Exploded Andy

I love the little green robot character that has become the personality of the Android brand. (Remember the Android toys – sorry; mini-figs, I posted about previously? No? you better check back here). Well now you can buy an exploded (in a nice way) Android poster or t-shirt. Created by artist Gary Booth, you can buy them through this website. I think these are way cool… and I'm an iPhone fan!

Stuff no-one told me, but I learned anyway

Alex Noriega is an illustrator from Barcelona who "likes to draw things with small faces". I love these little 'life lesson' illustrations from his blog "Stuff no-one told me, but I learned anyways". Tiny little narratives that give us a peek into his ( I think he's a fella, although Alex could be a girls name, I 'spose… Well we'll settle for 'he' until he tells me different!) He's also got another blog of his sketches, (his sketchblog) which has all this stuff too, and much more. Nice stuff.

Custom Hello Kitty toys

My five year old daughter would love most of these… my five year old son would love a couple too!

Created by Joseph, an illustrator from Auckland, New Zealand, these 'virtual' (illustrated) Hello Kitty toys are pretty cool.

If you're lucky you might be able to see them over at his MySpace page, although when I visited all the graphics had a "Bandwidth exceeded" picture their instead, so maybe not.

I nicked these images from nicef***inggraphics.

I've spotted some Star Wars character in there, as well as Buzz Lightyear, Star Trek and even Ugly Betty.

The Joker – 50 artist's visions Batman's arch-rival

When it comes to baddies, you don't get much better (or worse) than the Joker. From the camp prankster played by Cesar Romero in the 60's TV series, and original 1966 movie… to the darker, more twisted character first brought to my attention in Frank Millers "The Dark Knight Returns" graphic novel… the evil genius played so memorably by Jack Nicholson in the first of the 'modern' Batman films in 1989… and more recently taken to the next level by Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight.

It's not surprising that the character has inspired some great artwork. De Bango, a 'design addict' from France has curated an impressive collection of 50 artist's visions of "Le Joker". I've included a few of my favourites here, you can check out all 50 on his blog.
