An Aging Superhero: It Sucks To Get Older
Life is a curious thing really. Some people like getting older, while other people hate it. People getting plastic surgery is increasing by the thousands each year, and it's unlikely to stop anytime soon as we have all pretty much figured out by now. Yes, getting older comes with a lot of stuff we a ...

Type: 6 Minute Guide To The Pro Lingo [Video]
There you are, doing your best to impress people with your designs. You tinker, go over your stuff meticulously and almost border on the extreme before you'll let anyone even have a peek at them. That could really be a description of me, and a ton of other designers in the world. I check pretty much ...
Food Inspiration: The Most Adorable Bread You’ve Ever Seen
I never thought I would describe bread as being cute. It normally comes in a basket at a restaurant with a little tub of butter. It's delicious for sure, but cute? No way. This bread, on the other hand, is not only cute, it's adorable in a "I want to hug and squish it" kind of way.
This is bird b ...
Creative Ways To Transform Digital Photos Into Printed Memories
Back in the old days, almost all photography required some sort of skills. When we saw pictures with cool effects and lighting, we knew the photographer spent a lot of time learning how to get that particular look. These days, while professional photographers still blow us away with their artistry, ...
Mega Crane Made Out Of 2 Million Origami Cranes
The art of origami has gotten a great deal of space here on Bit Rebels, and that is not because we are insanely into origami. It's just that we think the skills involved and the mathematics necessary to create something as intricate as origami is uber geeky. It's of course also because it is so fric ...

Digital OCD: Making Sense Out Of The Madness [Photography]
Richard and I often joke that we have Digital OCD. Of course, OCD can be a very serious anxiety disorder, but we use the term more loosely. To us, it's more like everything just has to be a certain way here at Bit Rebels. Richard likes every little detail of the design to be just right, and he will ...
Cork Portraits: “Put A Cork In It” Gets A Whole New Meaning
The materials used to create art just 20 years ago were limited to pretty much a brush, some color and of course the canvas. However, as we've grown more used to awesome paintings over the years, it's almost impossible to impress anyone anymore with our skills to perfectly portray the human body or ...
Become A Sexy Beast With A Bushy Tail & Fuzzy Ears
These tails and hats definitely get the wacko award for the day, but hey, I'd wear them. I've always had a secret fantasy about growing up and becoming a wolf, or maybe I just want to meet a sexy wolfman, I don't know. Either way, according to BeastWares, everyone looks unbearably cute in these, and ...
For Stylish Geeks: The Super Mario Mushroom Bracelet
Somehow I've managed to work my way back around to Super Mario Bros. again. I learned a lot from that game, and when kids these days want to play it, I don't understand why parents get so upset about it sometimes. There are a lot of hidden lessons to be learned from playing that game.
There are e ...
Disney Street Art Goes Where No Art Has Gone Before
The street art we are used to these days is becoming quite mundane and ordinary, so I guess people around the world are starting to think up new ways to shock and awe us all. Some are good, and some are over the top to the level where we don't even get what the hell it is about. If you're living in ...
Amazing Porcelain Skulls: All I Can Say Is Wow!
Creativity can be such a productivity booster, but it can also be the devil for our to-do list if we are constantly thinking up new and cool ideas that will totally obliterate our schedule since it will take us forever to finish whatever it is we have come up with. I usually find myself penning down ...
World’s Most Intricate Illustrations Will Blow You Mind
Back in the day when we didn't have wireless land-line phones at home, we were confined to the space around where the phone physically was. It was the cord that actually limited our freedom when someone called us. Usually we had a pile of papers around where the phone was in order to keep our creati ...
Creative Color Collages Made From Trash On The Beach
We've written a lot of articles on Bit Rebels about recycled trash. It almost seems like over the past year or so it's become stylish and vogue to recycle trash. I love that because any steps we can take to clean up our environment is a step in the right direction.
I don't know about you, but whe ...
Charming Little Skulls Molded From Spices & Seeds
I just love these little skulls! The majority of people on the Internet that I've read comments from think they are creepy, but I think they are adorable. What a great idea to transform those boring spice racks we all have taking up space on our kitchen counters.
The artist, Helen Altman, molded ...
13 Company Logos & Slogans Redesigned As Condoms
Condoms make me laugh in an "I'm in sixth grade, and I have a lame joke to tell you" kind of way. It's not that they are really funny, but I giggle every time I see someone bust out with some creative condom marketing. I've written about condoms more times than I can count.
One of my favorites wa ...
