Hilarious Ad For The Dollar Shave Club


(YouTube Link)

The Dollar Shave Club wants to sell you razors so you can get busy shaving your hairiest body parts, and with this ad cutting through the interwebs I'm sure they'll be chin deep in loot in no time.

Selling shaving razors club style for a few bucks a month doesn't sound like the best idea for a company, but this hilarious commercial has convinced me otherwise, mostly because they have a guy in a bear suit working in their warehouse. A guy in a bear suit wouldn't be caught dead working for a crappy company, at least not while wearing the suit.

Vhils Pays A Visit To Shanghai



Super original street artist Vhils is back with more of his urban deconstruction artworks, which are created by carving the details of each portrait into the walls to expose what lies beneath. I like to think of his works as artistic erosion, and his skills are undeniable because they're written in stone.

Check out his new works straight from Shanghai, portraits of evicted tenants on the faces of buildings set to be destroyed. They bring a sense of majestic beauty to an otherwise ruined cityscape, it's just too bad they'll all come tumbling down someday soon.

Soundcloud user Lazyitis has released the most charmingly original mashup song I've heard in a long time, a remix version of The Smiths "This Charming Man" to the tune of the Super Mario Bros. theme, complete with sound effects and a delightfully digital sound. Mozzerheads unite, we're gaming tonight!

Mark Newport Knits Costumes For Superfolks



Artist and freakin' awesome knitter Mark Newport recently debuted his new series IN ACTION, an installation that features knit suits for superheroes, at the University of Texas Downtown Gallery. So now your favorite comic book characters can be warm and cozy while patrolling the city looking to bust some bad guys.

You can see the rest of the suits in the collection, as well as a creepy video of Mark knitting away while wearing a cable knit suit straight from my nightmares, at the link below.

Wacky Wild Restaurant Designs From Around The World



If you're looking for a restaurant that will knock your socks off with an innovative interior design, then this list of far out restaurants on Flavorwire will come in handy.

From the dangerous looking Labassin Waterfall restaurant in the Philippines that John Farrier posted last month (link),  to the tripped out psychedelic striped interior of Cafe Kunsthalle in Baden-Baden Germany (above), these interesting interiors are sure to delight the senses as you chow down.

No word on whether the food is any good in these themed restaurants, but with such interesting interiors it's a sure bet you're not going to visit them just because the food's good. Check out the rest at the link below, they're well worth the price of admission.

The Shockingly Minimalist Horror Film Alphabet



If you've memorized every line from Re-Animator and you're a big fan of the alphabet then you'll probably dig this illustrated chart, which was created by Stephen Wildish in honor of some of the most popular horror movies of all time.

From Zombieland (new) to The Omen (old school) and many fan faves in-between, this ghoulishly minimalist alphabet poster would look right at home in a butcher shop or hunting lodge, and is sure to start many bloody good conversations. Bonus points if you can name every movie on this chart!

Clemens Behr Takes His Sculptures To The Street



The (mostly) urban sculptures created by Clemens Behr kinda look like carefully arranged piles of trash, but throwing these works of art away would be such a tragedy, as they bring a sense of wonder and chaotic disorder to the urban cityscape.

From a giant skull made out of paper goods to psychedelic tent like structures set up on grassy plots like some sort of hobo's nightmare, Clemens brings his brightly colored madness to the streets and, thanks to him, the big city is a much more colorful place.

Fan Film Shows Geek Love For Static Shock


(YouTube Link)

Static Shock found a lot of love from cartoon fans and comic book enthusiasts when the animated series debuted in 2000 on the WB. Based on the Teen Titans character Static, an African-American teenager with the power to control static electricity and magnetism, Static Shock was geared towards a younger audience, and therefore dealt with much tamer topics than the comic book series.

This fan film was made in honor of creator Dwayne McDuffie (who passed away just over a year ago), and it looks to somehow combine the two sides of Static and pack plenty of power into a full length movie version.

The trailer doesn't reveal very much, but I like the gritty style and the idea of showing Static learning to use his powers while wearing a crappy, homemade costume, all through the eyes of a news reporter.

Antichamber Is Psychedelic Gaming Goodness


(YouTube Link)

In a world full of first person shooters and epic roleplaying games, it's nice to know that game designers are still interested in stepping out of their comfort zones and creating strange conceptual games that blow minds and take players on some rather strange trips.

Created by Alexander Bruce, this game looks like a nightmare journey through an old school PC with a serious virus, and the soundtrack serves as a constant reminder that things aren't always what they seem in this surreal journey called Antichamber.

Real Life Kabuto Slingshot Spear From One Piece


(YouTube Link)

One Piece is officially the most successful anime series ever, so it's no surprise that custom toy weapon builders would want to bring some of the props from this series to life. The Slingshot Channel decided to make a Kabuto, a slingshot spear, for themselves in order to test its feasibility as a deadly weapon, and the results are dangerously cool! Check out the video and decide for yourself if this bad boy belongs in your home arsenal.

Tired Of Squeezing Your Own Juice? Get The Gurefuru Chuchu!


(YouTube Link)

Leave it to the Japanese to invent a gadget that is both useful and fun, all in a cute little package! The Gurefuru Chuchu is an innovative device that allows you to convert fruit into juice right inside the peel, without any squeezing, cutting or mess.

It's obviously marketed towards children, but I could see the Chuchu catching on big time with all juice lovers, especially those who enjoy a novelty factor with their fruit juicy goodness. Gurefuru Chuchu go forth and juice it good!

Porcelain Fighters Come Crashing To The Ground

The tiny ceramic combatants in this gallery look like they're battling themselves into pieces with their fierce kung fu skills, but they're actually just a bunch of figurines that have been dropped on the ground for the sake of art. Photographer Martin Klimas decided these fighting figures might look pretty cool if he could capture them in mid-shatter after being dropped from a height of about 3 meters. The resulting photos are well worth all the destruction, but I can't help wondering if some of these images are photoshopped because the figurines are breaking apart so perfectly. Maybe these photos are a testament to how well these figurines were made? One thing's for certain-all of the figures were harmed in the making of this series. Link  --via Petapixel

Charge Your Smartphone With The Power Of Your Breath



Just in time for the release of The Dark Knight Rises comes this stylish Bane mask, which is perfect for cosplayers and those who just want to channel their inner Ba....wait, what? This isn't a Bane mask, but rather a conceptual device that allows you to charge your iPhone with the power of breath? Hmmm....tell me more:
The AIRE mask is a concept that hails from the mind of Joao Paulo Lammoglia, where it will rely on the power of your breath, converting it to electricity thanks to tiny wind turbines. All you need to do is ensure the AIRE mask remains connected to an iOS-powered device, breathe as usual, and you are good to go.

Well, this may come in handy if you really need to play AngryBirds in a post apocalyptic setting where there is no access to electricity, or if you can't stop running long enough to charge your phone, but I have terribly bad breath at the moment so I'm not sure that this device would like being parked on my face!
