8-Bit Heroes: True Retro Art Inspiration
Today is one of those days when I would like to watch The Goonies, Back To The Future and all those old classic '80s movies.

It’s Great To Be Alive! Retro Safety Manual Uses Scare Tactics
I have always wondered why safety manuals usually have the same style when it come to graphics. Not only that, but they seem to make the people in the manuals happy as well, and that always freaks me out.

8-Bit Characters Depixelized: Awesome Futurfication Software
I sometimes get really bummed out that the 8-bit era has ended, and the original artwork created in the '80s is forever over.

Wall Graphic: Twitter Fail Whale Never Looked So Good
If you are active in social media, I am sure that you have at some point seen the now famous Twitter fail whale.

Old Skateboards Become Magnificent Peruvian Art!
Sometimes I wish I had continued riding that second-hand skateboard of mine when I was a bit younger. Maybe I could have become the Tony Hawk of geeks or something.

Tokyo-Go-Go Illustrations That Will Make You Go Wow!
