Alana McCarthy is an illustrator who makes these awesome images of pets with robots and dressed as superheroes and ninjas. It’s very funny, and awfully cute to see a little chihuahua as Mr. Spock. Who said animals couldn’t be geeky too?

If you’ve been on Facebook lately you’ve probably noticed comic strips like the one above taking over your news feed. They are from a Facebook app called Bitstrips. You create your avatar by choosing from a variety of different looks such as face, hair, clothes, and even make-up. Once your avatar is complete you can start making your comics, using them as status updates and greeting cards. You can also add your friend’s avatars that they have made and make silly comics. There are many other features in the app, like changing wording, positions, create thought bubbles and many more.
It may seem like a new thing, but Bitstrips was actually created in 2012, and the reason for it’s recent popularity is because they updated it to be an iPhone app as well.
I think the avatars have a great deal of detail and look just like the people who create them. It’s a fun way to update your status and talk to your friends on Facebook, so check it out if you haven’t already right here at Bitstrips.

Since the early days of Super Mario Bros we have been squashing Goombas with out any consideration as to what their story is. In this awesome video from pipocaVFX, we see life from a Goomba’s perspective and Mario doesn’t quite seem like the “superhero” we are used to.
