Pencil Art: 8 Simple Illustrations Made With Pencil Shavings
I'm one of those people who prefers to write with a pencil or crayon more than a pen. I'm not talking about those fancy mechanical pencils either. I like the old-fashioned wooden pencils that you sharpen with the little sharpeners we all used to have when we were kids. If you've sharpened a pencil w ...
A Collection Of Art From Pop Culture Extraordinaire Scott C.
If you’ve never heard of Scott C. before, get ready to get happy. If you have heard of him, this will be a nice reminder of how awesome he is. For more than a decade, Scott C. has been making a name for himself as an illustrator and artist. After leaving his job at Lucas Learning (as in George Lucas ...
Paintbrush & Candy Box Packaging With A Little Flavor Savor
I quickly get sucked into packaging design that embraces a genuinely extraordinary concept. These are design solutions that are more than practical and beyond functional where art and craft collide with commerce. I also take notice when graphics and illustration flow together on all surfaces of what ...
Norman Rockwell’s Famous Illustration Gets A Makeover
I've seen this famous Norman Rockwell print called The Runaway many times during my life. You probably have too. It's one of those classics that still hangs in many restaurants and ice cream shops. It first appeared in 1958 on the cover of Saturday Evening Post.
One special quality about the orig ...
Creative Star Wars Posters in Silhouette
We spotted this excellent series of Star Wars posters while perusing the web and just had to share them with you. Featured on Nerd Approved, the artist created a poster for all six of the Star Wars movies using simple yet elegant silhouettes of characters and scenes from the films.

Cover Your iPhone With This Foxy Doodle
Lots of us like to doodle. In fact, I waste a lot of time doing it when I should be working, but few of us are able to take it to the level of artistry shown on this original iPhone cover called the Fox Cub Dream. This gorgeous illustration was created by Pete Katsiaounis with a regular ballpoint pe ...
Star Wars Inspired Animal Wars Illustration
I love the original Star Wars poster that inspired this illustration. In fact, I have it up on the wall right behind me, so normally I wouldn't really like the idea of anyone changing it. Then I saw this amazing tribute, created by the Spanish design team Nomade, and instantly I changed my mind.

World’s Greatest Birthday Adventure [Video]
Isn't it weird how we obsess over our friends' and loved ones' birthdays and what to give them? We usually get them things that will most likely go pale with time or go out of style. We try to find the perfect this or the perfect that, but what is really perfect? Are we that obsessed with perfection ...

Pictogram Song Posters: A Picture Is All It Takes [12 Pics]
I think we are all familiar with the saying that a picture is worth more than a thousand words, right? For songwriters, the big challenge has always been to deliver a message based on melody and lyrics, yet still get the core of your thoughts understood. It doesn't necessarily have to be a deep thou ...
When They Were Young: Baby Star Wars Characters
Before the prequels were released and George Lucas had just announced that he was working on another set of three movies I, along with millions of other Star Wars fans, got really excited. I believe it was about a couple of weeks after the announcement that we still didn't know whether it was going ...

Super Mario vs. Street Fighter: The Epic Mashup [10 Pics]
Another day another mashup! That's how it is here at Bit Rebels, and we love it! As usual (and to stay true to our undefined series of mashups), we're once again back with a Super Mario mashup that I think you guys are just going to love. We feature a lot of mashups here, and mostly they've been Sta ...
Where’s WALL-E: A Geek Robot Mashup With Where’s Waldo
I don't know if this is really considered a mashup, but I love it. Do you remember Where's Waldo? I grew up on those books, and I remember spending hours searching for that little red and white guy on those pages. It was so much fun when I finally found him. It's amazing how easy it is to get a sens ...
Historical Lives Illustrated In Minimalistic Pictures
I'm stepping over into Richard's territory a little bit with this article. He is an extraordinary designer, and he writes about minimalist design a lot. According to him, it's much more difficult and requires a lot more creativity to make an effective minimalist design when compared to a fancy busy ...

If Social Media Sites Were Real Addictions [Chart]
We often hear people joke around that they are addicted to their social media sites. To those of us who hear that everyday (because we ourselves are addicted), it's really just a way of life. It's no big deal, right? To people who aren't on their computer all day long with a window minimized for Fac ...
A Different World: Can You Spot What’s Wrong?
Seeing the world from a constant perspective, such as from one of those old globes that you can buy and put on your table, teaches us that the world has a pattern all its own. We get so used to looking at globes when we are growing up that we can tell immediately, from just a glance, what part of th ...
