“You took my name” is a series of paintings that strip famous logos back to their basic graphic forms. This has created pieces that are artworks in their own right.
Many of these brands have become ingrained in people’s minds due to constant exposure to them. It’s not hard to see others in this series. Hopefully they add more soon, in addition to pieces that the public can purchase.
New Stamps Celebrate Roald Dahl
Roald Dahl’s work is being celebrated in a set of special stamps.
The set of six Royal Mail stamps, which also depict the work of illustrator Quentin Blake whose drawings are synonymous with Dahl’s stories, feature six of the author’s best-loved novels.
One of Dahl’s most famous tales, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, appears with a beaming Charlie Bucket on the 46p first-class stamp.

This is awesome - Jesse Eisemann, who illustrates and writes for CollegeHumor and Dorkly.com, created an interactive map of New York City based on the style of Super Mario World!
My favorite bits are the ghosts floating over old landmark places that are either graveyards or presumably haunted by their former occupants. Also, the mario bridge representation of a real bridge is pretty cool.
Oh, and that Mario at the top? He’s Hipster Mario in Jortveralls.
You can explore the interactive version here.
Child’s Own Studio allows children to do bring their drawings to life by handcrafting unique stuffed toys out of their doodles. The real question is, will they let you create one of your own? If so, I can’t wait to get my plush iPhone 5.
It just makes sense.

This is so amazing. I’m glad this exists. More artists need to reinterpret comic book covers of my youth. Maybe someone will cover some of the other non A-list superhero teams I used to read when I was younger: West Coast Avengers, Excalibur, X-Force, and… The New Warriors. No, I’m not ashamed of them. I was a hipster comic book nerd because I liked the teams that weren’t popular before anyone knew about them.
