Comic books introduced the world to an iconic pantheon of characters with god-like powers who star in timeless tales of good vs. evil, but well before comics the Old Masters were telling similar stories with their artwork.

And now the subjects of those old works of art have been replaced with the heroes of the Marvel Universe in these fun fine art updates by VFX artist David Cubero, who uses Marvel toys as the subjects.

Here's what David has to say about this heroic project:

I love toys and photography and I have been shooting pics of my toys collection since 2009. Recently I started this series about the history of art using Marvel Toys, mostly Iron Man. Why? Because I use references to create new pictures and I thought it would be fun to recreate this well-known images with modern iconic heroes.

There's a guru out there for everything from fashion to fitness to spirituality, but the lifestyle gurus have to be the most useless of the bunch.

So what kind of person would hire a lifestyle guru like JP Sears? The kind of person who would wear a PC Police badge proudly and get easily offended by the dumbest stuff just so they can tell everyone how offended they were.

If this sounds like the kind of person you'd like to become then this video by JP Sears is your gateway to a new life full of exasperation and thin skin.

Now that you've watched this life-changing video and feel you can't live without JP's guidance check out his ultra spiritual book How To Be Ultra Spiritual, it's truly ultra!

Fashion illustration and fashion design aren't exactly the same thing, since designs are used to make clothing but fashion illustrations often feature clothing that would be virtually impossible to duplicate in real life.

So fashion designers will look at Tina Jiang's amazing illustrations and get a bit frustrated, after they wipe the drool from their chins, because the clothes featured in Tina's illustrations look amazing but they'd be a nightmare to make.  

Won't you look at the time, it's blossoming. #art #illustration #drawing #sketch #sketching #figure #gesture #ipadpro #applepencil #procreate #dress #gothic #peony #love

But Tina's fantastic illustrations aren't all about the clothes- each one tells a story inspired by mythology:

The 28-year-old UC Davis BFA synthesizes powerful poltergeists and etherial deities from a variety of folkloric traditions on her Instagram account.

"I get most of my inspiration from Asian folklore, some Greek mythologies, and a rare few from my dreams," she tells Creators. "I get some pretty vivid dreams."

David Lynch has made my geeky dreams come true by bringing Twin Peaks back to TV, and his past films still haunt my dreams and give me the occasional daymare when I think back on them all.

But as far as Oscar-nominated filmmakers go David is quite reserved, preferring to keep to himself and keep his chats with the press to a minimum.

That's why even hardcore Lynch fans may not know many of the odd and interesting facts on this list of Strange David Lynch Facts, like the fact that he didn't leave his room for two weeks when he first arrived at college- he only left his room when the batteries in his radio died.

And have you ever wondered why David Lynch always buttons the top button on his shirts? He's not trying to be fashion forward- he buttons it because it makes him feel safe.

Even though Lynch's films have forever changed the movie industry by proving artistic films can make millions he initially wanted to be an artist-he is an avid painter and he used to draw a comic strip called The Angriest Dog In The World.

The New York Times once wrote that Lynch's paintings look like they were "seemingly made by a psychiatric patient nursing festering grudges." Maybe Bob helped guide his hand?

Cats are born to be master thieves, raised to be super sneaky, and taught the fine art of stalking, hiding and stealing by their feline elders, with some students showing more promise than others.

But even the most inept cats are pretty good at snatching stuff without their humans noticing, that is, when they're not acting all IDGAF about the rules of the house.

And if cats had any concept of monetary value they could make a fortune pilfering jewelry from our dressers and selling our electronics on Craigslist while we're at work. Instead they just steal silly stuff like books and pens then give us that "what?" face.

(Image Link)

You can't blame cats for going a bit stir crazy when they're locked in the house all day, so we smile and laugh when they relieve their boredom by stealing stuff.

However, stealing food is a serious no-no when they're in our homes, but if you hang a bunch of delicious fish outside where your outdoor cat can reach them then all bets are off!

There are so many special effects artists working in the entertainment industry today that it's hard to make a name for yourself unless your creations really stand out, and if you have your own style then all the better.

Which is why fx artist Patrick Magee is so sought after in Hollywood- he has his own style, his creations range from hyper realistic to gruesome and cartoony, and the scary stuff he sculpts stands up to scrutiny.

The Nintendo Switch has been a hot seller since it came out three months ago, and even though many gamers bought it so they could play the new Legend Of Zelda game Breath of the Wild they keep finding new reasons to love the Switch.

And thanks to YouTuber UnlockRiver you can add one more reason to love the Switch to the list- the little sucker seems to be virtually indestructible, proven by the fact that it survived a thousand foot drop.

Looks like the Switch will be catering to a new market soon- skydivers!

Alien Peanut Inside by IdeasConPatatas

They thought they were immune to the laws of movie land because they're made of candy, but those little chocolate guys with the colorful crunchy shells discovered life in movie land was fraught with peril- and creatures from all across the universe find their flesh delectable. They also found out that those Ms with the peanut inside them were even more vulnerable to bodily invasion by certain kinds of alien parasites, and yet they had no way of knowing when they'd been infected because their crunchy outer shell prevented them from feeling what's inside them. And as the alien young started breaking through those Ms on their chests it became clear there's nowhere to hide when you're a piece of candy!

Born to be Wild by ursulalopez

Link is the true nature's child, he was totally born to be wild and he never wants to die, but the people who pull his strings keep making him lose heart, which is totally lame. If only Link were in control of his own life, and able to move much less take a breath without some shadowy human "gamer" controlling his every move. Perhaps his wild side will prevail some day, and he'll be able to free himself from those forces from beyond Hyrule who keep sending him on daring adventures and forcing him to face dire circumstances. Until then, the wildness in Link will just have to stay hidden underneath the surface, waiting to come out when he's more than just a character in a video game...

Add some legendary gaming awesomeness to your geeky wardrobe with this Born To Be Wild t-shirt by Ursulalopez, it's the fun way to increase your fashion game without decreasing your bank account!

Diddly Doodly by Firebeard

It's hard to say what made old Neddy snap on that hot August day, but after the day of the Diddly Doodly nothing would ever be the same. It seems Flanders had been suppressing quite a bit of anger, much of it due to living next door to Homer Simpson, and without a release that bottled up anger made his holy roller cork pop- and he went totally psycho. Nobody in Springfield was safe from a bible thumping, and yet nobody could figure out who was murdering people in town, that is, until Bart saw Ned throwing away a sheet covered in blood...

Show the world what happens when an uptight neighbor loses their mind with this Diddly Doodly t-shirt by Firebeard, it's a bloody funny way to make your fellow Simpsons fans smile wherever you go!

My Mean Teen-Killing Machine! by ClayGrahamArt

Childrens books have become a bit too dark for my taste, and it seems like no topic is too taboo anymore as long as the drawings are cute and kiddy. Take the latest release from Mamma Voorhees for instance- it talks about how her son loves to kill teen campers who visit Camp Crystal Lake, and how he runs around the woods like a maniac with a hockey mask and machete. This does not sound kid friendly to me, but after reading it I will say the book conveys a strong message about loyalty and obeying your parents, but it seems odd that Mama Voorhees would want to advertise the fact that her son is a murderer...maybe she's lost her head?!

This My Mean Teen Killing Machine t-shirt by ClayGrahamArt will make people laugh their heads off wherever you go, and you'll become known as a real cut-up!
