Super Emo Star Wars Prints

Etsy seller J. Salvador is a pop kawaii artist. He likes making characters over to be emo. In his shop you will find all kinds of cool stuff, but these Super Emo Star Wars prints are what catches the eye. These are fun and silly and cute, showing all of our favorite characters acting way too emo.

Boba Fett is sad because he was just doing his job. C-3PO asks “Is he my father too?” Poor Greedo laments the fact that his gun wasn’t even loaded. These prints may be sad, but they will make you smile.

Star Trek Into Darkness Starfleet Academy Class Ring Prop Replica

Not just anyone can wear this ring. This is what the best and brightest strive for. The Starfleet Academy Class Ring! If you have what it takes, you can wear one. Maybe even Captain a starship one day. This is a 1:1 scale prop replica of the rings worn in the 2013 Star Trek Into Darkness film.

It was crafted from the actual screen-used ring and even comes in a custom lighted metal case with a clear topside window. Quantum Mechanix designed and produced the actual ring worn in the film. Now they are offering this one made using the same mold. No collection is complete without it.

Man Of Steel Behind-The-Scenes Special Effects Video

Say what you want about Man of Steel. Even if you didn’t like it, you have to admit that the movie looked great. The movie had some great visual effects. In this behind-the-scenes video, the visual effects team talk about how they came up with one of the most striking elements of Kryptonian technology. The “liquid geo”.

This gray metallic liquid can reshape and form into anything. It works really well in the movie, helping make Krypton technology even more alien. It’s fascinating stuff and worth a watch.

This cute photo shoot actually makes me kind of eager to see what the new movie has in store for us. Maeghan looks like an authentic Ghostbuster to me. She obviously had a great time with this.

You’re Hired!: The Amazing Spinnen-Weber Resume Cover

This amazing resume and infographic in one was created by Behance user and art director John Andrew Spinnenweber. With a name like that, this resume cover really makes a lot of sense. I would hire him in a heartbeat.

You can see by this cover that he has all of the right qualifications. He spins a mean web too. Nice work John, but why can you never get me some images of that Spinnen-Weber. That’s what we want! That’s news! Now get back out there with that camera.

These Bizarre LEGO Mash-Ups Make Awesome Posters

Buenos Aires based Alexandre Tisser created this series of prints for a new campaign titled, Fiction meets Fiction. Many LEGO addicts have switched the heads on their minifigures, kids and adults alike, but Alexandre does it to great effect here.

Homer/Wolverine is the best. He could slice up endless doughnuts as he pops them in his mouth. Vader in a Kimono is pretty awesome too. LEGO once again proves to be a great creative tool for great minds.

Vintage Star Wars Concept Art: The Evolution Of Boba Fett

Boba Fett didn’t originally start out with that design we know and love from Empire and Jedi. The original designs show a bounty hunter that looks closer to a Stormtrooper. Boba Fett’s design evolved during the design phase and eventually became the Mandalorian we know.

You can see the evolution below. It was still cool looking, but less defined. Not as unique. It definitely lacked character and presence. I’m glad it kept evolving, because the instant I saw Fett on screen, I knew this guy was not to be messed with. THIS was a bounty hunter that inspired fear.
