Artist Aurelio Lorenzo created this screenprinted poster for the 2009 J.J Abrams movie, as a private commission for some lucky person. He takes New-Trek and gives it some retro old Trek vibes. I love the comic book palette and the fact that there is so much going on in this poster. It has action all over it.
French artist Georges le Mercenaire created this series that imagines famous Pop Culture characters, mostly robots, as fossils dug up by some fictional future generation. Below are just some of them. I love art like this that thinks outside of the box and shows you familiar things in new ways. It’s a fantastic concept.
Among the Sci-Fi characters presented here are Twiki from Buck Rogers, a Cylon, an AT-AT, Darth Vader, Bender from Futurama and more.
Some people will tell you that Doctor Who has gone to the dogs under showrunner Steven Moffat, but I don’t think that is entirely true. However in the case of this series from artist tee-kyrin, it is entirely true. I present to you Doctor Who as dogs!
The series is named “Dogtor Who”. Of course. All of the dogs match their timelord counterparts nicely. This is a fun series and the art is awesome.
One of the things I don’t like about the recent X-Men movies are the costumes. I want more colorful costumes like the ones drawn on our favorite mutants in the comic books. Well, if you are also tired of seeing your favorite mutants dressed only in black jumpsuits, illustrator Kevin Wada, has upped their fashion. Drastically.
These images are from a series called X-Fashion, and they do look like they belong in a high fashion magazine. The heroes and the villains all get a fashion makeover. The designs even align with each character’s mutant powers. I guess the danger room is a lot more colorful now.

Nick Stember has translated a 142 page Chinese comic book adaptation of Star Wars that was originally published in Guangdong, China, in the 1980s. It’s crazy stuff. It’s best just to take a look for yourself. It seems to have been made without viewing Return of the Jedi, since there are elements of the other movies and none from Jedi.
Below are just some of the panels. You can hit up Nick’s website for the rest. This is a strange rabbit hole to fall into, but you can easily lose a lot of time looking through all of the images and translations.
If you are looking for some Star Wars art with serious attitude and lots of humor, get thee to the PickledCircus Etsy store right this second. Matthew Roby’s Star Warped series is all kinds of awesome.
Whether it is Leia as the lollipop sucking Alderaan Avenger, or Boba Fett with a “Strawberry Solo” frozen popsicle, or any of his other humorous pieces, these art prints will make you smile and laugh. How about Jabba the Hutt as the “Blobfather” or Admiral Ackbar falling for the somewhat obvious trap of a mini Death Star with dynamite attached? I love these and I hope he keeps making more.
