We always had a sneaking suspicion certain Star Wars folks were not only from a galaxy far, far away, but had a secret hobby as dignified time travelers. Artist Greg Peltz must've also had this creeping feeling based on the Victorian-style prints he created of Star Wars characters ($125–$349). Chewbacca cuts a dashing profile as a be-monocled "First Mate," and naturally Jabba the Hutt's Read more
Fitness met 3D street art this week in London when the artist team of Joe and Max snagged the Guinness World Record for the largest and longest 3D street artwork.

Scientists are total rock stars. These ones in particular — Tesla, Bardeen, Einstein, Bohr, and Oppenheimer — helped to bring about things like radios, X-rays, transistors, and theories on atomic structure and relativity. You know, things we still use today, or were instrumental in advancing technology to what it is now. So treat these fine scientists to a bit of space on your wall with Read more
If you're feeling nostalgic for a Star Wars before the Blu-ray updates and computer graphic reimagery, view the characters as they would've looked a long, long time ago in a decidedly old-timey era. Graphic designer Nick Agin's Star Wars illustrations show how select characters would look through a vintage lens. We think they'd be right at home alongside galactic university scientists and Read more
