Art Wars

Artists from David Bailey to Yinka Shonibare have appropriated the iconic Star Wars headgear for a new exhibition coming soon to London’s Saatchi Gallery as part of STRARTA art fair. Art Wars, featuring a tantalising array of variously soup-canned, crocheted and jewel-encrusted helmets, will run from 9 to 13 October... 

This theme for an art show has been seen and done before, but these are just so goo we had to share. I am really digging the weird choices some of the artists made to incorporate the designs into the trooper helmets. Great work...

So This Is What Waitresses Look Like In A Galaxy Far, Far Away...

Chicks with tats are kinda hot. Chicks with tats that rock a Star Wars helmet to help move the monotonous work day along are even hotter. But chicks that compound that by wearing a galactic themed apron... now that is just wonderful!!! Click after the jump for the full pic...

Clinton Felker Shows Us What Feudal Japan Would Look Like In A Galaxy Far, Far Away

I have seen many artists try to add the feudal Japan twist to the members of the Star Wars community, but I can't remember ever seeing a complete group that nailed it as well as Clinton Felker's bunch does. He gets the samurai & bushido stylings of the era down pat and completely kills this series of paintings. Not only do you get to peruse these wonderful pictures here on CCD, but if you click here you can even follow the links to purchase  these pieces for your own collection. Just hurry up before Mr. Buzzkill himself George Lucas gets wind of these...

Stormtroopers Prefer Leather

Here is a site for people who prefer their Harley over a Speedbike.
Check out this site, UD Replicas, they make replicas of garments used on the silver screen and make it into reality with the use of leather. I think it's time for me to trade in my leather jacket for a cool looking Dark Knight replica.

There Is No More "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" In The Empire... At Least Not In NYC!!!

Here is a Storm Trooper, Rainbow-ized, at the Gay Pride parade last week in NYC after NY passed the gay marriage law. I mean, if Lord Vader is ok with it, why should any politicians here have a beef???

Jim Jeroo Does Some Star Wars Mashups That Would Even Make The Emperor Proud

James Hance, aka Jim Jeroo, is a great artist... that's not really anything to debate. But the thing I love about his work is the direction he takes when he decides what he wants to create. While he has tons of artwork on his website featuring classic movie and comic book characters, I have chosen to focus on some of his 'Star Wars' pieces. These are great. Hope you like them. Get over to Jim's site by clicking here... he has prints for sale for $10!
