You Are

I have no idea who did this or where it's from, but a friend sent it to me and I think it's hilarious.

Destination...

While scanning the pages of Geek Central Station I happened upon this set of amazing Star Wars posters. Each for a planet or moon in the Star Wars universe. Design conscious travel agency a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away...

Not much is said about the designer who made these, except that you can view his work on his Flickr page.

These posters could easily fit in at Disneyland's Star Tours attraction, although there is something I love about the old 80s posters already on display.

As of January 2010 Adidas Originals has released its line of Star Wars inspired sneakers and apparel. How or why I'm just hearing about this is beyond me and makes me very sad indeed. All the best pairs of sneakers are already gone and on eBay for the small asking price of $200 a pair, a $120 mark-up.

But, there is some hope. I could win the Lotto?

I'm just merely trying to remain optimistic for my own sake, I want, no need, a pair of the AT-AT sneakers right away. Another pair of shoes to add to my wish list; I'm still hoping for the Nike SB Boba Fett Dunks.

While in the aforementioned process of updating my website I removed two pieces of work that I found more suitable to post here on the blog. There were meant to be more drawings than just these two, but I never went back to that particular sketchbook. Maybe I'll revisit that set soon?

Aliens vs. Predator

All I have to say is, holy s**t.

If this isn't reason to own a PS3 I don't know what is.

On ign.com today they posted an article previewing the new Alien Vs. Predator game coming out early 2010 on the PS3, more specifically the multiplayer, which I heard was amazing in the originals. I always wanted to, but never got to, play the PC AVP and AVP2, now I have the opportunity to play what looks to be light years away from those classics, in terms of graphics. Let's just hope the gameplay is what I expect it once was.

Seriously, I need a PS3.

Vader

Per request. The Dark Lord of the Sith. Darth Vader.

...I Am...

Nothing is more painful than knowing that the Dark Lord of the Sith is your father. How f***ed up, I mean really. You just dedicated two weeks of your life to defeating the Empire and then you have this s**t laid on you. Not only do you get the worst news of your life, but you lose a hand for it. No justice for Luke here. I guess it was the Empire who struck back in this movie anyway. Vader revealing to Luke, I am your father, was maybe one of the best twists ever. Leia being his sister, not so much.

In any event I needed to attempt to do something different and here it is. Space and geometry the current guilty pleasure. I don't mind doing it for this piece, just cause it doesn't really matter.

Amigurumi?

On the hunt for some inspiration I found this. I don't particularly know what these are besides awesome (I can't even pronounce, amigurumi).

The man behind these cute little...uh...yarn people is Sammi Resendes and you can check these and a lot more geeky fandom out by heading over to his fun blog where there are things I never thought possible.

Geotrooper

Paper, Tape & Cardboard
6" x 6"

I was inspired recently and finally decided to take that inspiration and channel it into something of my own.

I made an abstract model of a Stormtrooper helmet using some Scotch tape and three sheets of white 8.5"x11" paper. I basically just wanted to see if I could make a three dimensional object. It's based on very simple geometry and symmetry, but I think the result seems surprisingly more complex.

The fun thing about this piece was that I sat and worked on the model while watching Return of the Jedi, and it's been a while since I've watched any of the three films.

Battle for Endor

Micron Drawing
Dimensions: 8.5" x 11"

This weekend while visiting my girlfriend I watched the Ewoks. I saw about half of Caravan of Courage and did not much care for it. I had never seen it. On the other hand I did have a chance to watch The Battle for Endor, which is a great movie. It's cute and sweet and above all very violent. The Ewoks are insane little warriors and they can do damage (whether it be those crazy skeleton fellows or the Empire).

Wicket!

Predator

Pencil Drawing
8.5" x 11"

What a perfect compliment to the Alien drawing from yesterday, this is one ugly mother f****r.

I actually watched this movie a hundred times when I was a kid. My brothers and I must have worn our VHS tape out. Predator is a fond memory of my childhood, like a lot of Arnold's movies, it's a classic.

Aliens

Pencil Drawing
8.5" x 11"

This is officially my first post. It is a drawing of two aliens from Alien.

I have to say these movies are amazing and sadly enough I only realized this four years ago (and I call my self a geek). I had never had the privileged opportunity to watch the Alien movies, but once I did I was hooked. Don't get me wrong, I knew of Alien, I just hadn't seen Alien. Strange.
