My recent Star Wars pieces aren't my first forays into expressing my Geek-itude via typography. It all started when we moved into our current apartment and decided we were done decorating our home with posters bought in the framing section at Michaels. We had been looking around for a long time trying to find a way to decorate the long, short (as in not-very-tall) section of wall over our breakfast bar.
What I came up with was a series of four prints that, framed, look a little like this:
The featured movies are Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Snatch.These hung for a long time before they started to get some admiration from visitors and I soon did The Big Lebowski and The Princess Bride prints by request as gifts for last Christmas.
When the Etsy store opens (and I have decided to do so, more to follow on that) I'll be posting some of these for sale. Here are some closeups on Fight Club, Pulp Fiction, and The Princess Bride:


I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on this style, leave me some comments. :)In other news, I've redesigned my other blog, FatBlog! as well as Kelly's, A Perfectly Paper Blog, so check out both. I have also begun work again on my action/fantasy novel, which I hope to self-publish (as in, make a few copies for myself and maybe some friends) by Christmas. The book will feature a full-cover dustjacket and chapter illustrations (a' la Harry Potter), so expect some of that work to appear here in the weeks and months to come.
I've also been thinking about participating in a Shirt.Woot Derby some time in the near future, if inspiration strikes (as if I don't have enough projects).
What's everyone else up to lately?
I love that one of your tags for this post is "profanity". That cracks me up!
