Steampunk Star Wars, Done Right by Bjornn Hurri

Star Wars is definitely one of the more popular topics of fan art... everyone likes taking their own try at re-designing classic characters such as Chewbacca or Yoda. The Steam Punk variety of these re-creations seem to become more and more popular lately. But when an artist comes through with designs as cool as these, they deserve to be highlighted. Artist Bjornn Hurri has done just that, and this gallery is sick!!!! Since Luke, R2D2 & Darth Vader are missing I would venture to guess that Hurri is not done yet. Click after the jump to see all of your favorite characters from a galaxy far, far away given the old Steam Punk once over...

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...

Tommy Lombardozzi is a great friend of mine and contributor to the greatness that is CCD. His 'Artin' It Up' posts highlighted some of the great original art that he has done and boy is some of it breath taking!!! After everybody pushing and prodding him for years to get his shit on some prints so people could buy them, him and fellow CCD contributor Kristen Grillo have launched Tommy Lombardozzi.com, where you can order some of Tommy's very special prints. Here are a few of my favorites:

Yoda

Now, you can order prints in 8x10, 8.5x11, 11x14, 16x20, and even 20x24!!! Tommy even does commissions if you want something special, but I bet you will have a hard time not ordering 50 of these prints to adorn your walls. Buy some for yourself, buy some for your friends... shit, buy some for the kid down the street. Go ahead and support our man Tommy... and tell em Mike D & CCD sent you!!!

P.S.- Check out this cool ass pic Tommy drew of me... damn, that's a mighty good looking blogger right there!!!!

This Is The Cover Of Todays NY Post... And It's Awesome!!!

The NY Post is a tabloid, which is different then a newspaper. It means that while they report the news similar to a newspaper, they have the freedom to take some artistic liberties that newspapers like the NY Times would never take. This shows up mostly in creative headlines and covers. None have ever been better then the cover of today's sports section. It is in reference to this weekends Jets vs Patriots playoff matchup and it uses a Star Wars: Return of the Jet-i theme... oh yeah, and its awesome!

Why is this great? Here are my reasons:

1. Mark Sanchez as Luke and Bill Belicheck as Darth Vader. The Pats have pretty much owned Sanchez, so calling Belicheck his daddy may be an unintentional dig on the Jets QB by the hometown paper.
2. Rex Ryan as Han Solo. That is wonderful. I would have liked it if the big mouth Jets coach was Jabba the Hut, but whatever.
3. Ryan's foot fetish loving wife as Slave Leia... perfect.
4. Revis as Obi Wan.... nice touch.
5. The old sage Joe Namanth as Yoda... thats great.
6. The Jets logo (a jet) attacking the Death Star is cool.
7. Why does Tom Brady have no costume. They should have made him Vader and Belicheck The Emperor. Either that or Boba Fett. Even though Brady is nowhere near as useless as Fett (Brady is a football god), Fett is amazingly popular.
8. Where is Chewy, The Droids and the aforementioned Boba Fett!!!!!! You can't have a Return of the Jedi without those guys
9. This is the 3rd matchup of these teams this week, and Jedi is the 3rd Star Wars flick... good matchup!

Very clever... well done NY Post. The game is on Sunday. I hope the Pats kill the Jets. Long Live the Dark Side!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even Vader Wants To Kill Jar Jar... Get Em Boba!!!

Hey, Episode 1 haters... suck on this one time!!! 

Check out this cool Lego Star Wars short movie by M2Films entitled Bombad Bounty that re-imagines some key elements of the original Star Wars trilogy... by adding the clueless Jar Jar Binks into the mix (I wish I could see Joe Esq face as he read that last sentence... the smoke must be pouring out of his ears!!!) Now, before you guys start crying foul, understand that its a funny video, clearly made to be a joke, and that Jar Jar is a clueless baffoon. You gotta love Vader's arm cast, the Millenium Falcon guitar, the Indiana Jones rock mowing down Boba Fett on the Death Star, and Yoda on drums... great, funny video all around. Great job guys. Keep em coming!!!



Ok Joe, eevn you gotta admit that was a funny video, in spite of Jar Jar... no? Tell us in the comment section below!!!
