I just love the simplicity of these bare-bones Star Wars… character posters by Sam Serling-Sutton.

Each set of 6 posters boils down Luke, Vader, Han, Chewie, C-3PO and R2-D2 to their barest of essences. Best of all, the set of 11×17 posters will run you just $12 bucks, so with

These wacky iPhone cases from Japan’s iMeshi are completely impractical. Not only do they not really do much to protect your precious glass iPhone, they make them look like something you could eat, but you can’t.

According to the product description, these phone cases are based on “some of the …

The children of the 80s, all grown up. I hope they have pixelated bouquets and jewelry as well.…
