Battlestar Galactica 35th Anniversary Art Portfolio by Ralph McQuarrie

Fans of Battlestar Galactica will want to own this Battlestar Galactica 35th Anniversary Art Portfolio by Ralph McQuarrie book. Inside you will be thrilled to find 24 of Ralph’s Original concept paintings of: A fleet of Battlestars, The Cylon assult on Caprica, Baltar brought before the Imperious Leader, The bridge of the Galactica, The Tylioum mines of the insect-like Ovions and many more.

I could get absorbed in this for hours. As with Star Wars, Ralph McQuarrie was instrumental in shaping Battlestar Galactica. Most know that he was involved with Star Wars, but many don’t realize the influence he had with Battlestar.

Your Favorite TV Shows And Movies As Children’s Books

A few weeks ago Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles hosted Storytime, a show of Joey Spiotto’s humorous work. These are kids books that are worthy of any kid’s book collection. Popular movies and TV shows turned into kids books. You can buy prints here.

I especially love the Borg book and the Planet Of The Apes book. Well, I love them all. Can’t pick a favorite. These books would put kids to sleep and fill their heads with all sorts of wonderful adventures. Amazing dreams would follow.

Alien Makeup Designs from Guardians Of The Galaxy

These are some really nice behind the scenes photos that show off different alien makeup designs created for Guardians of the Galaxy. You have to love the retro look and feel of this movie and admire all of the practical effects that were used to pull it off. These designs have so much detail!

Dave White, the special effects makeup designer helped to create the designs for Gamora, Drax, Nebula, Yondu, Korath, and other aliens. They are all done practically and are free from modern alien design influences. The end results in the film were simply amazing. You’ll find more at the link.

The Star Wars Prequels From R2-D2’s Perspective

Some people enjoy the Star Wars prequels, while others can’t stand them. One thing is for sure. The prequels show a different point of view compared to the original movies. Speaking of points of view, imagine how different the prequels would be from R2-D2’s point of view.

Artist Chris Gugliotti shows us with this nine panel comic titled “A Certain Point of View.” I would love to see Gugliotti do the original trilogy from R2-D2’s perspective too. R2-D2 has a very unique adventure. The last panel is my favorite.

Men In Black Ambassador Replica

People love the men in Black movies because of the amazing creature design. The aliens that Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones encounter are truly out of this world and are truly alien. Remember the little alien creature that lived inside the head of Ambassador Rosenberg? Well, look at the amazing replica that the sculptors at Elite Creature Collectibles are working on.

To say that this is super detailed is the understatement of the year. It really is a breathtaking replica that is a work of art. The prototype sculpt was shown off at this year’s SDCC, but Elite Creature has not set a release date yet. Or a price. I’ll be saving my pennies and waiting eagerly.

Doctor Who: The Lifespan Of Each Doctor

This graph may not tell you how many years each of the Doctors has been traipsing through time and space, but it will tell you exactly how long every single Doctor was on the air for.

Obviously Tom Baker’s Fourth Doctor wins this competition. William Hartnell’s original Doctor comes in at second place. It’s a handy and fun chart if you want to know exactly how long each Doctor was on the air. And of course you do, because we can’t get enough of Doctor Who.

A Day in the Life of Boba Fett

Behance member Scott Francisco is exploring the blurring of the lines between fantasy and reality in this photography series titled A Day in the Life of a Pop Culture Icon.

Here we see a typical day for Boba Fett. And guess what? It’s pretty much just like a typical day in your life or mine. Of course, some things are made harder by wearing that Mandalorian helmet. Like shaving for example. It’s pretty mundane stuff really, but a fun set of photos nonetheless. I’m guessing that this is his less than adventurous life after the encounter with the Sarlacc Pit.

Beautiful And Retro Silent Running Art Print

Etsy seller handdrawncreative has a super nice and retro hand drawn Silent Running print. It is a limited edition of only 20 prints and he tells me he only has one left.

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Douglas Trumbull’s 1972 film featuring Bruce Dern. I know I would love to display this in my man cave. Each print is signed and numbered. For those of you who have never seen the movie. Shame on you. Go do that now.

Doctor Who Inspired Money: Don’t Spend It All In Time And Space

Artist Randi Sparkman created these clever Doctor Who inspired bank notes, which I’m assuming are only printed on Gallifrey. Which is a shame really, because along with the destruction of the home planet of the Time Lords, the currency tanked. Then it was all revived again when all 13 Doctor’s saved the planet, so it’s all good.

This currency features Daleks, the TARDIS, the 9th Doctor and the 10th. As currency goes, this is some of the coolest I have ever seen. I’d love to have a pocket full. It beats plain old galactic credits anyday.

Planet Of The Apes Art By Alex Ross

The latest Planet of the Apes movie has me wanting to watch the old Planet of the Apes movies all over again, but before I do that, I thought I would share this poster art from comic artist Alex Ross. He has created four pieces of poster art inspired by the original Planet of the Apes. These are based on covers of the Boom Studios Comic book Planet of the Apes: Cataclysm. They were available for purchase at San Diego Comic-Con, but you can still buy them here. If any are left.

Each 17 x 22 inch giclee is a limited edition of 168. They will cost $145 each and $195 for #4. Sure, they are a tad expensive, but this is Alex Ross. And apes! Damn dirty apes!
