I've been a Star Wars fan for as long back as I can remember. The original trilogy shaped a lot of my childhood and creative imagination. There was a great deal of fantastic design work associated with the films and here's a collection of some of it, mostly found online.
Early logo before the more commonly-known yellow on black letters came to be.
Poster for NPR's radio dramatization of Star Wars by illustrator Celia Strain. See more of her work at comicartfans.com
My all-time favorite Star Wars poster, from Israel.
The Italian design is also great. I love the creative liberties taken by the artist.

Incredible comic book ad showing off a ton of Star Wars toys.
And perhaps the most bizarre of all, this poster with C3PO and R2D2 asking parents to make sure their children have been immunized!

4 stamps from a 6-stamp set from Laos, celebrating the 200th anniversary of the inaugural hot air balloon flight in Paris, 1783. This illustration style isn't really common in Laos, so I'm wondering if the artist was French. If anyone has any information on these stamps, please send it on over!

Unless you've been dodging the news for the last few days, you probably heard that artist David Choe landed himself in a little bit of money. Either way, we're super happy for this super talented dude and can't wait to see what's next for him. Earlier this week, he told Howard Stern he was the best face-painter since Peter North and carried Barbara Walters around New York doing graffiti all in the span of about two hours. Not bad at all. Back in December 2008, we had the opportunity to create one of our most ambitious screenprinted projects with David. He came to Minneapolis and looked on as we laid down the final 18th layer of ink on the screenprinted rendition of his ""Exodus From The Land of Play"" painting.
