Popular internet meme Grumpy Cat will soon have its own line of bottled coffee drinks, branded after its grumpy self.
The drink will be called, the 'Grumpy Cat Grumppuccino' and will come in three flavors.
When exactly it will be released, remains a mystery. For now, the official Grumpy Cat Facebook page states that the 'grumpy' drink is, "coming soon. Seriously". It also advised that it is going to be "delicious".
Here's a look at the packaging, in case you would like to look out for it at the supermarket in the near future:

Superheroes Then & Now
by abduzeedo
Superheroes are awesome, but they are not invulnerable to the economy and inflation. Some things go much more expensive throughout all these years. For example, the Batmobile in 1939 would cost just $600, while the cost in 2013 would jump to $18 million. Emil Lendof put together some really cool infographics showing the price of being a superhero now comparing with their origins, including Superman, Batman, Spider-man, Hulk and Wolverine
Got the opportunity to work on the layout of text and graphics on these Superhero infographics for Mashable, sponsored by Samsung. The illustrations were done by Bob Al-Greene (@bobalgreene with art direction from Nina Frazier (@ninafrazier).

A group of 20 German Star Wars fans have come together to build a TIE Fighter that weighs over a ton.
Unveiled in Eichenzell, Germany, this TIE Fighter is 5.3-meters wide, 4.8-meters long and 4.3-meters high—half the size of the actual model used in the movie.
It took two years to complete, and the entire project cost US$29,000—with some of the cost being offset by sponsors.
This tribute to George Lucas will be showcased at the “STAR WARS—Celebration Europe” event which will be held on 26 July 2013, in Messe Essen, Germany.

But if you had to compare, which series is better?
To help you decide, here are some awesome images from Reddit thread, ‘Wars VS Thrones’.
Redditors have taken images from both series and captioned them—mocking each other on which ‘outperformed’ the other.

Artist Marta Altés has found a way to make use of colored pencil shavings.
She arranges them carefully into the shape that she wants and completes the remaining image in pencil.
While some pencil shavings double up as tutus, others take on the shape of waves or even a lion’s mane.

The “recycling” logo—commonly seen as three arrows chasing each other—has become so ubiquitous, as it’s commonly used on products, that we fail to notice it anymore.
To prove that logos we see everyday don’t necessarily have to become ‘the same boring sign’, global company Sappi has teamed up with VSA Partners to create a series of new “Please Recycle” logos.
The 18 alternative logos are cleverly designed to be eye-catching, and are sure to pique any typography and logo aficionado’s interest.
The “Please Recycle” alternatives can be downloaded and placed on recyclable printed materials.
See more of them below:

‘Things From Space’ is a whimsical yet surreal, oil-on-canvas series by California-based artist Mark Bryan.
In his paintings, Bryan imagines a distant and dystopian future, where a technologically-advanced earth gets attacked by aliens and UFOs—Bambi gets abducted as a “collector’s item”, the Mona Lisa gets a futuristic update, and a vineyard gets destroyed to leave humanity the last bottle of wine of its kind.
Check out more of his paintings over at his website.

Based in Australia, ad agency Clemenger BBDO has come up with a successful ad campaign which shows the importance of reading the news.
By superimposing headlines on the people in each poster, these posters show the importance of reading about current events as it can affect one’s life.
From being aware of dodgy deals to conmen, this socially responsible ad is a clever bid to gain readership for the newspaper, “The Chronicle”.

Most people take pictures to document their travels, but for Washington-based artist Chandler O’Leary, she illustrates them instead.
For the past several years, O’Leary has been traveling around the US—recording her travels in sketchbooks.
Using nothing but watercolors and pens, she beautifully illustrates the different places that she visits.
According to O’Leary, she said that she preferred drawing over taking pictures because it forces her to “really look” at what she sees before her.
“I might not get to every single landmark by choosing the slow road this way, but the memories of my travels are crystal-clear, even many years later,” she wrote. “This way, I’m relying on my eye, rather than the lens, to do all the seeing: what I lose in breadth I gain in depth.”
