Scott Heffernan, Archie McPhee designer and all-around awesome person, has just unveiled a project that lets the world in on a tremendous secret: his sons can fly. Meet The Flying Heffernan Brothers!

Clearly even the sky isn’t the limit for these awesome kids. If they meet Superman while they’re up there, we hope they get his autograph.

The Department of Awesome Parenting has been fantastically busy lately. We recently posted about an awesome dad named David LaFerriere who has been illustrating his kids’ sandwich bags since 2008. Now it’s time to meet an equally awesome mom!

Nina Levy is an artist and mom living in Brooklyn, NY and she has been creating awesome illustrations on her sons’ lunch napkins every day since 2007. Waterproof markers and a skilled hand transform humble white paper napkins into awesome scenes featuring superheroes (sometimes even canine superheroes), animals, silly cartoons, fantastic creatures, and sometimes even Nina’s sons themselves dressed as costumed crime fighters.

Nina has over 2,000 illustrated napkins to her name thus far and she’s still going strong. She documents these wonderful pieces over on her Daily Napkins blog.

Chinese artist and student of chemical engineering Gaikuo-Captain combines Manga artistry and photo manipulation to create awesome images that depict himself, armed only with his trusty drawing pen, interacting with his inked creations. According to GeekTyrant, this project began simply to make a personal profile photo, but evolved into the epic series where comic book characters appear to have crossed over into our own world.

Head over to GeekTyrant to view more of Gaikuo-Captain’s playful self-portraits.

Kirsty Childs has some seriously awesome makeup artistry skillz.

Comic Book Resources hosts an awesome on-going art mashup series entitled The Line It Is Drawn. Each week participants creatively re-imagine comic book characters to fit a different theme. 

For Week #128 the theme was Music Album Cover Homages and the resulting creations are absolutely brilliant. We’ve shared a few of our favourite reinterpreted covers above. Click here to view them all.

Artist Hillary White (previously featured here) has created an extensive and completely awesome series of paintings, entitled Pop Reinterpretation, for which she beautifully recreates painting by the Old Masters depicting a wide variety of pop culture icons in place of the original subjects.

R2-D2 becomes Francois-Xavier Fabre’s Portrait Of A Man, Kermit the Frog becomes Frans Hals’ Portrait of a Young Woman, Optimus Prime becomes Anthony Van Dyck’s Self Portrait With Sunflower, and so on.

Hillary has painted so many of these wonderful portraits, it’s an almost unbearably awesome accomplishment. If you like these even half as much as we do, check out the entire Pop Reinterpretation gallery to see the rest.
