Darkness Falls Across The Land: 100 Years of Vincent Price

To celebrate 100th birthday of Vincent Price, Zach Bellissimo drew 100 of his roles on Sticky Notes. Naturally, who wouldn't?

My first encounter with Vincent Price was on the cheapo Canadian TV show The Hilarious House of Frightenstein. I had no idea at the time this campy host was such a horror icon.

The Son Of Clockwork Orange

From designer Jimmy Thomason: "This is my take on René Magritte’s The Son of Man, with a little Kubrick twist thrown in. I’ve always loved surrealist art and A Clockwork Orange is one of my wife’s favorite movies, so while we were talking about the movie recently, this design popped into my head."

The Galactic Empire Times

If you haven't seen this parody of the New York Times/death of Osama bin Landen, it's worth checking out. It's got online news media down to a science, complete with comments: "Why are we still giving aid to Tatooine? They probably knew of Kenobi's existence the whole time and even helped him! That whole planet is just a big hive of scum and villainy." to op-eds: "Their Only Hope: The War on the Rebllion After Obi-Wan Kenobi"

Actually, it's the comments that really make it. (Thanks, @boyreporter)
