Artist Nate Hallinan created this medieval X-Men character art. This series is called The Order of X and it puts the X-Men in another time and place. These stunning images are just begging to be made into a movie. I’d also love to see some people cosplay these characters. These images are so visually striking.
You can find even more info about each character as well as some concept sketches on Nate’s website. I love Nate’s attention to detail. Awesome.
Artist Joshua Budich created this series of Spaceballs poster art. It parodies Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Naturally it makes me want another Spaceballs movie, like now. Spaceballs: The Schwartz Awakens would be the perfect title for it as well. These posters are pretty perfect. I love the colors and the scenes that Joshua chose to highlight. These images really hit you.
I hope Mel Brooks does make a new Spaceballs movie. He did recently say that he was working on a sequel, but apparently the working title is Spaceballs: The Search For More Money. Maybe he will rethink that now.

Warmth, the final frontier. These are the voyages of getting cozy on the couch or in bed, and watching some Star Trek. These Star Trek Fleece Blankets are perfect for just such a mission.
They come in a variety of colors and sizes, so they will fit any bed. You can get them in Red, Yellow, Blue and Light Blue. They all have the operations patch in the right corner of the blanket.
We’ve featured Hal Hefner‘s work before. I love how he mixes the real world with the “They Live” world. They are really not that far apart. Well, with Star Wars: The Force Awakens upon us, I guess he thought it was a good time to explore our consumption of all of that cool Star Wars merch.
Funny and true.
Now that the Doctor’s new Sonic Screwdriver has made its debut during the show’s season finale, we can get an even better look at it. I have to say, I really am in love with this design. It isn’t as chunky as the 11th Doctor’s Sonic, which I love, and it has some super cool lights. It’s also TARDIS blue. It is the perfect blend of old fashioned and modern. I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait to get my hands on a replica!
sheepcreekstudio makes these cool Needle Felted Star Wars Ships. These ornaments are the softer side of Star Wars. They are perfect for your kid’s rooms or for displaying just about anywhere. You can buy these ships individually or as a whole mobile set.
Because it is never too early to get your child into the magic of Star Wars. These ships are adorable and when they are all displayed together, they look even cooler. I hope they make more ships to add to this little fleet.
This good looking Star Trek Pocket Watch is perfect for when your away team goes back in time. Whether you end up meeting Mark Twain or have to watch your new girlfriend die to protect the timeline, this watch is a stylish way to blend in with the natives. Or if you are just a 21st century citizen who doesn’t serve on a starship, this is a cool way to show your love for Star Trek.
It has an antiqued look, along with the Delta shield on the front case.
Artist Allison Sohn recently posted this amazing commission by her husband Adam Hughes. It is a four piece set that shows some lovely DC ladies done in the style of Alphonse Mucha’s “The Four Seasons”. It is an absolutely lovely set.
If you are wondering how he got those amazing colors, these are done in color Copic Marker with colored pencils, some paint, and ink. I would love to own some prints. Hopefully he will make some available for purchase. Maybe he will create more. I love it.

Director James Gunn recently shared a behind-the-scenes photo from Guardians of the Galaxy that shows a very early design for Star-Lord’s helmet. This is what he had to say:
“#fbf Very early version of the Star-Lord mask. I wanted the eyes to be big, as if he was perpetually surprised, not your regular hero. We might have overdone it a bit here. #GotG#flashbackfriday”
It’s always fun to see the evolution of things like this. Below is a piece of concept art that this helmet design was based on. It’s not bad, but I’m glad they made all of the minor improvements that they did. The final version really works well.

Scott Park has illustrated the spaceships and vehicles from the original Star Wars trilogy to scale. Yes it is as awesome as it sounds. We get to see how a Ronto compares to a TIE-Fighter, to a Tauntaun and on and on. Scott did a great job on this animation. It really puts things into perspective. Some of the sizes may surprise you. For instance, I had forgotten how large those B-Wings were. They are about the size of an Imperial shuttle. Fun stuff.
