Creepy Cool Illustrations Of Mario’s Enemies
What do you get when you mix a love of playing Mario games, some insane sketching talent and a dash of dark energy? You get these very creepy cool illustrations. I stared at these for a while just admiring the details. We've featured a lot of different Mario artistic interpretations before, but I've ...

Elegant Gown Created From Recycled Plastic Bottles
Back in 2009 when we first started writing about recycled designs, I'll admit that most of them, although they were all fabulous, looked very homemade if you know what I mean. Now, two years later, the recycled designs we see are very different. Creating things with renewable resources is becoming a ...

Sometimes papercraft desig ...

The World’s Largest Treehouse: A Mansion In A Tree
I love treehouses. It's one of those things I always wanted when I was a little girl but never got, that and an Easy Bake Oven. The thing that is strange to me about this treehouse is that I always thought the world's largest treehouse would probably be in some exotic jungle, like the kind you only ...

Carbeque: The Tricked Out Car Transformed Into A BBQ
We are right smack in the middle of summer, and if there was ever a season for barbequing and spending time with friends outside, it's now. Here in Atlanta, I can walk outside on pretty much any Saturday afternoon and smell a grill close by cooking up burgers and hotdogs. It's just a tradition here ...

Photography: The Beatles Travel Through Time
Worth 1000 is well known for their super fun photo contests. It's always interesting to browse the entries for inspiration. Recently, they had a contest which caught my attention because the entries were just so fabulously creative and well done.

Wedding Vending Machine: Get Hitched For A Buck
What could be better than getting your wedding rings, saying your vows and getting a marriage certificate all in less than two minutes for a dollar at a vending machine? Okay, I can think of a lot of things better than that, but hey, don't knock it till you try it, right?
This pretty pink Autowed ...

Have Fun Making Pawprints In The Sand
This is an official cute alert! How fun would it be to go to the beach and walk in wet sand leaving animal footprints (or would that be pawprints) behind? Super fun, right? That's what I'm saying, which is why I'm bummed that these sandals are only made for kids. I wonder if I can squeeze my foot in ...

Extreme Face Painting: Designed To Mimic Famous Artwork
Just a few weeks ago I wrote an article about an incredible artist who designs complete Disney movie scenes with makeup on her eyelids. It's really the kind of thing you have to see to believe. If you want to see it for yourself, you can check out Eyelid Art.
Today I would like to share with you ...

Oreo Cookie Portraits: Too Pretty To Eat (Nah, I’d Eat ‘Em)
We are no strangers to food art at Bit Rebels. If you do a little poking around in a quick search on this site, you'll see that what some people create with their food is truly captivating. The Watermelon Death Star will always be my favorite, well, aside from the Yoda Cake of course. I don't know w ...

World’s First Chocolate Record That Plays Music
When I was a little girl, not only did I have to walk through snow to get to the bus stop every day, but I also had to listen to music on what was called a record. See kids, we had it rough back then. We would put the record on a record player and joyfully dance to the scratchy low quality sound. Of ...

The Anatomy Of An Effective Web Design [Infographic]
When creating a new website, there are a lot of things to consider before getting down to the nitty gritty stuff. There needs to be a requirements list, and a plan about how to lay it all out in order for the user (visitors) to enjoy the experience while browsing around on it. The graphics and the e ...

LOTR & World Of Warcraft Stained Glass
As we have said before here on Bit Rebels, art comes in many forms and shapes, and it's not always clear that it is art you're looking at. This is especially true when we are so used to seeing some of the crazy things people send to us. Well, this one is rather easy to spot, and it doesn't take long ...

Badass Tyrannosaurus Rex Created From 1,400 Balloons
I have a soft spot for balloon sculptures. I worked in a balloon store for several years when I was in high school. When I got my driver's license, I started dressing up as a clown and delivering balloons to people in the hospital. I've made several balloon sculptures over the years. Most of the tim ...

Man, the kids that live in this house are so lucky. How cool would it be to have your own Lego pancake robot to make you Mickey Mouse shaped pancakes every morning?
