Developed by London-based illustrator Mr. Peruca, this collection of “Notorious Baldies” illustrations offers up one of the best collections of famous pop culture characters that also happen to be bald or going bald. Characters within the collection have been pulled from comic books, movies and television shows that include Star Wars, Breaking Bad, The Avengers, Batman, Superman, Lord of the Rings, The Karate Kid, Family Guy and The Goonies.

In addition to this collection, Peruca has also created a number of illustrations that uses isometric art to create popular figures such as Iron Man and Carl Sagan as well as a series on animals camouflaged in a specific color. If you have any interest in purchasing the Baldies series of images, you can find Peruca’s online shop here at Art&Toys.

18 of Pop Culture’s Most Famous Baldies of All Time

Paying homage to the collection of 1920s vintage mugshots of Australian criminals posted on Laughing Squid last year, Canadian graphic artist Jason Mark has applied the same type of look to a handful of classic Batman villains. Giving off a Gangster Squad vibe, Mark’s “The Usual Suspects” set includes his take on the Joker (John Doe), the Penguin (Oswald Cobblepot), Two-Face (Harvey Dent) and Mr. Freeze (Victor Fries).

The first three are dated in the early 1940s while Mr. Freeze’s mug shot is dated in the late 1950s. My guess is that the artist is working under the assumption that the technology keeping the good doctor alive didn’t exist until the late ’50s.

Mark’s other work includes a variety of DC and Marvel superhero-inspired art including Batman, Green Lantern and Wolverine. Check out “The Usual Suspects” below:

Definitely solidifying his place in the Hall of Fame of Amazing Fathers, David LaFerriere has been drawing illustrations on his kids’ clear, plastic sandwich bags since 2008. Basically a fun surprise when they popped open their lunchboxes at school each day, the creative graphic designer used a Sharpie to draw robots, food, animals, fun objects and a ridiculous number of monster variations that put the Pixar team who worked on Monsters University to shame.

In an interview with Mashable, LaFerriere said, “I used to work nights at a newspaper, and I’d be up early in the morning making my kids sandwiches. I started drawing on the baggies, sort of as a way to channel my creative juices in the morning, and it just ended up sticking.” LaFerriere started his illustrations when both of his boys were in elementary school, but has continued since both sons still enjoy checking out the illustrations each day in middle school and high school.

You can check out over 1,000 of the sandwich bag art designs on LaFerriere’s Flickr account. We have also picked out a handful of some of our favorites that you can check out below.

Enough cannot be said about the ridiculously cool design work of Fernando Reza, a graphic artist from Los Angeles. Just taking a look at his site, you will notice a variety of posters and other illustrations on the subject of various movies, television shows, video games and everything else related to pop culture.

This particular set of Mario Propaganda illustrations highlights the patriotism being promoted to residents of the Mushroom Kingdom, mainly a call to action to fight the dangerous menace known as Mario. You will see Goombas, Bullet Bill, Boo and a variety of other Super Mario enemies portrayed as heroes as they continue to battle the evil mustachioed plumber.

King Koopa must have his hands full cranking the propaganda machine in order to keep the Mushroom Kingdom united against Mario. Reza’s work was also used within the popular First Person Goomba video that details the typical life span of a Goomba.

Check out the full set of Reza’s Mario Propaganda Posters below:

You know what’s really awesome? The surprisingly high number of photos that come up when you type “awkward cat family photos” into Google Images. Like there were so many that only a fraction of them made it into this post — the ten absolute best of the best awkward of the awkwardEST. Without further ado, here they are in all their stunning glory.

A classic, there’s too much to love about this picture: the mid-90’s snowflake sweater, the exact same facial expression being shared by both pet and owner, the miniature Santa hat. But the best part of all is clearly the huge cat head floating around to the left.

9.

A similar dramatic cat inset, only this time everyone’s wearing matching turtlenecks. #win

A man lovingly shields his beloved cat from a frightening game of laser tag. Wait, is that a mullet or a rattail?

7.

And is this cat trying to escape? (Can you blame him?)

6.

These eyes…so soulful. And ladies, this one’s wrapped in garland (I hope).

5.

Um… Thank goodness for big cats!

4.

This picture leaving you feeling super jelly? Have no fear; you too can turn your cat into the mythical creature of your dreams with this inflatable unicorn horn for cats. They also make one for adults.

3.

Two out of the three cats in this picture are too embarrassed to even look up at the camera.

Best feline photo bomb. Ever.

And lastly, there’s these people who thought it would be a good idea to paint themselves like cats. That scowling kitten on the pregnant belly is going to give me nightmares well into the foreseeable future.

10 Most Awkward Cat Family Photos

I’m sure we can all agree that bacon is great for eating. But did you know it’s also a very aesthetically pleasing artistic medium? Or that it’s capable of being hooked up to oxygen gas and cutting through steel? Here are a few of the greatest, most unique uses of bacon from around the web.

Bacon Roses

Regular roses are just kind of lame, especially when compared to ones you can eat. Next time you need a romantic gift for that special lady in your life, follow these instructions and you’ll have the key to her heart: through her stomach.

Bacon Mug

Why would anyone use a regular old cup when you could drink from a bacon mug? Fill it with some Rogue Maple Bacon Ale for the most bacontastic experience possible.

Starry Bacon Night

Bacon: as exceptionally pleasing to the eye as it is to the tongue.

The Ba-K-47

This guy created a full-size replica of an AK-47 out of bacon. In his own words: “I came up with the BA-K-47, a 1:1 scale AK-47 made out of bacon. It took a total of eight hours to create, a lot of bacon, and a blowtorch… oh yeah, and our good friend beer helped too.”

Flaming Bacon Lance of Death

And this guy used bacon to literally cut through a steel pan. A bacon lightsaber? Could there possibly be anything cooler?

Bacon AT-AT

This specimen of pure awesomeness stands 3 feet tall and contains over 40 pounds of bacon. Here are some additional pictures so you can gaze upon its greatness from every angle.

Bacontivity

My mom makes an egg bake every Christmas morning. I’m going to pass this along and tell her she really needs to step up her game next year.

Kevin Bacon

As part of his series of celebrity portraits, artist Jason Mecier created this stunning portrait of Kevin Bacon, crafted entirely out of, fittingly, bacon. His other portraits are also pretty funny (though I’m not sure any are able to top this one).

Awesome Things Made Out of Bacon

Decking out your room with your favorite movie, TV show or comic book hero doesn’t have to end when you “grow up.” Here are some amazingly character-inspired cool rooms and living spaces, along with easy ways to add some similar, nerdy flair to your current home decor.

Batman Hotel Room

This Batman-themed hotel room, located in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan, costs $50 per three hours of use. Judging by the pictures, that’s a total bargain.

Do it yourself: You can buy a Batmobile bed frame on Etsy ($750) or, for a lot less, a pretty cool batmobile graphic for the wall ($90).

Superman Bedroom

This Superman bedroom has it all — a giant globe, the iconic telephone booth, and even Superman himself.

Do it yourself: Add a Phone booth sticker/poster to your door ($60), purchase a  life-size Superman cardboard cutout ($58), or just go all-out with a life-size fiberglass statue (only $4,999.99).

Star Wars AT-AT Bedroom

There are about a million awesome Star Wars rooms out there, but this AT-AT bed might literally be the coolest thing I have ever laid eyes on in my entire 27 years of life.

Do it yourself: Here’s a step-by-step tutorial for making your own AT-AT bed (and securing your place in the “best parent ever” club). Or just get this cute AT-AT quilted bedding (and score yourself a spot in the “pretty great parent” club).

James Bond Home Bar

This 007-inspired luxury home has a study with a secret rotating panel that turns into a bar.

Do it yourself: Being James Bond came up with this list of 12 James Bond home bar essentials. You can also get some official 007 martini glasses ($13 apiece) to class up your bar area.

Doctor Who Tardis Room

This guy created a replica Doctor Who TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space — basically, a time machine) at his parents’ house. It cost about $1,500, and according to him, involved lots of “drawings and math and many long nights involving mad laughter” to complete.

Do it yourself: Unfortunately, we aren’t all talented enough to build an actual TARDIS. Thankfully, there are many other TARDIS-themed items available to help you spice up nerd up any room (including a trashcan, lamp, tent, and cookie jar, just to name a few).

Comic Book Bathroom

Because bathroom walls covered in comic book pages not only look cool, but give you something to read while you’re in there.

Do it yourself: eBay sells pre-made comic book wall murals ($200+) or, follow these instructions to make your own wallpaper out of old comic books.

Star Trek Living Room

Sadly, the guy who spent 10 years turning his 500-square-foot apartment into a Star Trek fanboy’s dream home recently had to dismantle it after getting a divorce last year.

Do it yourself: If you want to follow in his footsteps*, installing this Star Trek Electronic Door Chime ($30) is a good place to start.

*You should probably make sure your wife is cool with the home makeover before you begin.

Balloon Bag End

Well, this Lord of the Rings-inspired room was constructed entirely out of balloons.

Do it yourself: Buy yourself some balloons and go all out I guess.

Avengers Playroom

This Avengers-themed playroom was featured on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition. More pictures of the awesomeness can be found here.

Do it yourself: The comic book-inspired talk bubble whiteboard is a really fun touch. You can get four of them for around $50.

Batcave Home Theater

Remember when I said the AT-AT bed was the coolest thing I had ever laid eyes on? Well, scratch that. This might just top it.

Do it yourself: Gothic lighting is a must for any batcave-inspired room. Here’s a bunch of options (prices vary).

X-Men Hotel Room

Why do all the coolest hotels have to be so far away? This one is located at Hotel Victoria in the Philippines.

Do it yourself: Unfortunately, there’s a serious lack of X-Men decor available for purchase online. However, here’s a tutorial for making your own X-Men bed.

Star Wars House

This Star Wars-inspired house is located in Hawaii, and it’s beyond awesome — just check out the home theater room, complete with a three dimensional fiber optic starscape and acoustic wall panels that look like starship doors.

Do it yourself: If you don’t have a few million dollars lying around, you can pretty easily and cheaply spruce up your entertainment area with some cool Star Wars film posters ($9 to $20). This Wampa rug might make a since addition as well ($116).

Cool Rooms: Nerdiest Geektastic Rooms Ever

Created by illustrator Tim Anderson, this collection of illustrations takes the classic 1920s pulp novel covers and applies the style to popular movie franchises. Movies adapted into pulp comics and novels within the collection include The Matrix, The Incredibles, Alien, Blade Runner, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi.

The Star Wars series is particularly creative since the illustrator also gave each movie a new title, specifically to tantalize the audience that reads seedy, pulp novels. In addition to his work with the pulp style, Anderson has already created other minimalist and homage art related to The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, The Fantastic Four, the Lord of the Rings series, Pee Wee Herman, Star Trek: Into Darkness and Gladiator.

If you are interested in purchasing a print of these pulp comic and novel illustrations, Anderson sells prints in regular and poster size on his Big Cartel storefront here. Check out some of our favorite illustrations from his collection below:
