Star Wars Posters: They Don’t Get More Minimalistic Than This
When I look at really creative and impressive posters, I always get a little childish thinking that I want to plaster my walls with them all over again. You know, just like we did when we were little kids, and we had every chance in the world to act like it as well. My walls were completely covered ...
Typography: Alphabet Created From Old Train Set
I've never seen train set typography before today, and I love it! I am a sucker for old trains, and if I had a spare room in my house, I would keep a train set assembled all the time. We've featured a lot of creative alphabets on Bit Rebels before. If you are looking for a creative way to teach your ...

The Beauty Of Selective Color Photography [10 Pics]
I've always been interested in photography, but it wasn't until I got my iPhone 4 that my passion for photography really came alive. There are just so many incredible free photography apps to download that I could spend all my spare time doing nothing but playing with new apps. Photoshop is another ...
Creative Skull Crafted From Real Human Brains
This seems like a no brainer, doesn't it? What better material could an artist use to make a skull than human brains? In this particular case, skull artist Noah Scalin used pickled and preserved brain slices to be exact.
Before you immediately think this is morbid (which I also did at first), aft ...
Freaky Unicorn Sculptures: Let The Nightmares Begin
Maybe I've been watching too many horror movies lately or not getting enough sleep. For some reason, I've been finding some really scary stuff online lately, and it's creeping me out. A few days ago I brought you these completely strange Brutal Knitting masks. Today, it's something even more bone ch ...

Are you tired of the same old boring lip gloss? Are your lipstick colors making you feel outdated? Well now you can dress up your lips in a style that some say will be the next big fashion trend. These are temporary lip tattoos.

Badass Spiders Made From TSA Confiscated Scissors
If you travel much by airplane, you've probably seen the big buckets of items confiscated at the airport security checkpoints. Last month when I was at the airport in Toronto, I was blown away by the huge plastic container that was almost as tall as me filled with everything from used toothpaste con ...
Brutal Knitting: Don’t Mess With This Yarn
I don't think I've ever seen the words brutal and knitting in the same sentence before. When I think of knitting, I think of sweet grandmas who carry around a little bag with different colors of yarn and knitting needles. I don't usually think of scary masks that might give me nightmares.
This wo ...
Discarded Maps Recycled Into Impressive Human Portraits
It's quite impressive to think that some people out there go out of their way to recycle their old things into new ones. It doesn't really matter what it is, they seem to find a use for it anyway. Sometimes the new use is even better than the old one. It's easy to be amazed by the Steampunk creation ...

Make Your Own Steampunk Mr. Potato Head
After seeing this steampunked Mr. Potato Head, I am officially convinced that absolutely anything can be steampunked. I'm just waiting for the day when someone steampunks their whole house, you know it's coming, right?
Instructables member saritamarianyc from New York put a steampunk spin on this ...
Most Creative Way To Recycle Your Ink Cartridges
If you didn't read the title of this article first, and if you just looked at the pictures below, what would you think those science fiction sculptures were made of? Would you ever guess those were old ink cartridges?
I really, really don't like buying printer ink. Not only is it messy and expens ...
Illustration: A Unique Star Wars & Disney Mashup
As Richard pointed out in one of his articles recently, there seems to be a growing culture of designers and artists who love to do mashups. It doesn't really matter what kind of mashups, and the more unusual the better. Combining two very distinct and different movie or gaming concepts that would n ...
The Lollipop Chair Made From Pure Sugar
Ahh... a chair made out of pure sugar. Could life get any sweeter than this? Too bad about that New York Times article last month, which said sugar might be toxic. I think I'm going to forget about that and dream of licking this chair till it's all gone. Ignorance is bliss, right?
The designer, P ...
