Love The Neverending Story tattoo that John posted a couple of days ago? Then take a look at these beauties: Phil Garner's Labyrinth tattoos by Richard "Bez" Beston of Triplesix Studios. I see Hoggle, Goblin, Sir Didymus, The Fire Gang, Ludo, and The Worm. Bowie and his, uh, "package" is inexplicably missing.
Flavorwire has 24 more tattoos inspired by children's movies: Link - Thanks Russ!

They're just a bunch of handbags out on the town, no big deal on the fashionable Hollywood streets.
Wait, this picture was taken during the 2011 Halloween festivities in West Hollywood? That explains the clown...

This clever Melanie Daniels costume, a character from Hitchcock's classic horror film The Birds, is so easy to put together that anyone can make it.
All you need is a vintage dress and jacket, blonde wig, some stuffed birds and lots of fake blood.
Slash the jacket for added horrific effect, maybe add a wound effect or two to your face and you've got a memorable Halloween costume in the making.

Elvis may have physically "left the building", but his spirit lives on inside this cute little dressed up dog!
He ain't a hound dog, but his barkin' all the time drives the poodles in skirts wild. I think they're blinded by this little guy's bold personality and oversized belt buckle.

This clever costume really brings the Van Gogh theme to life, and aside from that wire around his head it looks like a fairly comfortable costume to wear.
We applaud this guy's painting skills, creativity, and the fact that he still has both of his ears!

This roadkill kittie decoration may not be to your taste, but at least it will spark up conversation when the legions of candy crazed children arrive at your doorstep!
Now, before your heart drops remember- this is only a plushie, no cats were harmed in the making of this hilariously tacky decoration.

Clever costumer Stella Hwang created this fun Finding Nemo costume with a bunch of balloons and a Nemo plush.
The illusion is completed when you view this costume from far away and Nemo starts "swimming" around!
The times may be a-changin', but the Halloween fun of wearing costumes stays relatively the same.
Join us as we take a tour of Halloween costumes and sugar laced revelry from the last hundred years or so.
You'll laugh, you'll cringe and you'll soon find out that things don't change much when it comes to dressing up for Halloween!

Even in 1917 dressing in drag was a popular costume choice for Halloween, and since this was a year found smack dab in the middle of World War I dressing in military gear was also a popular choice.
However, the combination of drag and olive drab makes this one group you wouldn't want to run into while you're on shore leave.

A little bunny girl captured on film way back in 1922 in Toowoomba, Queensland, Australia, and she looks like she's ready to have a hopping good time out on the town.
It's nice to see that DIY Halloween fashion hasn't changed much in the last 90 years.

The band of gypsys shown here look like they're up to no good, and once again they prove that Halloween can be a real drag!
I hope these ne'er-do-wells don't drag their younger siblings down with them, or else 1930 is going to be the beginning of their careers as petty criminals...

A public school teacher from Waterdown, Ontario Canada decided to show her love of Halloween by wearing this festive ensemble- jester style hat, mask, striped scarf with pumpkin medallion and striped skirt to match.
My, don't you look like the cat's meow Miss Crabapple!

Here's a picture from 1946 of a boy wearing what is described as a "cockney style outfit", which looks a bit disco biker to me.
And is that a real live bird on his shoulder? This kid's got a lot of moxy, I tell ya what...
These fun Pixar's Cars themed internal anatomy illustrations are by Jake Parker, and I think they just made the whole talking car thing a bit creepier.
Jake's illustrations have come a long way from their humble beginnings back in 2008 (link below), and I hope he creates one of these cool diagram for every character.
One question comes to mind when I look at these drawings- do the dealerships scoop the brains out of the vehicles before they sell them, or is that procedure dealt with at the factory?

Most dogs dream of being a big, bad wolf but old Baxter here dreams of being a fierce Lion.
Here he is all dressed up and ready to ROAR!
Many parents I know privately cringe when their children want to go to art school. And for good reasons: It's expensive and job prospects afterwards aren't exactly bright.
But there's one bright side to being starving artists: they're actually happier than the rest of us.
Researchers analyzed job data in Germany, which included information on how fulfilled people felt in their current positions. On a scale of 1 to 10, artists—those whose principal occupation involves performance or visual art—ranked their job satisfaction at 7.32 to 7.67 on average, while nonartists averaged 7.06. The root of this satisfaction remains unclear. More artists than nonartists reported being self-employed, which suggests that autonomy influences job satisfaction, but data linking fulfillment to other predicted variables—such as a wide diversity of available jobs and high levels of on-the-job learning—were statistically inconclusive.

Who says that humans have all the fun on Halloween? Here's how it is ... Kristen Moss dressed her Corgi Onyx the Ting as the spaceship Serenity from Firefly. You got a costume, dog can wear it, don't much care what it is.
This awesome piece of optical LEGO art was created by Arthur Gugick, a man who had a vision of Batman and the Joker on the same piece of LEGO art then made his vision come true.
Tilt it one way-you've got the Caped Crusader, tilt it the other way you've got Mr. Joker in all his glory.
Arthur's superheroic work has added another angle to the world of LEGO art!
