La Muerta Lisa by kbilltv

Well designed cultural mash-up: Mona Lisa, propaganda poster style, the Mexican Dia de los Muertes, plus a hint of the kind of artwork Deadheads love (sorry for the pun: I was thinking about Grateful Dead fans!).
Great postcard from kBill TV, a store with novelty items that take a step beyond the usual!

Coffee addicts of the world, unite and grab the print with the pissed off character right now. You'll find it on Kenn Wislander's store, alongside many cartoon characters (like the notorious Pink-eyed Panda!).

You are The New Black

The New Black iPad case by surrealitee

It's time to present with the latest of my typography projects, the New Black design. What is the new black? According to trendsetters it's something new every season -then again, nothing ever becomes the "new" black, the... old one is doing fine, thank you very much!

The New Black destroyed shirt by surrealitee

According to me, it's a way to be sarcastic to the trendies and/or to signify that you (meaning: each individual) make personal choices that may well be the exact opposite of a new fad. Every one of us is the "new black" and none of us is, because we are not a herd and our tastes are diverse.

The New Black bag by surrealitee

I put that in text, in bold lettering combined with thin drawn lines -unfortunately they can't be seen in the small previews- in what I believe to be a striking but simple design. You can see the stuff it's applied to in the New Black section of Surreality store. Enjoy, and do tell me your opinion.

Grim Reaper, upgraded

Reaper 3.0 by ShazJustice
Browse Zazzle for another teezazzle.com

With strange aeons even death may get up-to-date. Shaz Justice sees to it and offers this ringer shirt with a darkly humorous cartoon of a new and improved Charon. The design belongs to her "Lighter side of Dark" series: gothic art that doesn't take itself too seriously and brings a smile to your face.
Her characters range from cute to hilarious -or both, as this Reaper 3.0 comes to prove. I just love his golden scull necklace, and I can't help but noticing the downsizing that took place, considering that the traditional Reaper was depicted as much taller. It looks like Death jumped on the "efficiency and sustainability" bandwagon!

Asses and baby-eating

"Ass magnet." Criminally safe for work. by thebloggess
Create a magnet with zazzle

I knew her as an amazing, hilarious blogger, not as a zazzler. After finding her store, aptly named The Bloggess, I realized that her surreal sarcasm extends to crazy designs as well. "Ass magnet" is an amazing idea and a must have for all you smart, perverted souls out there!

Also, I eat babies. by thebloggess
More Bloggess Mousepads

Have you ever felt the need for cute, baby-eating cats? Well, Jenny Lawson  tells it like it is:

This mousepad is awesome because people will see it and they'll be all "Aw, what a sweet kitty!" and then they'll read the bottom and they'll be all confused and they'll back out of your office without ever giving you whatever work they wanted you to do. The cat on this mousepad just saved you from work. Also, it eats babies.

For once, I'm speechless. I should add, though, that if you haven't visited her blog, The Bloggess (Like Mother Teresa, only better), you are missing out on the craziest, most enjoyable rumblings this side of the web!

Call me irresponsible

In constant denial? Refusing to accept how things really are? (how are they, really?) Childish or even hypocritical? Maybe just plain sarcastic?
This weird typography design is the latest addition to The Word series. Ink splashes and text in bright green that simply proposes "Let's pretend none of this ever happened".

Vita brevis

Memento Mori by Aegis_Strife
Browse Artsprojekt Posters

This beautiful, moody piece brings a new vigor to the ancient memento mori tradition -that is, artwork that reminds us of mortality and inspires us to have a more serious approach to our life and choices. The strange female figure seems to float while holding a skull and the light is simply amazing!
I found this great poster at Aegis Strife, the shop that showcases the art of Mario Sánchez Nevado (aka Aégis). Mario is a master of strong symbolism, grotesque concepts and exquisite skill.

Masochistic Artist by Aegis_Strife

Mixed techniques, rich textures and a splendid sense of color and light source make him a unique artist and illustrator. So don't be shy and cover your walls with his surreal imaginings: life's too short to resist such an eerie temptation!

The dead among us

MONROEVILLE 1978 Ringer (Grey/Black) by gritfx
Browse more ""Monroeville T-Shirts

For some, the '70s was the decade of the decline of the hippie culture, the rise of neoliberalism, the oil crisis, disco music or, maybe, the first PCs. For others it was the time when the recently deceased roamed the earth feeding on the flesh of the terrified living. Blame it on George A. Romero, the director that shaped the ghouls to come with his Night of the Living Dead in 1968 and, in 1978, created his most powerful zombie attack ever with the legendary Dawn of the Dead.
Fans are well-versed in the importance of the Monroeville Mall in the film and I'm sure they will appreciate this great ringer- shirt that pays homage to Romero's dark social comment. Being a fan myself, I was glad to discover this cool design from GritFX, a store with a keen eye for TV and Movie culture, strange humor and overall delicious weirdness!

Losing the one

The One by joeiurato
Browse Art Posters

Here is a simple, effective idea that conveys much: love, loss, irony,sadness and a wicked sense of humor. It's a fine poster from Joe Iurato, an artist with a talent for expressive stencil and spray work. I'm sure that a great sci-fi short story is hidden inside this image waiting to be put to words. Strong and inspiring stuff!
In Joe's site you may see more of his splendid work.

The raven and the kraken

Raven Playing the Victrola by crankcase
Browse Ghosts T-Shirts

There is a Poe-ish charm in this strange design, that I find irresistible. A raven plays a old Victrola phonograph producing ghosts, skulls and hearts (the tell-tale kind, I presume!). This is just a small taste of what is available at the Crankcase shop,  the place where Mark Beagle offers his art on t-shirts and hoodies. His work consists of a unique blend of modern and vintage elements, backed up by strong and surreal concepts.

Don't Wake the Kraken by crankcase
Design personalized t-shirts using zazzle

The "Don't wake the Kraken" is another one of my favorites -I can't resist this mixture of maritime beasties and piracy coolness! Mark combines humor, horror themes and weird Victorian imagery in a way that captures your imagination and makes you smile. Kudos, Mr.Beagle!

The latest addition to my own Temporal Disorder product category comes in a bottle. It's a small glass bottle (the kind used for china ink) containing pure, undiluted sin!
When it comes to being bad, Surreality's Bottle of Sin is the brew of choice.

Creepy sweet

Creeps can have a heart too, according to this funny design from Blonde Bomb Shelter. This quintessential image of lawlessness holds a red balloon, thus transforming a simple mousepad into a delightful paradox. All that and great colors too, in the gallery's trend of attitude, black humor and good taste.
[Mind you, this combination is hard to find in a world full of ugly "designs" consisting of bad typography and stupid jokes. Blonde Bomb Shelter is guaranteed to make a difference, offering humorous and well-designed stuff.]
