10 Crazy Creepy Crocheted Masks
I remember back in the spring I wrote about a website called Brutal Knitting dedicated to very scary and creepy knitted masks and hats by designer Tracy Widdess. I don't know if it's Tracy who actually gets the credit for coming up with such a creative idea, but it seems there is another artist on t ...
Twitterholic Ladies: Elegant Hand Painted Satin Twitter Pumps
Now that we have all been thrust into social media, and we under its spell like a bunch of drones, getting married has gotten even more complicated. I wonder if anyone has ever written into his or her marriage vows, "I promise to always log off Twitter whenever you want my attention." Screw that! I ...
The Power Of Photoshop In A Blade Runner Speed Painting
I never worked much in Photoshop until I started writing articles on this site back in 2009. Since I'm so picky about the size and sharpness of the images in my posts, I use it every day now. I would still consider myself a Photoshop beginner at best, although a few months ago, I learned how to chan ...
Time Warp Photography: Yoda Was A War Hero In The 1930s
Just the other day, Richard wrote an article called Star Wars Characters From 1921. It was a bizarrely interesting combination of steampunk and old-timey messages which combined to show us what those characters might have looked like if they were created in that decade.
This article also portrays ...
How To: Beat Airport Baggage Limits & Fees
We all know that in the past few years, airlines have really cracked down on baggage restrictions. Not only have they gotten super strict about what they will allow people to carry-on the flight, but they have also started charging fees for checked luggage, which in the past was free.
This isn't ...
Stunning Bottle Cap Self Portrait
In our modern world, we don't really get to use our imagination much since we keep automating stuff that we used to do ourselves. It's quite interesting how things change with the technology, and what we did yesterday with our bare hands, we've found a better way of doing today. Even artists seem to ...
Superheroes As Unborn Babies: A Glimpse Into The Womb
Just when I thought we had featured all the popular superheroes in just about every way imaginable, Alexandre Nicolas surprises us with a new interpretation. This is how he imagines the superheroes before they were born, while they were still in the womb.
These are very interesting to me, especia ...
Gutters & Drains That Play Music When It Rains
Since I'm on the Internet pretty much all day every day, sometimes I think I've seen it all. Many times people will send me tweets and ask where I find the stuff I write about, and I don't even know how to answer that question. When you spend as much time online as Richard and I do, finding wild, wa ...
Creative Inspiration: Wear Wild Flowers In Combat Boots
We write about shoes a lot on Bit Rebels. I'm a shoe girl all the way, and I own more pairs of shoes than I do shirts, socks and blue jeans combined. I'm in love with beautiful shoes, and I can't help it. It's just who I am. Often times we write about shoes that aren't even made to wear. Richard jus ...
Tire Carvings: The Next Level Of Insane Creativity
A while back we featured an article about tire carvings that we're quite insane. Back then, the carving itself was on the top side of the tire, and it pretty much created an astonishing pattern when it rolled on anything soft. Of course, these tires were only used for art. I am quite sure that if th ...

World’s First Lego Greenhouse Built With 100,000 Lego Bricks
Many people consider London to be the design capital of the world, and each year in September when I see all the designs showcased at the London Design Festival, I can understand why. They are always fresh and innovative, and since I'm not a designer, I usually just stare at them in complete awe.

High Heel Nike Dunks: For Kickin Ass While Looking Good
I'm a big fan of high heels, and I always have been. Shopping for them is especially fun. There is nothing that can lift a Cosmo girl's spirits like trying on stilettos at a department store. They make our legs look long and lean, and I've got some nice big 'ol calf muscles from wearing them over th ...
A Disease Called Humans: A Creative Comic About The Earth
One thing that we love at Bit Rebels is the planet. Since we all live so far apart from each other, we feel the distance and the vastness of the Earth on a weekly basis. As technology continues to make our world smaller by connecting us all in ways we never thought possible even a decade ago, the fa ...
Guy Builds Life-Size Ford Mustang Coupe Entirely Out Of Paper
There are a lot of dedicated designers and conceptual artists out there who take their work quite seriously. Their time is measured in their latest project, and even if it takes them 10 years to finish something, they see it as invested equity in their art, which will add to the value of the artwork ...
