CCD Meets Sean Hamilton,... Live In Artist Alley @ The 2012 NY Comic Con

So in my travels down the aisles of the 2012 NY Comic Con I saw lots of very unique art. But few were able to execute a high concept like my man Sean Hamilton. Sean is an artist that mashes up classic pop culture characters with some of the dopest sneakers on the planet earth... and sometimes even out of this world (see the R2-D2 x Galaxy Foamposite mashup!). Lots of guys do Mario art, but who puts Mario into a pair of Air Jordan 11's to kick some Koopa Troopa ass? Leave that to my man Sean. Sean is a sneaker head like myself, with over three hundred pairs in his personal collection, and he is including all of the best Nike & the like has to offer with some of the most recognizable characters in your life. Michonne from Walking Dead checks in with some Air Jordan 1's on. Walter White gets the Wu Tang Wallabee Clarke treatment. Storm bust out some fresh Yeezy 2s. The possibilities never really end... You need to head over to Sean's page (click here) and order some prints asap, cause all of them are of a limited variety. You can also click after the jump to see the full video interview we recorded with Sean and my favorite pieces of his work. From one sneaker head to another, keep up the good work Sean... see you at the sneaker shop!!!

Back To The Skrillex

College Humor never fails in making me chuckle a bit, even if I hate the thing they use to make their joke. I am not a huge fan of Skrillex, the electronic music superstar who is one of the biggest live performers in music right now. But I can get behind a parody of the Enchantment of the Sea dance from Back to the Future featuring electronic music instead of a Chuck Berry song... great idea, executed well. Check out the video after the jump...



CollegeHumor's Favorite Funny Videos

'Parkinsons Katie... Really?'

I love searching the Web for original content, but every once and a while it is nice to gte a little help from your friends. Thanks to my main Jamaican brother from another mother Sam 'Big Game' James I have unearthed a little gem called 'After Hours' which airs on Cracked.com. It is a impromptu discussion group that consists of four friends who are eating at a diner and talking about some cool movie facts. The first episode is wonderful, in which they break down why Back to the Future is actually a truly horrifying film. The gang make some great points, and they will definitely make you crack a smile a few times when you think just how inappropriate and ridiculous the classic film actually is. Not to mention that the female contributor, Katie Millers, has a certain nerd chic thing going for her that makes me tingle in my nether regions. There are a ton of these videos over at Cracked, but this was the one that started it all. Pretty funny all the way around....

This Back To The Future Mod Makes me Want To Play Grand Theft Auto For The First Time In Years...

I haven't really played many games outside of the realm of super hero games like Ultimate Avengers & Batman or sports games in the past 5 years. But I do remember the good old days of Grand Theft Auto and just how crazy it could be. When you add in Marty McFly, the Delorean, and the ability to travel throughout time into the equation and you are in for one sweet treat. Check out the video that TL sent me after the jump and lets hope we finally get a Back To The Future game that we can get behind....

Dr. Mierzwiak Takes On Movie Posters With His Own Unique Style

I come across many artists who ply their wares on the Net, but the thing I love to do most is to then visit the artist's particular personal page and see what else they got cooking. After seeing Dr. Mierzwiak's cool ass Avengers poster over at /Film, I decided to see what else the dude had to offer. I stumbled over to his Deviant Art page and found a treasure trove of film posters that are phenomenal. You can see them for yourself by clicking here, but after the jump I will place a few of the ones that I like best....

'Beard Season' ...well...because it is! ...and Because it reminds me...of ME!

'Hero Time' "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this...flux capacitor!" Legend of Zelda 8-bit/Back to the Future link-

up?....Yes, please!

Star Wars/Super Mario mash-ups can never lose the race with me. And 'Banana Trap' is just that.

'Never Forget These Groceries' rekindles thought of one of my favorite Sesame Street skits.....  "Loaf of bread....container of milk....stick of butter..........loaf of bread....a container of milk.....and a stick of butter!" I was repeating that around the house for years after I first saw it!

'All Hands On Deck' reminded me of my brother, Cal from the frozen north's Canadian Cave of Cool. I like to think this is his dreaded enemy attacking one of the cave's many secret entrances...a secluded beach lighthouse. Good luck with all of THAT, buddy!

I'm pretty sure 'Diggin Anatomy' includes my favorite little (quite possibly dead) black boy from the the downloadable game 'Limbo'. If so...I heart this design. It's a push and shove in the winning direction.

Just caught 'Immortals' in theaters and this mythologically inspired t-shirt design, 'Ancient Matador', is probably based as much in the original Greek tale as the film is. Both are a bunch of bull...both are kick-ass, though!

I should have known that Jesus was a Trekkie. 'Peace & Love Earthlings' is the blasphemous design that phasers-in the truth.

Winnie Smalls does Biggie justice in this Disney/Rap inspired design...'Mo Honey Mo Problems'. He's got 99 problems and poor stitch-ing's one! (See what I did there, Mike?)

'Campfire' has some behemoths slow-roasting the Ghostbuster baddie by an open city fire. I like to think those 2 are the characters from the iconic video game 'Rampage'...and than that leads me to envision a playable Stay Pufft Marshmallow Man for said classic game. This could be this week's top design! in fact...it is!

Til next time tee-ny boppers!

Did Michael J Fox Show Up In His DeLorean???

Marty McFly is back in action... well, kinda. This past weekend was a charity event called "A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To A Cure For Parkinson's" that is held by Michael J Fox's foundation. At the event, Mike dusted off his old six string and busted out his best duck walk as he joined the band in playing Johnny B Goode. It might not have been as good as the Enchantment Under the Sea performance, but it is good to see the guy still got some moves. Click after the jump for some video from the evening.

The DeLorean Gets Some Swanky Re-Designs Over At Worth 1000

Worth 1000 is an excellent graphic/digital art website that sponsors many contests and challenges for artists to re-design or re-imagine iconic people, places, and things. The contest that caught my eye first (there are so many galleries!!!) was the contest concerning The DeLorean from the Back to the Future trilogy. Contestants were asked to re-imagine the classic dull grey exterior of the DeLorean to better reflect other popular cars and vehicles from the past. These are just wonderful.

First up......'The Zombiepuff Girls'......One of my favorite animated shows of the last generation...consumed by zombies. Ain't nuttin' wrong with that!

'2012'...is rapidly approaching. the end of the world via Mayan calendar, anyone? looks like 'Aliens' were involved as speculated. Where will you be when the Mayan calendar runs out of numerals? Hopefully, wearing THIS shirt will help.

Chucky decides 'I Wanna Be A real Boy' ...and Disney's Pinocchio pays the price. A perfect mash-up....with thrilling indications. I do NOT want to be Gepetto or a giant whale while this dummy is on duh loose.

I have an inherent love of ALL things 'Wizard of Oz' and  'Heart Seeker' tears at those particular heart strings....or shall I say is it RIPS at those heart strings with violent force. Can't wait to see what the Cowardly Lion and the Scarecrow have in horrific store for me after peeping this one. If I only had a haaaaaaaaaaart....Duh noive......sum brainz!

'Probing Time' speaks for it's goddamn self. Aliens are NOT your friends. They want to dip into your exit as soon as physically possible. Enjoy!

I feel a trilogy coming on. 'Parking Lot Part I' has parked some top of the line, A-List celebs in prime parking. Can You name 'em all? I'll start yaz off

1) 'Back to the Future's DeLorean......

'Back To My Evil Ways' makes it enjoyable to want to conquer the world. All that is good about world domination...on one tee....

'Mortal Kombat' means what it says and says what it means. The original video game should have been called 'Immortal Kombat' compared to this one  'cause this cast is as Mortal as they come. Of particular note is the floppy-teeted over-the-head t-shirt wearer...that comes in yellow and blue... just like Scorpion and Sub-Zero of the original series....same character...diff colors. 

Tees are for me.....are they still for you? Tune in next week, o' wearers of the shirt!
