As part of a recent American Iconomics exhibition held at The Shooting Gallery in San Francisco, artist James Charles showed off his series of pop culture American dollar bills. What started as simple doodles for his amusement quickly grew into a bigger thing and Charles found himself not only altering presidents’ faces but also modifying the fonts and adding humourous scripts to actual American currency. His pop culture dollar bills include iconic faces from movies to TV to politics. Have a look at some of his creations below.

If you’re in need of a smile this Friday, look no further than the tiny, awfully cute robots created by artists By Jenn and Tony Bot.

Vans don’t exactly get a lot of air time in movies do they? Sure, a couple of hippies rode around in a van in The Texas Chain Saw Massacre but it didn’t really end too well for them. There was the Mystery Machine in Scooby Doo and while the A-Team’s GMC van may have a special parking space in pop culture, there hasn’t really been much else, has there?
Graphic designer Brandon Ortwein is championing the cause of the humble van in a new image series where he takes vehicles from famous movies and re-imagines them as vans. Have a look at his some of the images from his It Would Have Been Cooler As A Van series after the jump.

On each Friday of 2010, illustrator Adam Sidwell creates a portrait of a baddie be they from TV, film, or video games. It’s part of his Bad Dudes project and by our reckoning he should have amassed an army of the pop culture’s evilest maafakas by the end of the year.
