DeviantArt user Heckthor has foretold the death of all mankind. Do you see that picture down there? It’s a god forsaken shark AND t-rex ALL IN ONE! I’m not sure you all understand the gravity of the situation my friends. What are you going to do when this mother comes after you and wants to make you it’s bitch, hmm? Run? Ha, the t-rex can run up to 40 MPH at top speed. You just died. Oh, you’re going to hop in a speed boat instead? Obviously, since its mechanical, you’re safe in the water. Then BAM, you’re in two pieces feeding the fishes since a standard great white shark can swim over 25 MPH, much faster than you can get that little boat out of port. Those red eyes are fitting. Click the source for all of his posted works, which some, as I initially imagined, are equally scary. Click the image for a full size view if you think your heart can take it. We’re all doomed.

This has actually been floating around the web for awhile now, but we found these again after seeing them featured on another website (source), downloaded the ones we thought were hilarious, and here they be. If you’ve never seen them before, hit the jump for a ton more. The premise is simple; Take some popular Garfield comics, strip out Garfield, and show just how crazy and manically depressed John Arbuckle is. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and maybe even get a little weirded out. Just the thing for the start of the week.

Gediminas’ vital statics are scarce (he’s so mysterious!), however as his website says, he was born in Panevezys, Lithuania. The 27 year old artist attended the Vilnius Academy of Art where he completed his studies, and likes snowboarding. Oh, and did we mention he makes some super awesome surreal art? He recently did work (and was selected as the first place winner) for the NVart contest for the image below.

The NVart contest is a quarterly held art competition sponsored by nVidia to promote creativity. Pranckevicius’ image below, and the contest itself, was an invitation to recreate their most imaginative fantasies in the style of master surrealist Jacek Yerka. Click the source to visit his website and view his other works, which are equally great.

It’s not often that we see a great and innovative idea that does not simply advertise a company or product these days. Public service announcements are usually low funded and low budget, mainly because they are usually only supplemented by charitable organizations and non-profits. However, low budget does not need to equal low creativity. A rented medical truck, a green screen, and a few hours of video editing can do wonders when you are backed by a genius premise. This video, which uses a previously shot green screen scene of a simulated growing aggression towards public service workers in the Netherlands and surrounding countries, overlays to a live shot of outside. The excerpt from the YouTube author explains further.

Public service employees in the Netherlands face aggression and violence on the streets more and more often. Onlookers unfortunately do not intervene often enough when they encounter a situation like this. A live interactive billboard in Amsterdam and Rotterdam is used to place people in a similar situation witch confronts them with their inactivity.

A native to Toronto, Canada, artist Ben Tour has a love for illustration (he got just such a degree from Sheridan College in Ontario), watercolor, and Canadian beer. His excellent use of colors and grunge style add a urban decay sort of depth to his work. Clicky the title for quite a few more of his collection, and check out his site for oodles more.

This short film directed by Patrick Jean is pretty awesome. For those who grew up in the time of Donkey Kong, Tetris, Pong, and Space Invaders, you’ll love the nostalgia feel to it. For you young kids, just sit there and watch it. Your attention span is probably long enough to get you into the 20-30 second mark. The Tetris event is by far my favorite.

Ever been to a doctors office when you were a kid? Of course you did, because you insisted on going outside without your safety helmet on, didn’t you? You’re not like the other kids, Jimmy. You have to be more careful because you’re “special”. Wait, where was I going with this? Oh, yes.. pain chart. So when you were a kid a doctor probably showed you the chart below, asked you what number represented your pain, and then acted accordingly to give you some of those experimental drugs, and not the awesome ones, the ones that made you have flashbacks about the time when Susan stole your cupcake near the sand lot. That bitch. I propose a new pain chart, one that I think better represents how a your little tyke might feel. Take note doctors, this is your new pain chart. Print it out, post it up.

Hit the jump for the new charts.

Lior Arditi is an artist out of Rehovot, Israel who makes some of the best stylized CG images we’ve seen. They are strangely familiar, and his sense of atmosphere and mood are fantastic. Here’s what he had to say about his latest project for Erroca Eye Wear:

Hello guys. I wanted to share the latest project I had the pleasure designing and art-directing, here at JCS studio. the Erroca Eye Wear Commercial.

Though the concept is controversial- pro global warming, and destruction of earth & ozone layer, the design process of a post apocalyptic environment was a lot of fun.

Since don’t consider myself to be much of a Matt painter, the whole process was a big challenge for me. the fact that we were given only two and a half weeks to put it all together according to the off-line editing, didn’t made life easier.

Luckily, I was given an artistic freedom from the director & client, so I didn’t get any sticks in my wheels along the way. the only barrier standing between me and the finish line were my skills.

Most of the designs was projected over a 3D models, and was composed using after affect. the animated parts- trees, bicycles using Maya, fire & particles simulations using FumeFX.

A link to the final product, VFX Breakdown, along with the credits list of the talented dudes that made this happen, can be found here: http://vimeo.com/10185678

The Canadian Arctic: Barren, frightening, and cold as all hell. Are we still talking about Canada or one of my ex-girlfriend? Zing! Tropicana, the orange juice company, went to some town in the Canadian Arctic who went without seeing the sun in over 31 days (because a wizard cast a magical sorcery spell on them I’d imagine) and made their own, because Tropicana is trying to be all up in god’s business. You tell ‘em Tropicana, you show that god who’s boss (It’s Tony Danza). You hear me up there? God won’t make it sunny for those chilly kids, Tropicana will show up and give your ass some magical brightly lit balls. You heard me.

Today at 7 PM MST (Mountain Standard Time), a funeral will be held in Colorado for Internet Explorer 6. Here is an excerpt from the site and gives details how this moment came to be:

You see, unknown to many people, like the elderly, and.. nuns, IE6 is a horrible piece of software. Anti-aliasing bugs, severe CSS and div issues, along with the fact it was utter hell to try and supplement code when using standardized W3C compliant tags made this a blunder for Microsoft (as if they don’t do this daily anyway). I shall not miss you, IE6. May you burn in hell for eternity.
