Twaggies: Your Tweets, Illustrated

By prawn1 Tuesday August 24, 2010

We love pictures here on Onelargeprawn. They really are worth a thousand words, but in this this case it’s more like 140 characters. Twaggies is a creative little project that works like a visual tweet generator. Team Twaggies takes oddball tweets from random folk from the Twitterverse and turns them into a humourous comic panel. Have a look at some of the illustrations after the jump.

If you enjoyed Ashleigh Brilliant’s pot-shots, chances are you might like charming art by Spanish illustrator Alex Noriega. On his sketch blog, Stuff No One Told Me (but I have to post it here or aliens will kill me), Noriega takes a humorous look at some of life’s truths.

If you can speak Spanish, I’m so hating on your right now. I’ve just come across the hilarious works of Chilean cartoonist Alberto Montt, 934 comics in total, all in bloody Spanish. However Montt has recently started translating some of his newer creations to English and I’ve picked a couple of my favourites to show you. Have a look at them after the jump.

Springfield Punx: Pop Culture, Simpsonized

You might recall an earlier post on the Simpsonized characters from the hit TV show, LOST. Springfield Punx is an on-going side project of artist Dean Fraser and it’s been a while since we’ve taken a look at his Simpsonized versions of popular characters from comics, video games, TV, and film. Have a look at Fraser’s newest creations after the jump.

Pot-Shots: Wit and Wisdom From Ashleigh Brilliant

Ashleigh Brilliant (real name) is a 77-year-old author/philosopher/cartoonist from London, UK. He has spent almost 40 years of this life on a project called Pot-Shots. Also known as Brilliant Thoughts, he tries to put down his thoughts in 17 words or less. He hopes that his epigrams will have a profound effect and may “hit you in your heart, brain, or funny bone – or perhaps all three.”

See a couple of pot-shots after the jump.

Fox vs Rooster

A fox and a rooster come upon a field full of champagne bottles and start goofing around. It’s all fun and games until someone loses and eye or gets popped on the testicles.

POP was directed by Australian-based animator Bernard Derriman for the 50th anniversary of the Annecy International Animated Film Festival.

Lucy Furr’s Friday Smackdown

Yes here it is at last…I know that loyal readers (all 3 of you) have been waiting with baited breath all day for my Friday Smackdown. I apologise for the tardiness of this piece – no excuses will be given (except to say that I spent a significant amount of time panicking and driving round in circles in Athlone this morning) but I do apologise profusely.

Anyhoo let’s get down to the dirty business of superheroes. This was a very difficult choice to make, and I have tried my damnedest to consider all aspects of the characters (not just the movies lazybones).

Batman SUCKS

I know he’s a detective and a crime fighter, has pretty successfully kept his superhero identity a secret and probably has a greater chance of success trying to make his home town a safer place than Iron Man has of bringing peace to an entire planet. But seriously all that dark tortured brooding, wearing underpants on the outside, the fact that he’ll never go in for the kill, he let the girl die, and his rather dodgy relationship with Robin make him suck in my eyes. However I do feel bad about his folks going out like they did (if they didn’t maybe he’d have turned out more like Iron man?)

Iron Man ROCKS

Gotta love that machismo, and the suite, and the awesome techno gadgets, and the flying, and the earnest desire to create world peace, and the fact that he wears his underpants on the inside where they belong. Then again I suppose the womanising and the ego are a bit over the top some of the time.

I know I’m going to get a whole lotta smacks myself for this one, but I’m ready so bring it on peeps. Tell me who’s your fav Batman or Iron Man?

Disney Princesses Get a Macabre Makeover

You may have thought the superheroes in our gender reversal post were a tad skanky, so we wanted to turn things around with this post. Try as we might we couldn’t find any overly prudish superheroes, sorry. The chances of that were as high as Julius Malema making any sense when he talks. Bloody agent.

We moved on and our next search brought us to character designer Jeffrey Thomas who has a knack for taking your fond childhood memories and twisting them into something quite sinister. In his Twisted Princess series, Thomas takes some of Disney’s beloved princesses and gives them with a makeover from hell. He often includes a new story line explaining how they got that way.

Have a look at some of the twisted princesses after the jump.

Superhero Gender Swap!

Word from the Daily Mail is that the Chastity Cher is in the final stages of operation gender-swap and will next month ask a judge to formally change her gender to male and forthwith be known as Chaz Cher. Good on her/him.

We now move from the realm of normality to that of the extraordinary, and consider what male superheroes would look like if they were female. Two comic artists Mariano Navarro and Hernán Cabrera do just that – for each month of the year since 2007, they take a male character from a comic book or cartoon and create a suitably sexy female equivalent. Their gender reversals are freakishly awesome (note to self: find better synonyms).

Check out some of our favourite superhero gender reversals after the jump (possibly NSFW).
