majoras mask

Here’s a 1:1 scale Majora’s Mask that’s so beautiful you’re just going to want to stare at it all day long. It’s the work of artist Camille Young who created this replica for an upcoming art exhibit. It will be on display at the Grace & Ritual exhibit this Friday, May 10th in Los Angeles.

And yes, we are assured it is totally wearable. Plus, you can actually buy it. Interested parties should contact info [at] iam8bit.com for a quote.

back dress

Something tells me 15-year old art student Demi Barnes has a future as an artist and that she’ll make art that gets attention.

When she was assigned a school art project, Demi decided to make a dress made up of divorce papers as a way to “symbolize the fact that too many people rush into marriage and end up getting divorced.”

Before you ask, she didn’t use actual divorce papers (which, you have to admit would have made the project way more depressing) but she did grab a divorce form from the internet, fill it out and then make 1500 copies to make this matrimonial masterpiece.

The best part? She posted the pic on Facebook for friends and family and it’s gone viral, garnering over 46k likes on Facebook and over 130k on Tumblr.

I’m looking forward to seeing what she does next.

klimt costumes

Cosplayers Mai and Bri have taken cosplay to a classically artistic level with this cosplay of Gustav Klimt’s The Kiss.

The Kiss is one of my favorite pieces of art. If you’re not familiar with the painting, you can check it out after the break for comparison.

You know we like our Firefly tees around here, so when we saw these by forevermelody, we had to share.

Ever wondered what would happen if Disney Princesses weren’t quiiiiite so energetic and productive?

Artist Phillip Light did and came up with Disney Sloth Princesses.

I’m guessing Slotherella missed the midnight deadline….

This is not the face paint you get at your local fair. Christy Lewis of Daizy Design Face Painting creates works of art that totally transform your face. She does the traditional flowers and wings and sparkles, but she also turns people into dinosaurs, Hulk and ET.

These sketches show some beautiful, almost ethereal gowns and they were each modelled after a different Pokémon character. DeviantArtist Fritz Gebhardt is currently studying fashion design and made the illustrations after being inspired while playing Pokémon White. I would just love to see these designs come to life in a group cosplay.

Katrina Navarro loves comics, superheroes, and fashion. She combined her passions with these fantastic everyday outfit designs. I think these looks are a happy medium between wearing a full costume with the cape and tights and wearing a geeky t-shirt. Her outfits take the overall look and colors of various heroes and villains like Wonder Woman and Supergirl and make them comfortable and perfect for wearing just about anywhere.

Navarro said:

I soon started drawing up fashion sketches based off specific Superheroes and Villains with keeping things in mind: Clothes that a person can find in their closet or easily at a store with some to no alterations. When I have trouble finding a type of clothing that could work, I often scour magazines and online clothing stores for items.

I draw these sketches for fun of course, but I also draw these to share with people who also have a love for comics and fashion. The Superhero inspi sketches are for people to refer to just in case they want to closet cosplay as their favorite Superhero for the day. You don’t even have to totally replicate the clothing in the designs. It can simply be referenced, altered, switched, or whatever they like. That’s why I try to mention optional clothing that could also work in case someone doesn’t want to wear a skirt or heels.

This Boba Fett/Iron Man mash-up comes from the Stan Winston School of Character Arts. Students at the school learn all about character design and special effects, and as you can see by this example they’re an incredibly creative lot. Credit for painting this amazing Iron Bounty Hunter goes to Matthew J. Hideousboi.
