Sometimes discovering something so awesome, but finding out its too late is one of the worst feelings in the world. Yesterday, art/illustration inspired apparel company, Shirt.Woot featured a bitchin’ t-shirt that mashed up three things I love. Those three things are zombies, vampires, and robots (who doesn’t love zombies, vampires, and robots). Unfortunately, the shirt was sold out before I came across the design and this lead into weeping. Due to the fact that I was floored by the illustration, I did some digging to find out who designed this lovely piece. This incredible illustration, named “Zombie Vampire Robots from Space!” was beautifully created by Benjamin Douglass. Benjamin is a full time professional designer and illustrator and he does projects for various companies for advertisement and marketing campaigns, however his personal illustrations are the most creative and humourous. I always feared about a robot invasion or a zombie apocalypse enslaving the human race, but thanks to Mr. Douglass, now I fear zombie vampire robots from space. Hopefully, this won’t be the first and only design from Ben featuring zombies, vampires, and robots.

Twilight, Vampire Diaries, Count Chocula… Unfortunately, vampires are the shit right now. The good ole days of Nosferatu and Bram Stoker seems long gone and I can’t really seem to get into the whole Edward Cullen and the whole sparkly skin deal (I still love Count Chocula though), but whatever. I’ll go with it.
The cool guys and gals over at Harcos feeds the blood sucking masses by releasing their new “out of the box” energy drink. If you weren’t aware, Harcos was the creators behind the popular Mana and Health energy potions which was a huge hit for fans of RPGs like Dungeons and Dragons and MMORPGs like World of Warcraft. Now taping into the the need for more vampire-related goodies, Harcos has made a “Blood Energy Potion”.
New from the makers of Mana and Health Energy Potion comes Blood Energy Potion: the world’s first syntetic blood beverage. The fruit punch flavor packs four hours of energy aling with iron, protein, and electrolytes. Not only does Blood Energy Potion have a similar nutritional makeup to real blood, but it has the same color, look, and consistency. Get real blood nutrients without that real blood taste!
Holy shit?! Blood and electrolytes?! Its a difficult to wrap my head around that pairing, but like most things vampire, I’ll just take it as it is. I love fruit punch so I’m pretty sure I will dig this as well, but the idea of drinking something with the same color and consistency as blood scares me a bit. However, I’ll get over it (not sure if thats a good or bad thing). So for you fangirls (and fanboys) that want to be a vampire like the Cullens, drink up and go run a mile or two.
The Blood Energy Potion will be available right before Halloween and will go a cool $3.99. Its “B Positively” delicious (okay, that shit was lame. Sorry)
