Baby Octopus and Other Cephalopods

here

Cephalopods are awesome. Not only are they one of the smartest creatures on earth, they're also kind of adorable. Especially a baby octopus- they're almost cuter than puppies. If you don't agree, it's only because you have yet to see any of these creatures...

Pretty freaking adorable. And since were on the subject of cephalopods, I thought I would add in a cartoon from one of my favorite sites xkcd

The Bare Minimum

Lately I've been drawn to all of the minimalists posters on the web. Minimalism, for any who don't know, is a style of art where the fundamental ideas and themes are portrayed through the simplest of details. Somehow the nerdiest subjects seem to develop into the best designs. So, without further ado, here are my favorites from the web.

First, I found the most amazing pokemon minimalist wallpapers here: http://pldh.net/gallery/the493. You need to go to the website itself to look at all 493 pokemon's individual poster, but here are a few to entice you to the link.

Next are the original trilogy Star Wars posters redone here buzzfeed. Although these may have slightly more details than the average minimalist design, they are clearly amazing works of art.

And, just to show what a real minimalist Star Wars poster would look like, I found these 

   

here at inspiredology which also had other fantastic minimalized movie posters.

I also found these wonderful whovian posters of some of the more famous Doctor Who villians at karmaorange.com

For all of the above there are a ton more minimalist designs if you follow the link.

And lastly, this awesome t-shirt that you can buy at threadless. Man + Iron = Ironman. Simple, yet amazing.

P.S. look out for a possible vintage poster post later this week
