Now Iron Man Has His Own R2-D2!
Just a few articles ago, I wrote about how Star Wars and Hello Kitty had joined forces to bring us some strange kind of fusion. Well, maybe not joined forces, but someone put the two together to form what some call "Hello Vader" or "Darth Kitty." I totally think that this kind of creativity is wha ...
The World’s First Hotel Made From Garbage Opens!
We've all seen it on the beach and cringed, right? There are so many empty beer bottles, lost shoes, plastic bags... garbage! Apparently in Europe it is an even bigger problem than here in the States.
Corona beer partnered with German artist, HA Schult to raise awareness about this increasing p ...
Insects Embedded With Technology – Science Fiction Inspired Art
I'm having a hard time deciding if this is really creepy or kinda cool. Remember the guy that took dead flies and put them in fun positions to photograph? If not, you can check out some crazy pics of that here.
Mike Libby from Insect Lab does something similar, but a little more diabolical. He ...
The Magic Of This Art Transformed Sadness Into Happiness!
Before I moved to Atlanta years ago, I lived for a brief time in Charleston, South Carolina. In Charleston, there is a historical street called Rainbow Row where all the houses are painted different pretty pastel colors. I included a Flickr link so you can see a beautiful picture of Rainbow Row he ...
The Most Magical Paper Craft Castle In The World
We have featured a lot of paper craft art on Bit Rebels lately. As paper craft becomes more and more popular, we continue to see people push the limit on what can be created with a piece of paper. When @SuuperG sent a tweet today featuring this paper craft art installation created by Wataru Itou, ...
A Gigantic Spider Web Made From Tape – Creative Inspiration
Yes, you read that title correctly. This team of designers used only packing tape to create this huge spider web, which they called "self-supporting cocoons."
These cocoons are so strong that people can actually climb into them and hang out. This Viennese/Croatian design collective For Use/Nume ...
Melted Straws Fuse Together To Create Unusual Art
One of the many things I have learned from being a writer at Bit Rebels is that art can be created out of anything. A true artist is only limited by his or her imagination. This is not just a cliche; it's a statement of truth.
After all, we've seen totem poles made out of crayons, sculptures ma ...
How To: Make Your Own Tattoo Gun Using An Electric Toothbrush!
A few years ago if you got a tattoo you were considered a bad boy of society. Nowadays it's as common as going to the store to get milk. Pretty much everyone gets them today and some even keep getting them until their entire body is filled with those tattoos. I have a few myself, and I'm planning ...
An Origami Tea Bag – Appreciate The Simple Things In Life
I don't know what it is with hot tea and me lately, but I feel like a little kid who is discovering something new. Yesterday I bought a beautiful hand-carved wooden box lined with navy blue velvet that is filled with different flavors of tea from all around the world. I'm having the best time expe ...
25 New Nike Designs Including Twitter, Google & Michael Jackson!
We must really dig unique and geeky sneaker designs because we've written about them a lot here on Bit Rebels. Maybe I'm more of a dork than I thought, but when I saw these Twitter sneakers, I instantly started drooling. I would totally wear these! :)
Daniel Reese, a 21-year-old sneaker designer, ...
Your Favorite Movies Illustrated – Artist Inspiration
If I could draw worth a flip, I think it would be so much fun to be a story artist. Not little kids stories, but I'm thinking more like fun adult stuff. My favorite story artist at the moment is Josh Cooley. He works for Pixar Animation, and he's got so much talent it makes me drool.
For the p ...
Used Tea Bag Art – What a Beautiful Way to Recycle
I love both coffee and hot tea. To me, coffee is less maintenance though. You just pour it in a mug, add a little cream and go. Tea, on the other hand, takes more patience. You have to stand there while it steeps and then deal with the drippy messy tea bag when you take it out.
What do you do ...
Colorful Crayon Sculptures – You Gotta See It to Believe It
Somewhere along the way when the Universe and all the angels were distributing artistic talent, I got left out. I can sketch a halfway decent dog, but that's about it.
I look at creative artists like Diem Chau who carve people, animals and mythological creatures out of crayons and I'm blown away ...
A Zany Keyboard – Typography Inspiration
I love typography because it's so raw and simple. Since I'm not a designer, I'm always fascinated to see how people are able to arrange and modify type.
There are truly an unlimited number of ways to design letters. I think a lot of times we take typography for granted. It is easy to read a wo ...
Art Made From A Human Skeleton – Photography Inspiration
Photographer Francois Robert found a wired together human skeleton, used in a science class at a school, at an auction sale. Since he's always loved skeletons, he bought it, but then decided he needed bones that weren't wired together for his plan. Many years passed...
Then he found a box of 20 ...
