If there's one thing the Internet loves, it's Star Wars. That's why, when executed well, incorporating its characters into ads or photo shoots makes a great deal of sense. For its 2011 Fall/Winter Originals Collection, Adidas just released another collaborative project with the successful franchise. This time, they… Continue
If you're a fan of Disney mash-ups (see Disney/Marvel mashup here), we'll guarantee that you'll love this set by 30-year-old Nathan Boyd.

If you were in New York City when it got hit with last year's crazy snowstorm, you'll know that the streets looked like something out a movie.

We give major props to British artist Olly Moss for these awesome see-through Star Wars posters. Colorful silhouettes of C-3PO, Darth Vader and Boba Fett are filled in with detailed imagery from Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi.
Just when we thought we'd seen every art and photography spin on Star Wars characters, Fabian Glez surprises us with these! He even gave them hilarious font-related names like Boba Font, C3typo, and Sanstrooper. On "Font Vader" alone, he used 25 different fonts to create the masterpiece!
It's not often that we see a building look so sinister and cool. Portugal-based OODA Architecture, in collaboration with the Spanish and American studio OOIIO, proposed this star-shaped tower, which looks like it could be the headquarters for the evilest villain in… Continue
Immediately after completing an amazing set of vintage travel planet posters, illustrator Steve Thomas started looking for a new project.

The mailman must look forward to stopping by Craig Smith's house every day. Smith turned his ordinary looking mailbox into an extraordinary work of art, in the shape of a Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter.
"I made this so long ago, it is actually in need of weathering repairs and repainting," says Smith. "I never expected it to survive vandalism or theft for half… Continue
