Star Wars Characters From 1921
The Star Wars articles here on Bit Rebels have become like an old reliable friend. That's not because our readers really enjoy a good Star Wars creation (which you all seem to do), but because there is always stuff to write about it seems. Star Trek comes in a little bit behind when it comes to the ...
Angry Birds Superheroes: When Ordinary Just Isn’t Enough
There seems to be no end to what we are willing to go through to get ourselves an Angry Birds fix. We have seen countless examples of this through the years here at Bit Rebels. We've seen cakes, dinners, real life events, clothes and pretty much everything you can imagine. So where would we want to ...
Illustration: Classic Disney Animals Drawn As Humans
Did you watch comics on television after school in the late 80s and early 90s? Do you remember Disney Afternoon? It was a two-hour block of cartoons that featured many Disney characters we now consider to be classics. These characters were mostly animals like chipmunks, ducks and other non-human bei ...
Harry Potter In South Park: Worlds Collide
It's evident that people are gearing up for the resolution of the Harry Potter movie franchise. We've seen some trailers for the last movie coming out this July, and it looks nothing less than awesome. Yeah, I know some people don't even like Harry Potter, but the box office numbers don't lie. It's ...
Zelda Chess: The Ultimate Hand Carved Geek Creation
Chess is one of the oldest board games ever created, and it puts our skills to the ultimate test.

However, that's not such an easy task, and we need many years of practice to maste ...
20 Simplistic Typography Movie Posters: Pure Genius
Once again, I want to visit the realm of movie posters. Yeah I know, I am quite a fanatic. The fact is that as long as people try to send a message through them, I will always check them out. We have touched on the subject of simplifying the meaning of movie posters before, and the more I look for t ...
Retro 8-Bit Super Mario Ghostbusters Mashup
Some of you may have seen my post about the Depixelization Software that I wrote about the other day. It's basically an algorithm that transforms pixelated retro game art into smooth and up-to-date graphics. I have a sneaky suspicion that it compiles it into vectors which in turn makes the art not o ...
Sin City Welcomes Disney Princesses To Be Badass
When Sin City was released, everyone was talking about the visuals and how unique and genuine they were. I must say that I was a little impressed by the movie, even though the storyline was a little bit thin and most of the time the movie itself was a little hard to get into because of the way they ...

Hand Crafted Cross-Stitched Star Wars, Ghostbusters And More…
So you're not the most skillful drawer. You can't play an instrument, and you definitely don't dare standing in front of the camera. How can a Star Wars geek express the most ultimate creativity if he or she is not engaged in any of these different areas? The reality is that whatever you undertake, ...
ABC Superheroes: The Only Way Kids Should Learn The Alphabet
The really boring part about being born before the '80s is that we weren't a kid when all the cool things finally started hitting the stores. It seems when I was a kid, things were less refined and sophisticated. It's like people weren't able to think a couple years ahead of time to really start dig ...
Trexels: 235 Star Trek Characters In Awesome Pixelations
I think it's safe to say that everyone will agree when I argue that Star Trek is probably the most influential science fiction TV show ever created. Not even the Star Wars franchise can measure up to its impact on society, and the gadgets we are drooling over today. I have to admit though, as a youn ...

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 ...
8-Bit Photography: Game Characters Escape Once Again
Not too long ago, I wrote about the wonderful and creative image mashups of 8-bit game characters that had escaped to reality. I also wrote about the awkward job interviews with some of the most legendary game characters that we all may ever know. As expected, the interviews didn't work out that w ...
