Turn A Boring IKEA Table Into A Kick Ass Lego Table
I stopped shopping at IKEA years ago. Their furniture is kind of like Ramen Noodles. It is fabulously awesome during a certain phase of life, but after that, it's over. However, this super duper Lego table made from a boring, plain looking IKEA table might be enough to inspire me to give that sto ...
Consumed: One Man’s Beautifully Visual Diary Of Food
Many people, especially in the United States where I live, have at some point reached a day in their lives when they decided they needed to lose a few pounds. The next step in the thought process is, "How will I do that?" Somewhere along the way we've probably read or had someone tell us that it's ...
Photography: A Woman Breaks Out Of Her Shell, Literally
There comes a time in every girl's life when she transitions into being a woman. With that new role comes a whole new set of responsibilities, expectations, and many times, a whole new life. Some women adjust to this change better than others. I touched on this a little in an article called Celeb ...
Body Painting: Colorful Kissable Animal Lip Artistry
'Tis the season of lips, kissing and love. Now that I think about it, when is it not the season of those things? Although I've never had cosmetic surgery to make my lips bigger, I've definitely been known to hang out in the bathroom from time to time with a bag of sugar and a lemon wedge, doing wha ...
How To: Make A Super Sweet Plastic Skull Doorbell
Skull art has always been popular. A quick Google search will reveal a ton of really cool art inspired by skulls; however, this is the cutest little skull design I've seen in a long time. I'd like to make one of these myself. Maybe it would scare away all the annoying people that come to my door ...

How To Make The Perfect Cocktail [Infographics]
We've really been getting into infographics lately. They are fun, colorful and a great way to get a lot of information at a glance. It seems infographics are popping up everywhere these days, and about every subject.
I worked in a very popular bar for a few years while I was attending Universit ...
Geek Art: Ink Pen Illustrations Created Using A Math Equation
Hmm... These are very unusual. I can't decide if it's brilliant art or the work of someone with a serious case of OCD. They kind of look like big balls of fuzz to me, like something that might come out of my dryer stuck in the lint trap.
I was surprised to find out that there is much more going ...
Star Wars Steampunk: How Star Wars Should Have Been?
It seems we have a steampunk theme today, but that's not really the truth. We have just struck a goldmine of awesome steampunk stuff, and we couldn't keep from sharing it with you. The more I see of the whole steampunk community, the more I like it. I wasn't very fond of the the whole thing a few ...
A Tribute To Steampunk: An Art Movement
Somebody asked me this morning to explain what steampunk is. It's a very interesting thing to try to describe. I love steampunk style, but it's tricky to put into words. It's kinda like modding modern day technologies into old-fashioned non-scary looking monsters. It's a little bit of goth mixed ...
Gaming Art: Beer Bottle Cap Game Characters
As we have stated before, art can come in a myriad of forms, sizes and shapes and none of them are right or wrong. It's quite interesting to know that almost half of all the art created with games as the inspiration comes from the early 80s and the Nintendo era. Those 8-bit characters truly have b ...
The Wearable Plant: Is It Fashion or Foliage?
The reason I write about plants on Bit Rebels is because it's as close as I can get to actually having them. I stopped buying plants a few years ago because I always accidentally kill them. And then, after they are dead, I go through the whole emotional spectrum like when I was six and I killed my ...
How To: Make Flirty & Naughty Valentine’s Day Cookies
What? You didn't know cookies could be flirty and naughty? Well guess again, they sure can be! These little lingerie bra (with a pearl necklace) and matching red-shimmering thong panty cookies are just as cute as can be, and they are perfect for Valentine's Day!
Shelly, a very sweet writer at ...
The Last Meal Requests of Death Row Prisoners
Here in America, we have the death penalty. It's a very controversial topic, and whether you are for it or against it, it's here. In most states, the death row inmates get to choose whatever they would like to eat for their "last meal." Whenever I think about this, it always reminds me of the bib ...
Los Angeles Zoo: Creative Ad Campaign In The Name Of Geek
One of the most creative industries must be advertising. Designing ideas and coming up with good ad campaigns must be a truly rewarding job if everything falls into place. When it doesn't, I can imagine that you would want to switch jobs in an instant. But when things work out, it certainly must ...
Creative Inspiration: The Toy Army Men With A Message
I've played with toy army men for as long as I can remember. The army men they sell these days are a lot different from when I was young. Now you can get fancy army men that snap together into a team, kind of like Lego blocks. But, my favorite ones will always be the old-fashioned, 2-inch tall gr ...
