Cartoon Network has decided to celebrate its 20th anniversary with an exhibition at Jett Gallery during San Diego Comic Con 2012.

Paint brush pushers such as John Hendrix, Jack Teagle and Brecht Vandenbroucke will be showing their love for the animated side of life with bright, colorful works starring cartoon stars of the small screen.

If you're heading to Comic Con be sure to stop by and say hi to these tooned out works of art!

The superheroes, and villains, from the Marvel Comics universe look extra super in fantasy garb.

They were digitally re-designed by DeviantARTist theDURRRRIAN, who's clearly pushing for his own line of action figures!

Hit the link and check out these fantastic character designs for yourself.

Wouldn't a fantasy-superhero hybrid make a great roleplaying game?!

This might be the most important video you'll ever see regarding dubstep music, and it proves that you're never too old to have good taste in music.

Watch as elders are subjected to Skrillex before sharing their opinions and point of view with the world.

Spoiler alert - some of them actually enjoy dubstep!

This astronomically awesome lamp shade casts the night sky across the ceiling, in case you can't go outside and see it all for yourself.

Created with the serious star gazer in mind, this piece was hand crafted by artist Anna Farkas and contains every major star, with a few thrown in for good measure and a constellation cheat sheet on the underside.

Sadly, this is an art piece and not something destined for production, so you'll just have to dream about the stars appearing on your ceiling via lampshade.

Or, better yet, grab a drill and an astronomy book and start drilling one of your own!

Chuck E. Cheese, beloved icon of animatronic rock band pizzatainment, has been killed and replaced with the ratty little rocker you see before you.

Childhood is now dead and rolling in it's little plastic coffin, and token flavored pizza will never taste the same again.

How are they going to make a mascot costume for this guy, are they gonna throw a ratty head on some hairy scenester who doesn't get enough sun?

Or are they just going to beam him into the establishments via hologram? Maybe he's starting a new band with Tupac...

Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with your computer monitor, the architects who designed Krzywy Domek, the Crooked House of Sopot, Poland are just messing with your head!

This crazy warped vision of modern architecture was created in 2004 as a unique and magical place to shop, and the fun doesn't stop when you walk through the door because the interior is just as kooky as the exterior.

Mike Judge is back, and this time he's directing the animated music video for Zac Brown Band's song The Wind.

The short is called "Robo-Redneck", so you know what you're in for-a kooky little cartoon full of Mike Judge's signature humor and a scifi spoof set in the deep south.

Git'er done, Robo-Redneck!

The delightful artwork found on these vintage Chinese firecracker labels almost makes the contents seem even more fun, but that's impossible right? More fun than fireworks, no way!

Now that I think about it some of these labels are a bit scary, so maybe the art is meant to serve as a warning against playing around with fireworks, like "be careful so you don't end up like the poor sap on this label."

Hit the link below to check out a massive Flickr gallery with over 300 beautiful examples of Chinese firecracker labels, they're really neat!

Alan Moore doesn't appear to be very cuddly in real life, despite the ursine beard.

Neil Gaiman seems a bit cuddlier, but his Jesus and Mary Chain style and dark wit cast him in a mysterious light.

But both guys look adorable, and quite cuddly, as puppets!

Let's play pretend time and imagine that their discussion about Before Watchmen is as nice as the one taking place in this video.

This interesting process video shows how artist and photographer Ben Heine creates his surreal Pencil Vs. Camera series, one torn sheet of paper and a subject at a time.

It's an interesting look at how Ben's videos and illustrations comes together, but the video makes the entire process look a bit too easy!

Kent Williams has long been one of my top ten favorite artists, and his uniquely styled paintings have graced both the covers of comic books and the walls of fine art galleries across the globe.

His latest series is full of surreal, dreamlike imagery surrounded by painterly strokework and a sort of deconstruction that makes the whole scene feel even more real.

Hit either of the links below if you want to see the stuff dreams are made of....

Let us close out the celebration of America's birthday with a compilation video containing explosive examples of stupid humans playing with fireworks.

A firework fail is best observed via video, mostly because you don't have to worry about taking someone to the hospital or cleaning up afterwards.

A brazen art thief recently stole Cartel de Don Juan Tenorio by Salvador Dali, valued at over $150k, from the Venus Over Manhattan Gallery in New York by distracting the guard and walking out with the piece in broad daylight. Then he sent it back.

The gallery put the word out about the thief, but didn't expect to get the work back, until they received an anonymous email saying it had been sent back, and it was delivered to the gallery later that week via Express Mail.

Why would someone do such a thing? Your guess is as good as mine...

This superpowered animated short is called Bizarro Classic, and it was created by Disney animator Robb Pratt as a follow up to his short Superman Classic.

I loved the style, the animation was top notch, I only wish this short was a bit longer because it left me wanting more!

If you want to get the feel of actually shooting a zombie and watching him spring a leak without harming living humans then check out these grisly bleeding zombie targets from Zombie Industries.

Created with a sense of realism, and a morbid curiosity, in mind these ugly little buggers are just begging to be pumped full of buckshot, and may be enough to deter a zombie attack if placed around your property.

Guaranteed to creep out your in-laws and most door-to-door salesmen.
