Geeky Little Golden Book Prints

Geeky Little Golden Book Prints
We’ve featured Joey Spiotto’s art before and we really love his geeky take on classic children’s books, so we thought we would point you to some prints of his Geeky Little Golden Book covers. These prints really are the best thing ever.

I only wish we could have grown up with these books. Below are a few of our favorites, but make sure you check out his Etsy store for many more. They are simply adorable.

Epson Star Wars Smart Canvas Watches

star wars watches
These watches remind me of some of the cool watches I had back in the 80’s. In Japan Epson’s Smart Canvas limited edition wristwatches with E-ink screens are a super hot thing. You can see why. The latest addition to this line is based on Star Wars. You can get these watches in four flavors, each with a different band and display graphics. You can get Darth Vader, C-3PO, a Stormtrooper and R2-D2.

These watches feature a few different display modes. Story mode will show shots from the original trilogy along with the time. Vehicle mode focuses on vehicles of course. Or you can simply display the time. Lastly, there’s a temperature mode that changes the display based on temp. I just love the classic look of the screens. I need these watches!

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!

LEGO Mosaics

LEGO can create all kinds of amazing things. Buildings, statues, you name it and LEGO has been a part of it. You can even create portraits with LEGO. Like these awesome LEGO Mosaics from Oxfordbrickart. Using LEGO bricks as pixels to create art looks really amazing. You can actually buy these to hang in your home.

The seller has Stormtroopers, Daleks from Doctor Who, Batman and many more geek characters. These mosaics look amazing. I would love to hang these all over my house.

This Alien Queen Cosplay Is Terrifying


This is the most terrifying cosplay that I have seen all day. Yet beautiful at the same time. This cosplay by Giulietta Zawadzki really captures the terror that the Alien Queen instills in humans. I can appreciate the beauty and the amazing detail in that costume, but I would never ever want to encounter her in real life. That costume just blows my mind.

Star Wars Characters On Vacation Prints

Star Wars Characters on Vacation Prints
If you have ever wondered what the Star wars characters do while on vacation, wonder no more. It’s all right here. These are the work of Kyle’s Gallery and they are certainly whimsical. They sure know how to live it up and relax during their downtime.

I never took Boba for a knitting kind of guy. And it’s nice to see C-3PO stopping to smell the roses and Vader having some tea too. You can buy prints from Kyle’s Etsy Shop.

Star Trek 365: The Original Series Book

Star Trek 365 The Original Series Book
Star Trek 365: The Original Series is the definitive, authorized guide to the Star Trek television series. It first aired from 1966 through 1969 and went on to become a cultural phenomenon after fans brought it back to life. This visual celebration of the original voyages covers the entire series in amazing detail.

It has in-depth commentary, behind-the-scenes histories, and interviews with writers, cast, and crew. There are also synopses for each of the series’ 79 episodes. The photos alone are worth getting this book for. It’s like a time capsule from the original show. I can’t recommend this one enough.

These Alien Big Chap Mini Figures Come In Some Odd Poses

These Alien Big Chap Mini Figures Come In Some Odd Poses
Kotobukiya has unveiled some new Alien mini figures, in some unexpected poses. How about a Xenomorph in a meditation pose? Or doing a headstand? Yeah, I don’t remember seeing either of those things happen in the movies. How about an alien laying on his stomach with his hands on his chin? There are six different poses in all: hanging, sitting, prone, squat, headstand, and yoga.

You can check out all the poses on their Facebook page. These are weird, but also kind of cool. They have to be good for a laugh if they are on your desk right? They will be available in April of 2016.
