This is a series of fictional Gotham Evening Post covers by artist Dos Santos (links to page where you can buy prints) in the style of Norman Rockwell's iconic Saturday Evening Post ones. Personally, I'm a huge fan of Norman Rockwell's style. Also: Justin Beiber's. I just love him! *returns to computer from bathroom, rereads article* DAMMIT BECKY, WHAT DID I TELL YOU ABOUT TOUCHING MY COMPUTER WHEN I'M GONE? "Don't do it." And? "You're going to cut all the heads off my dolls tonight." You're damn right I am. And you can forget about me taking you to that stupid Justin Beeper concert like mom asked me to. "But!" BUT NOTHING, I'M TAKING A FRIEND NOW AND WE'RE GONNA THROW ROCKS.

Hit the jump for five more.

Thanks to lynn, who agrees the best magazine covers are the ones with hot chicks that you can tear off and tape to your dorm room walls. "But I'm a girl." Fine, Tiger Beat covers then.

    This is a series of superhero art by Native American artist Jeffrey Veregge. I'm really digging them. It's always amazed me how some Native American tribes could make it rain just by doing a special dance. Because the only other time I've seen that happen is at the nudie bar... / Continue →

    This is a small (but growing) series of Nintendo game characters (games for Nintendo, not all made by Nintendo) as traditional Japanese Ukiyo-e woodblock prints by Geekologie reader Ezra's illustrator friend Jed Henry. This is Samus here, but there's a Link and Mega Man after ... / Continue →

  • "In the style of Rockwell" is used very "loosely" here.

  • IMO the best student of Rockwell who works in the comics biz is Alex Ross.
