John Nack on Adobe: Great Star Wars-related art

Legal

The views expressed in this blog are my own and do not necessarily reflect the views of Adobe Systems Incorporated.

Something about the Star Wars franchise continues to inspire all kinds of creativity:

Ryan Church has created amazing concept art for Star Wars Episodes II & III. Corel profiles Ryan on their Painter site, and on his site he discusses some details of how he uses Painter and Photoshop together.
On Wicked Crispy Jeff Vector creates ridiculously cute versions of famous characters (among other things). Dig that Jabba! [Via]
If those are up your alley, check out Matt Dawson's simian droids.
ILM artist Matt Busch has created a print & video series of Star Wars drawing tips for kids. [Via]
CNET features a collection of pimped Darth helmets. (How about this face welcoming newcomers to the NY harbor?) On a related note, how about a Vader-head hot air balloon? [Via Ellis Vener]
Okay, I'm cheating a little with this inclusion, but I marvel that someone can make an entire blog devoted to bad Spock drawings (which should be “Sloppy, as if a chimp with metal hooks for hands dipped them in ink”). [Via] I wonder whether laser-etched Spock matzoh qualifies.

Thanks for the bad Spock link. Cheating's OK when the cause is good. :)
