You probably know Ralph Steadman as the guy who provided illustrations for many of Hunter S. Thompson's articles and books, but despite his uniquely sketchy style Ralph's works are not easily resigned to a specific age group or target audience.

Alongside his adult, and psychotically psychedelic, works are plenty of not-so-scary projects, like his award winning illustrations for Alice In Wonderland, his illustrations for good friend Bernard Stone’s Mouse series, and this oddball kiddie masterpiece-The Little Red Computer.

It’s the sad story of an oddball computer who can neither count nor seem to fit in with the rest of the computer clones, and may be the first children's book about computers ever published, since it first came out in 1969.

There’s something about Kanye West’s massive ego, and ridiculously overpublicized life with the head Kardashian, that makes you want to bust him down a few notches, which is probably why these ridiculous photoshopped images of Tiny Kanye look so darn right!

And when Kim’s done sharing the Hollywood spotlight with Mr. Kardashian West she can simply slip him into her Prada handbag until she requires his tiny services once again.

There are all kinds of skilled video editors, motion graphics artist and assorted digital video experts out there you can hire when you need a professional looking video created to promote your business, but the folks who made this hilariously bad promo vid aren't the video artists you're looking for...

Watch as they work their magic on some random video footage, and try to sell themselves by making an on-camera appearance that doesn’t really help their case.

It’s almost painful to watch at times, but how will we know how to make good videos if we don’t have examples of absolutely terrible videos to use as reference?

People are getting used to seeing strange things going down in cities these days, from flash mobs to human statues to buskers of all types trying to wow audiences and earn a buck, but no matter how desensitized you are seeing a seven foot tall orc walk into a shopping mall, complete with armor and a face only a mother orc could love, is bound to be a bit of a shock.

Luckily, the orc in this video isn’t actually one of Sauron's dark forces, he’s just an over seven foot tall guy named Olivier Richters decked out in an incredibly good costume, with equally amazing makeup by Rossanne Puck Aafjes, and when he hits a Dutch shopping mall looking all fierce and orcy the people react...mostly with nervous laughter!

There are plenty of bad digital photo manipulation projects out there, and people post photoshop disasters on a daily basis that remind us how bad it can be if you go a little too far with that clone stamp or eraser tool, but there are also plenty of digital artists out there using photoshop to create masterful manipulations for the enjoyment of us all.

Martin De Pasquale is one of these photoshop wizards working for the power of good, and with his digital art skills he’s able to bring his wildest dreams, and a few freaky nightmares, to life with lots of visual appeal.

He was even nice enough to post a behind-the-scenes video for us to watch and learn from, so future photoshop fails can be avoided, and budding digital artists can learn to use their powers for good instead of evil.

When you send your kids off to school you’re putting their young lives, and minds, in the hands of many different official school type folks, from teachers to district officials to security personnel, and these folks usually started working in the school system because they liked working with kids.

But, just like any position that comes with a bit of control over other human beings, there are those who take the job because they like being in charge, and sometimes because being in charge means making a lot more money.

Scandals abound in this article which reveals 6 Shockingly Evil Abuses of Power by School Officials, including a case where kids at a vocational school in Rhode Island were being put to work in a sweatshop making and bagging jewelry, and a case of misappropriated school lunch funds in eight California school districts which resulted in $170 million dollars being funneled into staff wages and catered school board meetings, while the kids found the quality of their school lunches lowered through no fault of their own.

It's enough to make you wanna home school your kids!

Homelessness is a problem affecting more and more people every day, and providing shelter for every homeless person, no matter how temporary, ends up costing some serious coin.

Enter a creative, albeit creepy, ad campaign put together by the JWT Amsterdam ad agency, who are using mannequin "piggy banks" to raise money for the homeless.

A Piggy Bank for the Homeless is a thought provoking campaign that has its heart in the right place, but there's something off-putting about inserting money into a mannequin piggy bank's head, especially one shaped like a little kid.

It gives new meaning to the expression "shut up and take my money!", but if it helps give Amsterdam's over 15,000 homeless residents hope for a future that lies indoors then I'm sure people will overcome their fear of mannequins and donate to such a good cause.

Nature can be terrifying, with all those claws and fangs out there in the wild just waiting to chomp down on our very chewable human skin, but nature has another trick up her sleeve that’s even more terrifying, and way more harmful, than mere tooth and nail.

That poisonous substance is known as venom, and critters create this foul chemical cocktail for a variety of reasons, whether to help defend themselves or hunt other animals.

Humans have a hate-fear relationship with poison, and have even created stories and historical events based around poison, all of which is explored in the American Museum of Natural History exhibition The Power of Poison, on display through August 10.

Here's a video starring exhibition curator/professor Mark Siddall explaining the various ways poison can be delivered to a victim:

Combining romantic elements with an enjoyable action movie is a tall order, but a few movies have managed to combine the two genres quite successfully in the past, Romancing the Stone and Mr. and Mrs. Smith immediately come to mind.

That which cannot be easily accomplished in a feature length motion picture can often work out just fine in a short film, for example this very entertaining rom-act-com called Epilogue, created by Dylan Allen for Amalgamated Picture Co.

It’s got the guns and the fun you come to expect from an action flick, and yet it manages to blend the romance into the story in an organic way that really makes you feel like you're watching the epilogue to an epic action movie.

Whether you believe in ghosts or not is irrelevant, at least according to the powers that be, because there are laws in place related to ghosts and hauntings that were created to help protect the living...from being ripped off by the living in the name of the afterlife.

For example- if you’re looking to buy a house in New York the realtor has to tell you if it’s haunted or lawsuits may be filed against them.

Looking to practice necromancy in San Francisco? You’d better have a fortune telling permit, or the spiritualist squad will storm your lair and shut you down, and don’t even think about hunting Bigfoot in Skamania County, Washington, or you may find yourself imprisoned for committing a felony!

Wax is a sculpting medium that can be used to create extremely realistic works, and as any visitor to one of the wax museums across the country know it’s the chosen medium for photorealistic sculpture, and wax works don’t come much better looking than the works of Bobby Causey.

Bobby is a self taught artist who has been creating incredibly realistic sculptures of movie characters like The Joker, Hellboy, and Jack Torrance from the Shining for private collectors and galleries for years, with finely painted detail, hand punched hair and just the right accessories to complete each character.

Bobby even created his own replica of the Batmobile from the 1995 movie Batman Forever, and it's every bit as spot on as his amazing sculptures.

Monster Rhapsody by Michael Tomes

When classic movie monsters aren't busy chewing on people, or terrorizing villagers, they like to get together and hit karaoke night at their neighborhood blood bar.
