If you wear these caps, you'll be the coolest person on 'The Street'. I'm not sure if I'd ever wear one of these in public, but I totally want the on of Cookie Monster. These Sesame Street caps are a part of New Era's 59Fifty cap collection.

These are some really impressive Mortal Kombat drawings by Filipe Aguiar. He is not only a talented character artist, but also does freehand graffiti. There is a great likeness to the characters while also establishing his own style.

There's something about these photo manipulations I really like. A few of the things I like are the way the word dub was incorporated into the city skyline, the blending of the space like background with the woman's face, and the colors and texture of the background. I personally like the red one better, but they are both great. All the elements fit nicely together and make a great cohesive design.

Are you kidding me with this? If this is your first time seeing this, you are looking at a physical painting created with oil paints on a linen canvas not a photograph. This small image doesn't even do the painting justice. Click here to see a larger version of the painting. In order to make a painting this realistic, you have to have an amazing attention to detail and the patience and talent to re-create it. I'm in awe just looking at the steam created not to mention the water drops and water paths. This truly is an amazing piece of work. Take a look at Alyssa's portfolio to see more.
