Lisbon, Portugal based artist Filipe Carvalho created these flat minimal Star Wars icons. They are colorful and adorable. Instead of complex images that are full of detail Filipe uses just a few colors to create these characters.
I would love to have these hanging on my wall, that’s for sure. The force is strong with Filipe’s art. I don’t think you could make these characters any more simple.
I still can’t believe that Leonard Nimoy is gone. He will live on though, on screen and in our hearts. This vintage 1986 interview with Nimoy was conducted to coincide with the release of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. You might remember that Nimoy also directed the film.
Among other things, Nimoy talks about the spirit of Star Trek, and how it has evolved through the years. It’s a fascinating interview and a reminder that this man was one hell of a human being.
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.
Commercial illustrator Jason Edminston has a new exhibition at Mondo Gallery in Austin, Texas. It is called Eyes Without A Face and you can se it up until April 4. It will feature one hundred and fifty pairs of eyes from movies, music and television, so that you can look into the windows to their souls. I could look at these all day long, even if they do appear to be looking back.
Below is just a small sampling of his work. You can check out his site to see more of his awesome work. It’s fun to see how many you can identify.

Guardians of the Galaxy showed that Space Operas can still be fun and epic. If you enjoyed the movie, you’ll like these videos. Visual effects and animation studio Framestore has released a few videos that break down the stunning visual effects work.
The Knowhere Reel details the decapitated head of an ancient Celestial that we visited in the film. The second video is all about Rocket Raccoon.
This series comes from artist Darren Rawlings. These are what famous cars would look like as Transformers! The results are pretty awesome. You can check out his page for more, but below are some of our favorites.
I love the Batmobile Transformer. This is an awesome idea that is well executed. Now if only I could buy toys based on these designs, I would be very happy. maybe one day.
The boulder scene from Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the all time classic movie scenes. If you ever wondered what went into creating it, check out the new episode of Art of the Scene by CineFix. In this episode they take an in-depth look at the scene from the 1981 fantasy adventure film.
This is a great installment. I had no idea what they used for the sound of the rolling boulder and it is no soooo obvious now. That scene will forever be etched in my mind as one of Dr. Jone’s greatest moments. Check it out. It’s worth the few minutes it takes.
What could be better than Ghostbusting. And the latest news is that we have not one, but two Ghostbusters movies to look forward to. Hopefully they live up to the originals, although I am not getting my hopes up. I spotted these Ghostbusters Playing Cards and had to share them. The illustrations are awesome.
At last we can combine Ghostbusting with poker and Black Jack.
Blade Runner fans are going to appreciate these images. This 142 photo collection offers a behind-the-scenes look at the model shop for Blade Runner, the 1982 sci-fi classic directed by Ridley Scott. Prepare to get lost for a good long time as you delve into these.
They are mostly images of the miniatures during various stages of production. You can really see how much love and attention to detail went into all of the props for this movie and of course that shows on screen. I am really loving all of these photos.
This proof of concept trailer is pretty mind blowing. The Leviathan is a sci-fi monster movie from Oscar-nominated director Ruairí Robinson. We hope this ends up being made, because it is awesome! He created this short trailer in order to convince others that he has a strong vision for this movie. Movies like this aren’t cheap after all.
It’s about humans who hunt giant flying whale creatures above the clouds with laser blasters and other weapons. All I can say is, give us 2 more hours of this please! Check it out below and let us know what you think.
By the early 22nd century mankind had colonized many worlds. Faster than light travel was made possible by harvesting exotic matter from the eggs of the largest species mankind has ever seen. Those that take part in the hunt are mostly involuntary labor.
