Fresh Take: Hipster Potter

Dying is so mainstream... by Rotae

devianARTist Rotae created these hilarious hipster Harry Potter illustrations to celebrate the release of the last Harry Potter movie. Harry Potter meshes together with the whole hipster culture surprisingly well. Ron and Snape are particularly good.

Part of my new, "We go to a school in Scotland. You've probably never heard of it." series XDDD Yay hipster!Harry! XD

 

Normal pets are so mainstream by Rotae

A continuation of my new series: "We go to a school in Scotland... you've probably never heard of it"

Hipster!Ron Had a hard time deciding whether to go with the whole Scabbers/Peter thing or him going for the Chudley Cannons because it's so mainstream to support the winning team (see: his attack on Cho b/c she supported the Tornadoes - Hipster!Ron is so canon XD)

 

The triangle represents me... by Rotae

Part the Third of "We go to a school in Scotland... you've probably never heard of it" - Hipster!Hermione

So apparently hipsters have this thing where triangles represent "who they are" or something, idek XDDD ANYWAY. It seemed appropriate that I should have a reference to the Deathly Hallows, what with the triangle and all

[And now you know why I don't really draw animals... LOL]

I hated Potter before... by Rotae

Fourth in the "We go to a school in Scotland... you've probably never heard of it" series

Draco was difficult! I had a hard time coming up with something for him because he's never really been original because he's so traditional! LOL. He's a leader of boys, but a follower of men, so that didn't really work, until my good friend LadyDae suggested him hating Harry! OF COURSE. He did actually hate Harry before all the other kids hated him in CoS (Heir of Slytherin) and OotP (liar etc.) XD

My other good friend kiwifire and I both thought about having Draco as the anti-Hipster, "Being a hipster is so mainstream" XDDD And then I had to decide, and the former won out

I actually got to give Draco a hipster-ish kinda trait - the badge thing. So there's Potter Stinks (obv.), his prefect badge, his inquisitorial squad badge, his Weasley Is Our King badge and I made him a Death Eater badge too XDDD LMAO.

 

 

I don't follow Potions books.. by Rotae

Thanks to Finchburg for the wording on this one

I find young, Hipster!Snape actually quite the cutest thing I've ever seen XDDD I swear I didn't mean to do it, it just happened XDDD

In 5 days and 30 minutes I'll be seeing the last Harry Potter film O.o

 

Animals that can't kill you? by Rotae

Hagrid was surprisingly - and slightly horrifyingly - easy to hipsterise XDDD

Artist Andreas Englund

Swedish artist Andreas Englund has created a series of paintings that examine what might happen if supers weren’t granted the gift of eternal youth, as we’re accustomed to seeing. They’re funny, and sometimes sweet. In them, a beloved superhero on the wrong side of 40 just trying to get by in his twilight years. Via: Empty Kingdom

 

 

 

 

“Humor can be the carrier of messages that are otherwise hard to convey. For me, it liberates my thoughts and ideas from pretentiousness while at the same time it opens doors to new routes and angles.”

The dream of a graphic designer is to create meaningful designs that communicate on a visual, intellectual and emotional level. It is the joy of being creative and having someone pay you to do it. But the reality of that dream is that it often comes with the heavy price on the creative soul. There are endless meetings, client revisions, committee-mandated direction, project managers who are frustrated art directors, long hours and often little recognition. These are the daily and universal struggles of a graphic designer and this is my loving tribute to those in the design trenches. May the creative concept never be forgotten and the good fight always be fought.


If you are a graphic designer then this poster is for you, or if you have a friend or loved one that is a graphic designer this would be a great gift! Perfect for office, cubicle or home studio, show your solidarity!

Gallery: Zombie in Love

Zombies in Love by Scott C

Showing at the Gallery Nucleus September 3, 2011 - September 26, 2011

"Join us as we follow the lovable zombie, Mortimer, on his search for a date to the Cupid’s Ball. He tries wooing girls with worm-infested chocolates, bloody human hearts, and stunning diamond rings (with fingers still intact). He even reads up on love advice, serenades women on sidewalks, and takes ballroom dancing lessons, but nothing seems to impress the ladies. When Mortimer places an ad in the newspaper in the hopes of finding a sweetheart, will he finally meet the love of his afterlife?

Find out as Nucleus presents an exhibition of charming illustrations straight from Scott C’s forthcoming children’s book, Zombie in Love, written by bestselling author Kelly DiPucchio. The featured artwork from the book’s pages, old favorites from Scott C’s previous Nucleus shows, and copies of the book will all be available for purchase."

 

Short Film: Oktapodi

Oktapodi by Julien Bocabeille, François-Xavier Chanioux

In Oktapodi, these two cuties help each other escape the clutches of a tyrannical restaurant cook. But, even once they are out of the kitchen, their battle to stay together is not over.

Projects: Question Blocks

I built a Question Block and hung it up outside.

Seems like everybody knows what to do with one of these things.

You know what would have made this little social experiment perfect? Setting some of those foil-wrapped chocolate coins on top of that cube. Via: Reddit
