Tribal Star Wars Masks by Daniel Newman

Not the Star Wars characters you're used to, but amazing art and a unique look for the gang. True, there is a lot of fan art for Star Wars out there, but in a way its really cool to see people reproducing content from the movies years after they've cooled off with their own design spin on things.  Fan art doesn't just keep Star Wars as a brand alive, but it provides for new appreciation for Star Wars characters that we all love.  I can say that I've had a TON of toys and played a good number of Star Wars video games because I love the franchise that much.

Daniel Newman does a fine job with his self-proclaimed "Quakerwars" set in detailing the heck out of some of these characters.  Tribal and raw.  George Lucas, please consider using Daniel's version of Darth Vader for your next film.

Simply Amazing: "Jaws" Movie Poster Re-Design by Strong Stuff

This is one of those posters that leaves me mostly speechless, mostly with one of those "dang, thats so clever" moments.  Re-designing a movie poster opens new doors since the public, fans of the film in particular, are already aware of the story, famous scenes, and the movie in general.  And I love it when an artist ties together a particular scene or visually summarizes the movie as well as Strong Stuff  (aka Tom Whalen) has done here.  Check out Strong Stuff's website and DeviantArt for more.  And Jesus, I do pray that these get printed.

An Inspiring Story of an Unofficial John Butler Trio Poster designed by a fan

As a fan of the John Butler Trio, Brennan Gilbert designed an unofficial poster for the band as a personal project and emailed it over to their manager in the hopes that the band might actually check out his fan art.  Well, they nearly went for printing it out as an official poster.  Read more about the process and the story on Brennan Gilbert's Design Blog.

Here's the original version of the poster Brennan sent out to the band.

Moral of the story: if you're a fan of something and made some art of it that you're proud of, trying sending it through.
