Posted by Michael Pinto on Nov 27, 2011 in Star Trek
What I like about these Kirk and Spock Christmas Tree Ornaments is that they have a nice sense of style — they almost look art deco, yet are very cartoony and almost toy like. These ornaments are hand crafted by Lisa Penney who is based out of Phoenix, Arizona. Read more… Red Shirt Bunny is Expendable, Spock Bunny Less So…

An average bunny can live for over ten years — however sadly a Star Trek red shirt bunny might not last more than ten seconds if beamed down to the wrong planet! This cute creature is the handy work of Jennifer Hugon who has a shop on Etsy called Woolykins. Logically her collection also includes a Spock bunny as well: Read more… These Ghetto Star Wars Prints are Pimped Up

Harshness by Harshness is a shop on Etsy that features a number of wonderfully done culture jamming art prints — my favorite set deals with “ghetto Star Wars” and features appearances from everyone from a hip hop Yoda to a Jack Daniels drinking Darth Vader.

Both the Disney and Apple fanboy in me fell in love with this Snow White MacBook laptop skin decal that I spotted on Etsy. To me an appreciation of old school Disney is what sets the casual fans apart from the real connoisseurs, and if you love the medium you’ve got to worship Snow White for the landmark film that it was.

I’ve seen a great deal of geek shaped soap in my day, but the added touch of making this faux BlackBerry scented with blackberries is genius! Produced by the Two Eggplants Company this BlackBerry PDA Phone Soap shows some nice detail on the keyboard and even includes a screen full of mock icons: Read more… Has Star Wars Gone to the Dogs?

Commissioned over 100 years ago in 1903 the paintings by C. M. Coolidge which are collectively now known as Dogs Playing Poker is a cornerstone of pure(bred) Americana. But as good as those doggies were, I belive that an America of the 21st Century needs a more modern for of kitsch — and thus I nominate this Ultimate Boston Terrier Star Wars Dog Art Set for the honor. Lavishly illustrated by Brian Rubenacker this set of prints captures the canine side of Darth, Boba, Princess, Obi-Wan and Yoda. Read more… |
