Pokémon fans will appreciate the art that one Japanese artist is showing off. Twitter user xxx2251 made this cool Pokémon art using only leaves that fell from trees. The result is quite beautiful and looks deceptively simple to do.

I like Batman well enough. I certainly watched the show in reruns during the summer growing up, and love the Christian Bale/Christopher Nolan franchise. Batman fans into DIY and making things with their hands might want to get some of these kits.

During August in Japan, Obon is celebrated. The idea is that the spirits of people’s ancestors return to this world. In order to welcome the spirits, people make little displays out of eggplants and cucumbers. So why not get geeky about it and make some Mad Max vehicles?
