Lawrence Noble has created a 4 foot tall 150 pound Darth Vader bronze statue. The statue was created for Lucasfilm’s Presidio headquarters, but a limited edition of 30 numbered statues are being made available on StarWars.com for only $18,000. Each statue was forged and assembled at a foundry close to Lucasfilm’s Presidio campus, the same foundry responsible for producing several of the other bronzes adorning the parkland property the company occupies. Each bronze also received an individualized patina, making each piece a unique work of art unlike any other.

The inspiration for this Vader bronze, which was modeled after the Dark Lord’s appearance in The Empire Strikes Back, ironically came from [...]

The Drafthouse is holding a special screening to celebrate the grand opening on Arcade UFO in Austin. The poster will also be hand signed by the artist. You might be wondering why we’re posting a Cool Stuff on the weekend.

Jim Hance created this wonderful parody of Leonardo Da Vinci’s famous painting The Mona Lisa using Princess Leia from George Lucas’ Star Wars. The paining recently sold on ETSY, and unfortunately Jim has promised to never duplicate the design or make prints. The Mona Leia is hand painted with acrylics on canvas board, and framed in a Gold painted wooden frame with gray accents. Here is Jim’s official bio:

“Jim has been a whirlwind of artistic creativity, selling hand painted originals and commissions worldwide. Jim specialises in slightly ‘twisted’ art (or ‘twart’, if you will), be it Laurel & Hardy in a Mexican stand-off, or a scenic portrait of an ‘At-At’ [...]

Gallery 1988: LA will be holding Crazy 4 Cult 2 on Friday, August 22nd from 7-11pm. Basically, it’s a pop culture-infused art show hosted by Kevin Smith and Scott Mosier. The first show featured anything from Jay and Silent Bob to oil paintings of the guys from Shaun of the Dead playing with toys. A couple weeks ago we gave you an exclusive look at Andrew Wilson’s insane poster for the event (which you will be able to purchase on stuff88.com next week). Today we bring you an exclusive preview of some of the great art at this year’s event.

We somehow missed this at Comic Con, but Eric Tan has created another wonderful retro-styled poster, this time for Pixar’s upcoming film Up. I’m a huge fan of Tan’s art, and in the past we’ve spotlighted his work for past Pixar productions, Indiana Jones, and X-Men. Like Tan’s work form WALL-E, the new art seems to be partly inspired by the old ride attraction posters at Disneyland, as well as retro styled travel posters. Also of note, the creases are actually part of the art.
