Have a Happy New Years gang. be safe and party hard. We will be back posting more great pop culture related stuff for you guys in 2012. We are looking forward to another great year here at CCD, and I can't wait to take CCD to all new heights. Thank you to Cal from the Cave of Cool for the above invite. That picture is so true and perfect for our sarcastic humor... it actually sounds like the party I will probably be going to!!!
Talk about confusion. Although I am a huge fan of almost every Legend of Zelda game in the franchise's history, I have to admit that I have often been confused as to exactly WHEN in time certain games take place. The series jumps around quite a bit, with the two original games (Zelda and Adventures of Link) occurring last in time frame. So what does a real fan of Link and the gang really need to properly understand everything? How about and infographic from the new art book, Hyrule Historia, that chronicles everything that have ever occurred in the Zelda universe. Here you go... your welcome.

I love it when things come full circle. I find this happening more and more these days. I fist saw artists Sam Spratt's work when Rainn Wilson decided to adopt Spratt's drawing of him with a Bear Skin on his head as his own personal Twitter avatar. Imagine how cool that must have been for Spratt... so cool. But that's just the tip of the iceberg for Spratt. Directly out of college Spratt was tapped to be the ONLY illustrator for the Gawker Media empire (Gawker, Gizmodo, Kotaku, etc)... not to shabby. He has gone on to create some fantastic pieces of celebs, and even a Game Informer Magazine cover that is bananas!!! Oh, and I almost forgot... Spratt is from Brooklyn as well!!!! You know how much we love to support the local NYC artists. Thanks to Jeff & Edson for sending me a link to such a cool artist. You can click here to see his full online portfolio, and click after the jump to see some of my personal faves from Spratt. Trust me, these pieces will have your jaw hovering just above floor level...
After yesterday's discussion of his new film 'Bad Ass' here on CCD, I feel like we need even more Danny Trejo in our lives. This guy is such an awesome actor... his emotions are so real! Need proof? Click after the jump to see for yourself...
This one goes out to all my hardcore CCD'ers out there. The people who are on this site everyday, always leaving comments and pushing our site to crazy new heights. Here is a little customer appreciation gift... think of it as a post Christmas, pre New Years present from us to you. Kate Upton may be the hottest women on the planet. Here is 12 months worth of boobies to brighten your day...
I am of the opinion that the Harry Potter movie series is the best overall collection of related movies in the history of cinema. Yup, its true. Only The Lord Of The Rings trilogy comes close. Why, you ask? Because each and every film in the series is fantastic and grows the franchise. Almost all other series have missteps along the way... but not HP. Due to it's overwhelming awesomeness, you are going to get some weird re-imaginings of the cast courtesy of fans all across the world. Case in point: Holy Taco gathered up 25 weird and wacky Harry Potter pieces. You can click here to see the full list of weirdness, but after the jump I included my faves... Harry Potter in the form of Japanese Anime!!! Bring on the big eyes and tentacle rape... lets go!!!
If there was a tentacle moving up her leg, this would be perfect Japan-imation!
Wow... this guy will never live that pepper spraying incident down. This time we have Lt John being thrust into the world of Street Fighter, taking on blondie Ken. He also tangles with ole St Nick and mega mouth Michael Moore. I love these pieces by Pazero, especially the Injustice Mist that he carries into battle. Meme's never die... they multiply!!! Check out the pieces after the jump...
Great mash-up of the WB smash TV show Supernatural and everyone's favorite plumbers from Brooklyn, the Super Mario Brothers!!! I love the idea of getting a Winchester rifle as a power up item, and Boo has never looked so shook as he does in this piece. Perfectly don.

It's that time again... time to celebrate the greatest rap group in history. It's Wu Tang Wednesday motherfuckers!!! Today we get a very artistic mash-up from Alex Pardee and the Zero-Friends crew entitled "Dr. SeWUss & The Who Tang Clan". This is a phenomenal design right here. Dr. Suess mashed up with the WU? Ooohhhh, hell ya!!!! Although Pardee says that this print will never be made available for sale, he provides a link to a high res copy that would be suitable for print by clicking here. Check out Pardee's site... his shit is fire!!!
The trailer for Danny Trejo's new flick 'Bad Ass' has been making it's way around the Internet, and it is sparking all types of controversy. Is this a real movie? is this really gonna happen? Can a film possibly be THIS BAD ASS? Trejo looks like he is going even more over the top than he did in Machette... and that is WAY over the top. But on another note, I think this is exactly what Trejo should be doing. These movies are wacky, look like they are relatively inexpensive to make, and are putting Trejo in a starring role instead of being a supporting character. Considering the success of grindhouse-type fare such as Hobo With A Shotgun, Death Proof and Machete in recent years, I think this would go over gangbusters. Enter in Ron "Hellboy" Pearlman and Charles "Roc" Dutton into the mix and this movie looks unreal. What do you guys think? Click after the jump to view the full trailer and leave some comments on the bottom of the page...
***On A Side Note***
This is "Epic Beard Man", the viral video that seems to be the basis for Bad Ass. You have to watch this video. It will be the best 3 minutes and 21 seconds of your day. Sick!!!
We post a lot of artist's works from around the world. Many different countries have seen their work portrayed here on this site. To my knowledge, Flaviano is the first Italian artist to get some love here. Boy does he deserve it. Jeff sent me this tip about this guy and I was taken by his off kilter style and well thought out ideas for his re-imaginings of classic characters from the 80's. His "Masters of the Ghetto" series portrays some of the coolest characters from He-Man in distinctively different looks then how we are used to seeing them. The greats are all here (Beast Man, Mer Man, Skeletor, He Man, etc), but the highlights come from the obscure characters that Flaviano created (Roboto, Cyclone, and Tri Clops... yes please!!!). His next project is going to be based on the Transformers, so stay tuned. Click after the jump for some of my faves from his blog...
