This Star Wars Art Tracks The Jedi And Sith Through All Of The Movies

This Star Wars Art Tracks The Jedi And Sith Through All Of The Movies
This is a super complex piece of art. Andrew DeGraff’s latest art piece is just amazing and it conveys a ton of information. This painting was on display at this weekend’s Art Awakens show at Los Angeles’ Gallery 1988.

It follows the path of every Sith Lord and Jedi Knight across every location in every major vehicle they have used, through all six films. There is so much here that I’m not even sure I can decipher all of it. There is just so much here. It took over 600 hours to make for God’s sake. Most impressive!

Watercolor Superheroes Are Ethereal And Awesome

Watercolor Superheroes Are Ethereal And Awesome
Watercolor art always has this otherworldly feel. It is even more otherworldly when superheroes are done in watercolor paint. These watercolor portraits are from French illustrator and designer Blule. They are intense and full of movement.

I would love to see more comic books using watercolor to tell stories. These portraits are just so satisfying to look at. It really is amazing the mood you can set with watercolor paints.

Marilyn Monroe As Darth Vader

marilyn monroe darth vader art

Here’s something you don’t see everyday. Marilyn Monroe in Darth Vader’s armor. Spanish artist Marta de Andrés wanted to make a statement about the strength of women and equality between men and women. This is one striking way to get her point across. I love the juxtaposition of evil Darth Vader and desirable Marilyn.

A few possible titles for this piece of art:

The Seven Year Sith
Some Like It Darth

Also, I can’t stop seeing Darth Marilyn singing “Happy Birthday Mister Palpatine” in my head.

Adventure Time: The Women Of Ooo Are Sad

The land of Ooo is home to all kinds of amazing things. It has creatures that can kill you, creatures that are cute, stuff that will just give you poo brain and of course, all of the lovely Princesses. The ladies of Ooo are pretty special. Just ask the Ice King.

Well, Behance artist Haffi Chan has some awesome illustrations featuring some of Adventure Times leading ladies. These illustrations show Princess Bubblegum, Marceline, Lady Rainicorn and the Flame Princess in a new light. They are absolutely stunning. Lady Rainicorn is the best. Not sure why they are all so sad though.

Amazing Geeky Matchbook Paintings

DugMcUglyArt made these super cool matchbook paintings with some of our favorite geek pop culture characters. Below are just some of his miniature masterpieces. The art is fantastic, but the artist also manages to inject some humor into these paintings.

One of my favorites is “The Hound” with the matches appropriately burned. Another is Jack Nicholson’s joker from Tim Burton’s Batman movie. I would love to display all of these together. Awesome work.

Thrift Store Paintings Get Geeky Makeovers

I’ve seen many artists who do “Piggyback Art”, but few hold my attention the way David Irvine of the Gnarled Branch does. He makes whimsical furniture, Gothic sculptures and what he calls “Re-Directed Paintings”. Irvine finds old or discarded thrift store paintings and brings them back to life, adding all kinds of geeky pop culture characters. Below are just a few examples.

He sells the paintings and prints on Etsy, Society 6 and Red Bubble. You can also see more of his artwork on his Facebook page. I love these pieces.

The Great Sandworm Race: We Have Wormsign

Now here is an epic mash-up that you don’t see everyday. Artist and illustrator Stephen Andrade painted this awesome masterpiece showing the giant worms from Tremors, Beetlejuice and Dune all taking part in The Great Sandworm Race. My money is on the Dune worm. It will just eat the rest of them. It is a worm eat worm world my friends.

And if that isn’t amazing enough, there’s more. He also created a digital version that looks like a vintage pulp book cover, making me wish I could read that issue. All hail Shai-Hulud.
