Star Wars: Light Side, Dark Side…Art Side

Star Wars Light Side, Dark Side...Art Side
Roberto Peraza doesn’t choose between the dark side and the light side, instead choosing the art side. Here he takes familiar Star wars portraits and mixes basic polygon shapes with background landscape images. The results are pretty stunning.

I have never seen anything like this done with Star Wars portraits. Gotta say, I love it. Darth Vader is especially awesome. Hopefully the artist will add more since he says that this series is “To be continued…”

Star Wars Lamp With Illuminated Lightsabers

Star Wars Lamp With Illuminated Lightsabers
Check out this interior lighting from a galaxy far, far away. The Star Wars Lightsaber Legacy Lamp is officially licensed by Lucasfilm Ltd. and is a limited edition.

Just flip the switch on the cord and the lamp illuminates with a soft light. Pretty cool. But it gets even better. Hit the second switch on the hand-sculpted and hand-painted base and 3 lightsabers glow blue, green and red. This is a weapon, I mean lamp, that any Star Wars fan would love. It measures 18-inches tall.

Star Wars Death Star Kitchen Timer

Star Wars Death Star Kitchen Timer
The Star Wars Death Star Kitchen Timer will be the ultimate power in your kitchen. Just rotate the top hemisphere to the required time to start the countdown. It will time up to 60 minutes.

It will let out a ring when the timer reaches zero. You know, rather than destroying a planet. It is the perfect kitchen accessory for Star Wars fans. It should last for awhile too, since it doesn’t have the design flaw of the original that caused it to blow up so easily.

It is one beautiful deck of cards. The images are printed on 310gsm, casino quality, linen cardstock and each card contains a black core layer so other players can’t see what you are holding. Naturally Jar-Jar is the joker. This is one of the prettiest playing card sets I have ever seen.

Geeky Black Velvet Paintings

geeky black velvet paintings
Way back when, people used to make fun of velvet paintings. Rightly so. They were usually tacky things that featured Elvis or a wolf howling at the moon. That was before velvet paintings started getting geeky.

At Gallery1988 in Los Angeles these beautiful paintings done on black velvet were recently on display. The show was titled, “Cult of Personality: a Velvet Art Show from Bruce White”. The painter has taken many sci fi characters and painted them on velvet. Everything from Star wars to Star Trek, to Blade Runner and beyond. They all look amazing.

R2-D2 PS4 Laptop Mod

R2-D2 PS4 Laptop Mod
This is the droid laptop I’ve been looking for. Don’t try to tell me otherwise with your fancy Jedi mind tricks. Ed Zarick created this awesome R2-D2 PS4 laptop. He used 3D printed replicas of Artoo’s parts. It even sounds just like R2-D2 thanks to an Adafruit WaveShield.

It is a more streamlined PS4 from a more civilized age. I love all of the detailing. It is just perfect. Check out the video below.
