Thrift Store Paintings Get Geeky Makeovers

I’ve seen many artists who do “Piggyback Art”, but few hold my attention the way David Irvine of the Gnarled Branch does. He makes whimsical furniture, Gothic sculptures and what he calls “Re-Directed Paintings”. Irvine finds old or discarded thrift store paintings and brings them back to life, adding all kinds of geeky pop culture characters. Below are just a few examples.

He sells the paintings and prints on Etsy, Society 6 and Red Bubble. You can also see more of his artwork on his Facebook page. I love these pieces.

Sci-Fi And Superhero Engraved Hobo Nickels

British artist Shaun Hughes has some mad engraving skills. He creates quite a variety of incredible hobo nickels. What you see here is just a small sampling of his work. He has all kinds of creations on his DeviantART gallery.

Even if we could, there’s no way we could spend any of these. They are so beautiful you would just want to keep them. These altered coins look amazing.

Star Wars X Simpsons Mashup: A Long Time Ago In A Springfield Far, Far Away

These are some fun Star Wars and Simpsons character mashup illustrations by Corey Customs. Now if we only had a Star Wars / Simpsons animated movie, we could see these funny characters come to life. That would be a fun trilogy. I would love to see Ned Skywalker battle against Darth Krusty.

Great job Corey. The Force is strong with your illustration skills.

Spaceship Skeletal Surveys: The Anatomy Of Sci-Fi Starships

Kansas City, Missouri artist Josh Ln has a fun and creative anatomical illustration series of famous spaceships from science fiction. The series is titled Spaceship Skeletal Surveys and features ships from SciFi films and TV shows. Now you can see what they would look like if they had a skeletal structure.

We have the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars, the Enterprise from Star Trek, the TARDIS from Doctor Who, Firefly and a viper from Battlestar Galactica, all showing off their anatomy. You can order prints and all kinds of apparel with these five designs printed on them from Josh’s Society6 store.

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.

Pop Culture Characters Replace Don Draper In These Mad Men Posters

If you watch Mad Men then you are very familiar with the opening to the show. Etsy seller noodlehug was inspired by the show to create these neat posters, with pop culture characters in place of the Mad Man from the intro. We’ve featured this seller’s work before and I have to say, I really like their stuff.

Now we get to see Darth Vader,Boba Fett, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Loki, Spider-Man and others replace Don Draper in these mashups. I’m thinking that these guys would all make an amazing ad agency. They could call it Draper, Vader and Fett. Or maybe Vader, Fett and Sterling. Something like that.

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.

Star Warped Art Prints Depict A Twisted Galaxy Far, Far Away

If you are looking for some Star Wars art with serious attitude and lots of humor, get thee to the PickledCircus Etsy store right this second. Matthew Roby’s Star Warped series is all kinds of awesome.

Whether it is Leia as the lollipop sucking Alderaan Avenger, or Boba Fett with a “Strawberry Solo” frozen popsicle, or any of his other humorous pieces, these art prints will make you smile and laugh. How about Jabba the Hutt as the “Blobfather” or Admiral Ackbar falling for the somewhat obvious trap of a mini Death Star with dynamite attached? I love these and I hope he keeps making more.

Deleted Wampa Attack Scene from Empire Strikes Back

Check out this photo from the set of Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back. It is part of a deleted scene from the film. As you can see, those rebels are having a tough time dealing with a Wampa attack. This scene would have been great on screen.

Originally the Wampas were to play a slightly larger part in the movie as you can see in the scene included below, which is another deleted scene, where C-3PO tears off a warning sign on a door with Wampas inside, to try to trick the pursuing troops. This one may have been a bit too comical for the final cut, but I would love to see the scene where the rebels face some Wampas.

Star Wars Football Helmets

Graphic designer Brandon Hubschman created this series of NFL helmets done up in amazing Star Wars style. If the Star Wars franchise also owned NFL teams, this is what we would get. It makes me wish we could see these on the field.

Each of these awesome helmets capture the characters perfectly. The TIE Fighter and Darth Maul helmets would especially look intimidating on the Football field. I wouldn’t want to be tackled by anyone on team Jabba though. Come on Disney, give us a Star Wars NFL team. The Washington Wookies, maybe the Detroit Droids.
