It’s Time To Say Goodbye to Guest Illustrator Chuck “No Pattern” Anderson

Barely a month has passed since we welcomed our latest guest illustrator, Chuck Anderson, and now it’s already time to say goodbye. We definitely enjoyed having Chuck join us for a while and hope you did as well. https://gizmodo.com/meet-gizmodos-latest-guest-artist-chuck-no-pattern-a-5611373 Here are some of the posts Chuck illustrated during his time with Gizmodo: The Secret Histories…

Meet Our Contributing Illustrator: Sam Spratt

You might’ve noticed some of Sam Spratt’s photoshops, drawings, and illustrations on recent posts already, but we wanted to take a moment to officially introduce him to you. He’s our contributing illustrator and will be sticking around for a while. Sam Spratt is someone who has doodled and scribbled for a majority of his life,…

Ultrarealistic Portraits Made of Electronic Junk

Artist Jason Mecier makes realistic posters using all kinds of recycled junk. Like this one of Conan O’Brien, made with remote controls, electronic boards, cellphones and cables. I like Lady GaGa made of trash because, well, because she’s trash. [Jason Mecier via 1800recycling]

The Artist of the Cyber Future

Isn’t she beautiful in an eerie way? This lady sprang from the mind of Benedict Campbell, a digital artist with a flair for capturing the extraordinary potential future. You can see more of Campbell’s work on his website, but here are some of my favorites from his Cyber Future collection: Stunning, no? Campbell is described…

Russian Artists Create Man-Sized, Melted, Working iPod

The ‘WowPod’ might not the be first oversized, semi-functioning iPod, but it’s probably the strangest. Perhaps taking cues from Salvador Dali (The Persistence of Flash Memory? Anyone? Sorry?), Aristarkh Chernyshev and Alexei Shulgi have not just blown up and distorted an iPod — they’ve thrown in some functionality. Their site is low on details, but…

Klaatu Varata Studios Produces Steampunk Creations With Back Stories

For those of you who enjoy steampunk, story telling and handmade creations, I present to you Klaatu Varata Studios, the workshop of Arkansas artist Dillon Chandler. Check out his Solarian Ray Gun or the Geldar Light Infantry Robot, both of which come with the back story of the Kelevion Universe and the civil war which…

Jackson Pollock’s Hi-Fi Was Paint-Splattered Too, Played Loud

Over at The Audiophiliac they’re running a story about a visit to the house where abstract painter Jackson Pollock used to live with wife Lee Krasner. Apparently the guy had a pretty cool hi-fi: a Bogun DB-20 tube amp, a Crown turntable and speakers built into a stairwell. Audiophiliac’s Steve notes that the door holding…

Awesome DS Digital Sketchbook App Turns You Into Pocket Picasso (If You Don’t Suck at Drawing)

Nintendo might be the best videogame company on earth, but occasionally they waste some real opportunities. Like Mario Paint on the DS. It’s pleading for it. But Wired’s How-To Wiki shows us how to turn it into a sweet digital sketchbook in the meantime with Colors. All you need to install it is a DS-compatible…

The Secret Interior of a Vogon Captain’s Quarters

The other day we told you about the artwork created specifically for an online version of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy game that was created for the new BBC editions of the Hitchhiker’s radio drama that came out a few years ago. This image, featuring a cartoony version of the Vogon Captain’s quarters, was…

Laurie Anderson’s Petrochemical Arms

One of the weirdest moments in pop music has to be the brief, early-1980s rise to fame of radical alterna-electro-artist Laurie Anderson. Her eight-and-a-half minute song “O Superman” (whose complete video you can see here) caught on in England and then spread to the U.S. With her androgynously-modded voice, multi-media performance style, and mad-scientist hair,…

Not A Bad Place To Crash a Spaceship

It’s not clear if the two travelers in this concept art have crashed into this glowing cavern, or if that’s simply their parking place. Maybe there’s a swarm of flesh-peeling mites just out of view, but it looks like a good place for an adventure to us. French artist Mathias Verhasselt works as a concept…

Stackable City Of the Oddworld Dead

In the series of Oddworld video games, where you play the messianic, farting mudokon Abe, you come across a city of the dead called Necrum. It’s a very creepy place, as you can see from this artwork, and looks like a landscaper’s nightmare. Just scaling those palm tree tower things along would be fairly death-defying,…

A Beautiful Sewer System

When a conceptual artist imagines a futuristic sewer system, you’d expect something that would give Dr. Seuss nightmares. Not so in this glance down a sewer corridor from artist Ben Procter. It looks spartan, utilitarian, orderly, and just plain gorgeous. It’s enough to make you want to dive underground and look for crawly aliens in…

Yearning For Serene Flying Paddleboats

A lot of sci fi concept art has a tendency to be spiky and sharp looking, and you’ll usually see enough spires and knife-edged towers to populate an entire world with if you flip through a book of book of alien artwork. That’s why artist Ryan Church’s floating paddleboat here looks serene and peaceful. You…

Underground Munchkin Cavern in Deconstructed Oz

Artist, designer, and futurist Mark Goerner reimagined The Wizard of Oz long before Tin Man started rattling the airwaves and ratings on the Sci Fi Channel. This conceptual painting shows the cavern where the subterranean Munchkins dwell. It looks like a fairly lonely place with some sort of sleeping pods hanging from the ceiling by…

Rumor Smashed: Meizu Didn’t Rip Off Artist For Phone Renders

Despite making a Meizu phone that looks way too close to the iPhone to be a coincidence, the latest news about Meizu ripping off an artist to pimp their work is off-base. It’s true that someone placed Deviant Art artist Lithium Picnic’s photo onto a Meizu M8, but it turns out that the image was…

Nail Artist Nails da Vinci (with Nails)

Where others use watercolors, one man uses metal. This artist (if you know his name, hit the comments) re-creates masterpieces using nothing but nails. The process appears to utilize a computer grid to map dots onto plyboard—we’re betting a projector and pencil is used—after which the artist nails thousands of metallic dots onto his “canvas.”…

Elvis on a Pinhead

How many Elvises can dance on the head of a pin? Just one, and only if you’re micro-miniaturist Willard Wegan, a British artist who’s been credited with creating the smallest works of art on earth. To create these micro-sculptures, there’s not a whole lot of shakin’ going on, either—the guy goes to great lengths to…
