Kickstarter: Martian Predator

Conspiracy theorists claim to have spotted an “alien soldier” on images returned from the Mars Curiosity Rover. Artist Andy Kurovets studied the infamous photograph, looking at figure lines, proportions, details and design 3d model. And based on that analysis, developed the sculpture based on the image called Martian Predator. Now, he’s looking for funding on Kickstarter in order to produce the figure in resin.

Lover Boy by Okedoki

So this is just so confusing on so many different levels. The figure is named Lover Boy by the artist Okedoki. He’s basically a black Squidward (from SpongeBob SquarePants) wearing what appears to be Pee-wee Herman’s attire, except a red bow-tie is swapped out for a red heart on his lapel.
