I stumbled upon these delicious pieces of artwork and simply had to share with you all. An incredibly talented artist has done some sexed-up renderings of Disney's princes and male hunks that simply have to be seen to be believed. Two of my favorites are above — I don't really remember Lilo & Stitch that well, but if David looked like this in it, I'm sure it would never leave my DVD player! And who wouldn't have enjoyed Milo in Atlantis more if he had been wearing a Speedo throughout? Click on over here to see the whole lot!

Here's a herd of horses ready for a stint on the silver screen...or maybe just a day at Cosplay Con. Check out these My Little Ponies who have been madeover to look like characters ranging from the cast of Star Wars to Heath Ledger's Joker.

I've had me a long, lazy vacation. So what better way to wake up from holiday reverie than with a giant ugly baby.
Sculptor Ron Mueck got his start designing models and puppets, including those in the movie Labyrinth. Since then, he's created a series of hyper-realistic human figures that manage to be both disturbing and beautiful.

Emmy Cicierga and Anthony "Nedroid" made some pretty fabulous sketches of just about all the important (and not-so-important) characters from Heroes. Don't miss Sylar's insane giant eyebrows, Linderman Claus, and at the very bottom, a completely adorable Hiro.
Universal Studios' upcoming Harry Potter theme park (a division of Islands of Adventure) quite frankly makes me want to be a kid again. At the very least it makes me want to visit a Renaissance fair. Slashfilm has some concept art depicting the Three Broomsticks and an overview of the "island," which is planned to open in late 2009.
It may just be the owl, the amber tones, and the wacky architecture, but looking at this gives me kind of a Labyrinth vibe. Which is a major plus.

I suppose a number of people would like to see George Lucas frozen in carbonite just to ensure a lack of any future Star Wars or Indiana Jones sequels, but those people will just have to play pretend and make do with this sculpture, photographed by Bonnie Burton of Starwars.com.

A London street artist who calls himself Slinkachu, and yet is not a Pokemon, has photographed snails with miniature graffiti painted on their shells. Artistic statement on man's subjugation of nature, or petty snail house vandalism? You be the judge!

Um.
I suppose that you can deduce for yourself what is going on here; Manbabies.com is a gallery of pictures of men and children whose heads have been switched. The effect isn't always convincing, but it's pretty consistently creepy.
Take a look at Takashi Murakami's mega-NSFW sculpture which sold for a whopping $15 million earlier this month. I'm detecting a vague resemblance to Cloud from Final Fantasy VII, but that's definitely one hell of a...um...victory pose.

Nedroid of Nedroid Dot Com wrote two hundred bad three-panel comic strips in less than twelve hours and posted them at Cracked Dot Com. So what did YOU do with the last twelve hours? Man, I'll tell you what I did, my roommate and I had rented a U-Haul pickup to move his stuff into our new place, so then me and my boyfriend drove it out to Wendy's for some midnight burgers, and then we went to make a grocery run but Stop n Shop had closed a half-hour earlier, while we were right across the street ordering our food! It was pretty funny.
But not as funny as these comic strips! I went ahead and tested all 200 of them for you and I can guarantee that they are one hundred percent funny. Well okay more like 95%. Look, it's still way funnier than The Wizard of Id, all right? Anyway enjoy.

I may really need to consider moving to San Francisco if these are the types of people I'd get to hang out with. Here are artist's renderings of real-life, rather interesting-looking people sighted in Frisco, focusing on their impeccable fashion sense.
I actually sort of want green highlights now. Or at least that tie.

Take a look, it's in a book.
By "it" I am of course referring to tentacles, butterflies, and explosions.
At least, that's what you'll find in this intriguing photo series, aptly titled "The Power of Books."
