From the Renaissance to Impressionism to Contempory art, Star Wars improves everything it touches.

These are the results of a Photoshop contest to create photorealistic versions of cartoon characters as they might look in our human realm. My favorite is Moe Szyslak.

I bet this guy gets all the chicks with his toucan hand.

Lego master Mark Kelso has created a scale model of the Invisible Hand, General Grevious’ ship from Star Wars Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. The only thing that could make this cooler is if he made a model of a ship from a Star Wars movie that people actually liked.

So as it turns out, god is a DJ. Or DJs are necromancers. Or this one is made of magic. I’m not really sure to be honest, but this short film has apparently won a lot of awards.

Guerrilla art, or an elaborate plan to get the municipal authorities to clean the tunnel? You decide.

In 2003, Michael Townsend and seven other “artists” decided to build an apartment in the parking garage of a mall in Providence, Rhode Island. They took turns living in the apartment for up to three weeks at a time, until the end of September 2007 when Michael was caught by mall security.

Some Russian artists have created a headset that allows you to view the world like Neo from the Matrix, or like someone who has licked one toad too many.

Apple’s advertising campaigns are consistently creative, so what’s their secret? Well sometimes they borrow artists’ work and forget to get permission. My civics teacher, Ms. Whitehead, used to yell at me about that sort of thing all the time. Well who’s yelling now Ms. Whitehead? ASHAJFHDSHFSD!

If it weren’t for the fact that the lighting allows the men in the back to be seen too easily, I think this would be more impressive than the ping pong version.

If you’re a fan of the Rejected Cartoons, you may also enjoy watching Purple and Brown. If you’re a fan of devilishly handsome men, you may also enjoy watching my face. Get it? My face. Zing!

I know how much you kids like those new fangled video games, so I put two and two together and thought you might like this Line Rider map made to look like the first level of Super Mario Bros.

Sand Blasters is the Travel Channel’s attempt at making a show about sand sculptures exciting. See, they randomly blow up one of the sculptures… which it turns out is not actually exciting, since none of the sculptors are in the blast zone at the time. But hey, it looks kind of cool, especially in reverse.

I used to have a suit like this, but every time I wore it I was savagely beaten.

Thanks to recent advances in technology, you can create your own private dancer, a dancer for money, he’ll do what you want him to do. Just click paint and let your dreams do the talking.

I can’t imagine how long this took to make, and the only thing that could have possibly made it any better is if it repeated indefinitely.

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I, your intrepid administrator, created every one of these breathtaking sand sculptures. I’m sure you’re wondering how I find the time, what with being America’s greatest surgeon and all. Well, I’m amazing!

I like to create the most beautiful woman I can, followed by a horrendous guy. I then pretend that he’s her boyfriend and that upon seeing the adonis that is your administrator, she dumps his ass and makes out with me. Uh… what I mean by that is that I’m incredibly attractive and have sex with many real women!

A deviant artist by the name of ’spacecoyote’ has up and drawn an anime version of the Simpsons that is sure to have you giggling with delight in no time. The piece is based on this original Simpsons image. And she’s also got an anime version of the characters in Futurama.

Not strictly a work of Machinima; Paul Robertson’s Pirate Baby’s Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006 is a masterpiece animation based on the graphic look and feel of platform handhelds.

Keep your eye out for the Big Lebowski and Datsun 180b powerups!
