Watercolor adds a bit of class to any image, and that definitely holds true for these paintings of characters from the Star Wars saga. Han, Vader, droids and more look fancy and even more timeless in this style. These paintings were done by Reddit user Terry Cook just for fun and there are some limited prints available if you contact him directly.

You can thank artist K.K. Jordan for this wonderful piece of fan art featuring Darth Vader facing off against the Doctor. It looks like Jordan is giving the edge to the Sonic Screwdriver, but who do you think would win this battle in the end?
Actually, Darth Vader has been picking fights with everyone today. Earlier he was spotted on the subway getting all up in Batman’s face.

Due to intense boredom and monotony, it seems that the classroom is the perfect environment to induce sleep and awaken creative inspiration. Artist Jim Rugg (Street Angel / Afrodisiac) must agree with at least one of those sentiments, because he is about to launch a new exhibition entitled “Notebook Nerd” at the IAm8Bit Gallery in Los Angeles, which features 50 comic and gaming-inspired masterpieces created with ballpoint pens and notebook paper.
The exhibition is set to open on May 25 and offers free admission. In addition, AdHouse is compiling the pieces into a reproduction of Rugg’s original notebooks, and is set to make its debut next month at HeroesCon in Charlotte, North Carolina.

You can make this 24″ x 36″ poster print your own, complete with artist signature, in his Etsy store. There’s also a fantastic video that details how this was made, from rough sketch to finished product.
