Old-school Star Wars, Lego graffiti, & more
Mo' betta illustration:
- Star Wars goes old old school Euro in Baroque Wars. (Dig that crazy Death Star.) [Via] Coincidentally I just stumbled across this Wikipedia-hosted rendering of similar-looking Landsknechte mercenaries.
- If, like me, you're a no-good, non-gift-buying slacker, you can try to compensate by banging out festive imagery for loved ones. These Photoshop brushes could help. [Via] (I'm doing a mid-day mall sprint after publishing this; hopefully my boss isn't keeping up on the blog. ;-P)
- Street art :
- A graffiti artist has found Jesus in the urban landscape. [Via]
- Legos visit the Summer of Sam era with some stop-motion train-tagging. (In light of recent world history, I wouldn't be tossing around the phrase "train bombing" myself.)
- Tyskie Beer commissioned some crafty flag renderings using its packaging as raw materials.
- Kavel Rafferty offers "A reference for vinyl geeks and graphic artists" in Record Envelope--a whole blog devoted to record sleeve art. I like the big-mouthed Knäppupp in particular. [Via]
- The opening of Mark Ovenden's Transit Maps of the World features a groovy subway map of the world. (I take a weird pleasure in San José appearing (with accent!) on the map, but SF getting shut out.) [Via]
- Hire An Illustrator will help you... um... bury people in Grant's Tomb? (Maybe it'll just help you hire an illustrator.)
- Edward Hann's Internally Displaced People '06 attempts "to demonstrate the scale of humanitarian crisis in Western Darfur and Eastern Chad," and a quarter of the profits from its sale go to Amnesty International. [Via] It's too bad that the Web presentation makes it hard to see the work in detail, as I can't really assess how it's tackling the problem.

SF is there, its above Sacramento.

awesome links!
Yes, there are a few other kinks in the subway lines - my town, Grenoble (and its fast-world-famous tramway ;o), is showed west of Lyon eg (for the european-geographically-challenged, we're 100km east of Lyon), like Wien/Vienna being shown east of BudaPest.
But anyway I do draw maps for a living, and also know this may only be some (far) degree of generalization!
Thanks for all the cool infos (including this one)!
