    Ass Kicking Presidential Portraits Get The Job Done

    (image)

    New Presidential Seal

    Everyone in the United States knows that one of the reasons we have become one of the most powerful nations to inhabit the earth in all of history is because we have fantastic presidential leaders. What is not known was why exactly they are badass leaders. Was it because they were awesome diplomats? Or maybe because they bartered peace between 2 warring countries. No, it was because they kicked ass and took names.

    Jason Heuser is an American artist from San Francisco who decided to put his patriotism and love for history into these amazing prints. He decided to show the true history of some of our most beloved Presidents. All of this artwork is also available to buy on his Etsy page for around $25. Check out his Deviant Art page too for more great awesomeness.

    You know, I do a lot of these types of posts, but I cannot remember one that I have been more excited to do. I was nearly giddy while writing this up. From Kennedy’s robot unicorn on the moon, to Reagan’s uzi that says Gipper on the side, I was laughing the entire time I wrote this. I really hope Jason is able to do more of these pieces. Oh, and I also threw in a print of how Ben Franklin really discovered electricity….he took it from Zues’ cold dead hands.

    “‘Mr. Gorbachev, I tore down that wall!’ The famous speech President Ronald Reagan gave after he destroyed the Berlin wall. He rode he most trusty steed into battle…a raptor which he had the CIA clone for such an occasion. Practice Reaganomics today and buy this print to show your love for ‘merica!”

    “George Washington was known for many things…being a great general, having wooden dentures (okay they weren’t really wooden, cutting down the cherry tree, and being nicknamed the ‘Destroyer of Villages.’ But what many don’t know is he was an avid zombie hunter. This is a picture of one of his many adventures out into the night to give some ‘Liberty and Justice to all.’”

    Abe Lincoln Riding a Grizzly

    “If history could only be this awesome, Abe Lincoln riding the worlds most awesome bear, the Grizzly. He’s also carrying the worlds most awesome gun the M16. Enjoy this piece of historic and accurate work.”

    John F. Kennedy Alien Hunter

    “In 1963 after the alleged JFK assassination, John F. Kennedy was sent the moon to be the first man to walk on the moon. This was kept secret to us, and we were made to believe he was assassinated on November 22nd, 1963. Upon arrival his mission was to clear the moon of any alien life to make future moon landings easy and safe. He lived on the moon for 26 years hunting and slaying aliens until NASA lost communication….his death has still not been confirmed however and many believe hes still murdering aliens today.”

    Teddy Roosevelt VS. Bigfoot

    (image)

    “He’s one of America’s most bad-ass presidents….Teddy Roosevelt. Not only did Teddy Roosevelt give a speech with a bullet in his chest, but what many people don’t know is he slaughtered many bigfoot in his time…this is a picture of one of those events.”

    Thomas Jefferson Vs Gorilla

    (image)

    “Thomas Jefferson was never much of a warrior history tells us, but yet again history is wrong. This is an image of one of the many attempts by Jefferson to battle all the manliest animals on earth while trying to teach them the ways of America.”

    FDR Battle Master

    (image)

    “FDR, arguable one of the best presidents of all time. Known for his program “The New Deal” and other such accomplishments, what is not not known is his many victories in battle against many different types of enemies. FDR possessed great power and technology as can be seen from his transforming wheel chair in which he slayed many foes.”

    Andrew Jackson Alien Slayer

    “In the year 2055 the world was invaded, humanity sat on the brink of destruction the world governments united and sent agents back in time to get the best general we’d ever known…Andrew Jackson and throughout his life he did a lot of cool shit, dueled people…a lot which is how he ended up with a musket ball in his chest pretty much exactly like Tony Stark. Went to war, gambled, etc, etc . This is a war portrait as he stands victorious in yet another battle.”

    Ben Franklin VS. Zeus

    (image)

    “In 1752 before Ben Franklin invented pizza, Gameboy, the iPad2 or Mexican food, he was contemplating how to conquer electricity. Being the genius he was he decided go get it at its source, this being Zeus. Strapping himself to a kite, and equipping some homemade lightning claws he ascended through the clouds and into the realm of the Gods to battle it out with Zeus. This is a painting capturing the exact moment the battle started.”

  • EGOS Illustrated Radness Pairs Up For Superhero Fun

    (image)

    The fight between good and evil is a battle that has been raging since the beginning of time. God fighting Lucifer and casting him down to hell, The Olympians fighting the Titans, the Rebellion fighting the Empire. These are age old battles that define us as human beings.

    Artist Adam Limbert from the United States decided to put some of the greatest adversaries (and one set of friends) on the same pice of art work together to show how close they really are. Even though they are mortal enemies. He calls it his EGOS project. This is what he had to say about his project:

    “My current EGOS project is just my illustrated way of giving back the cultural radness that I grew up with and that helped shape the person and artist I am today. It’s my “thank you” to all the artists and illustrators that gave me all the nerdy art stuff I love.”

    Check out Adam’s Deviant Art page to see some other cool stuff including art pieces featuring Optimus Prime and Lion-O.

    Superman vs. Lex Luthor

    (image)

    “The ultimate brain vs brawn battle. But if Superman is super strong, super fast, has super flight and is super invincible, why isn’t he super smart. Is his brain the only thing unaffected by earth’s yellow sun?”

    Batman vs. Joker

    (image)

    “The Batman and his forever rival, the Clown Prince of Crime.”

    Professor X vs Magneto

    (image)

    “Sometimes friends make the greatest enemies.”

    He-Man vs. Skeletor

  • Nintendo 3Ms Art Pieces Save The Day

    Mario

    Nintendo is know for a lot of things, but the one thing they are really famous for is introducing us to some of the most iconic characters in the video game universe. Donkey Kong, Simon Belmont, Link, Kirby. But nearly no 3 characters are more well known than the protagonists from Super Mario Bros., Mega Man, and Metroid.

    Using a “vector style,” Adam Limbert from the United States has created a series he has titled the 3Ms of Nintendo. These art pieces focus on our favorite plumber, the Blue Bomber, and the heroine that makes us all blush. Check out his Deviant Art page for more cool pieces like some great Ninja Turtle ones.

  • The Avengers On Parade Pays Respect To Maurice Sendak

    The Avengers On Parade Pays Respect To Maurice Sendak

    With the unfortunate death of Maurice Sendak, the Internet has been busy coming up with different ways to pay their respects to the groundbreaking children’s author, whose most famous work, Where the Wild Things, lives on in the hearts and minds of the young and old alike. Whether it’s featuring the video of Christopher Walken reading Sendak’s unforgettable book or impressive drawings from Andy Marlette, Sendak’s passing was given the proper respect.

    All that being said, perhaps the most impressive piece comes from Deviant Art member, AgarthanGuide, who, by combining The Avengers with Sendak’s Wild Things, you get this incredible homage to the great children’s author. I would recommend clicking the image for its full-size version, because some things are better appreciated in their original state:

    (image)

    The piece is loving called “Avengers on Parade,” and the artist who created it left something of a thank you note to Sendak:

    Two things on my mind today-

    RIP Maurice Sendak.

    Yay Avengers.

    Okay – I put together some wallpapers using the original – I tried to make them as big as possible and cover the major aspect ratios. You can download them here. Enjoy!

    Also- I don’t have any plans to print it. The Avengers don’t belong to me, I feel like I got lucky, and I would rather share the nostalgia, you know? … Tom Hiddleston and Joe Hill both saw fit to tweet this. I just can’t…

    This is so lovely. I’m going to get a wall, just to hang this on it: http://t.co/Gv0wwV8R #WhereTheWildAvengersAre(image) 4 hours ago via TweetDeck ·  Reply ·  Retweet ·  Favorite · powered by @socialditto

    (Hewitt’s tweet was retweeted by Hiddleston)

    In case you’re unaware, Tom Hiddleston is the actor who played Loki in the recently-released Avengers movie. Joe Hill is Stephen King’s son, and is an accomplished author in his own right. As for the awesome creation, like I said, if you don’t view “Avengers on Parade” in its full size, you’re only cheating yourself.
