Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Statue Week
Our Art Appreciation Moments generally focus on the 2D art form, but it can and does encompass everything from 3D works to physical statues that one can pick up and touch, or in the case of the statue that is kicking off this week, a life-sized version of the Tooned Up Princess Leia from Gentle Giant studios.
The Good Ol’ Days: Star Wars Cast Back Then
Star Wars Cast left to right: Han Solo, Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Luke Skywalker, and R2D2
I watch the original Star Wars trilogy every couple of years, but looking at this picture of the cast from way back when, has me feeling a bit nostalgic.
Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Star Wars Party Edition
Figured if I featured Princess Leia in the last installment, better give fans some Han Solo in today’s edition of the Major Spoilers Art Appreciation Moment of the Day. Since it is a holiday weekend, and I’m feeling a little silly in the head (mostly due to having little sleep, being in a car for 6 hours, and putting up with two kids under the age of two), I give you Han Solo Keg-Meister!

Yes, I just might buy that on a t-shirt.
Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Mark Brooks
Continuing the Star Wars theme for the back half of the week, I went digging for Princess Leia pictures. Man, you don’t want to do a search for serious Princess Leia art. Bondage Leia, Topless Leia, Naked For No Reason Leia, Leia Getting It On With (INSERT ALIEN/LIGHTSABER/JEDI NAME HERE), and the list goes on and on.
Fortunately, I found this piece by Mark Brooks that he did for the Dallas Comicon.

WTF? Watchmen Pillowcases
I know George Lucas made a killing in the 70′s when he managed to secure the merchandising rights for Star Wars properties, that lead to those wonderful Star Wars bedsheets I used to have (sleeping with Princess Leia took on a whole new meaning), but check out the crazy stuff currently being hocked on eBay in an attempt to cash in on the upcoming movie.
You are bidding on a pair of standard size (18 x 28 inches) pillowcase. 100% Cotton with 200 thread count! They are very soft and comfortable since we use the highest quality of garment in the market. 100% Satisfaction guaranteed.
This unlicensed item is going to go fast, because…you know… we all like waking up to a bloody smiling face every morning. Be on the lookout for Rorschach themed bedsheets soon.
