This Full-Sized X-Wing Is Parked At A Singapore Airport

This Full-Sized X-Wing Is Parked At A Singapore Airport
How would you like to sit in an X-wing cockpit? Well, if you find yourself in Singapore over the next few weeks, you can stop by Changi Airport, where there is a full sized X-Wing at terminal 3. You can even sit in it and get a picture.

This opportunity is on a first-come first-served basis. 80 tickets are given out for each time slot. That would be a very cool opportunity to actually sit in an X-Wing cockpit. There’s also a TIE-Fighter in Terminal 2. I’m booking a flight to Singapore.

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 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.

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 Wars Characters As Greek Statues

Star Wars Characters As Greek Statues
Star Wars goes Greek in this cool art series from Travis Durden. The characters of Star wars get mashed up with greek sculptures. To create these classic new sculptures from the old ones, Travis took pictures of statues on display at the Louvres and then asked a 3D modeler to design the heads.

After that he used a retoucher to put the Star wars heads on the bodies. The concept is simple and the end result is stunning. It makes you look at these characters in a whole new light.
