Mash-Up: Star Wars / Christmas Story

"It’s a major award!" by Gordon Tarpley

"So, based on a joke my wife (total genius) made about 9 months ago, I made a Star Wars Christmas Story leg-lamp crossover from parts I had around the house. Not permanent, but fun. The parts will be returned to their proper builds in a few days.

I HAVE been planning on making a permanent version ever since she first mentioned it months ago. After this picture was posted on facebook, there have been TONS of responses asking where I got it, which has given me the motivation to build the actual lamp for next December (2013)

Starting in January I'll be sculpting new, original parts from scratch and posting loads progress photos of the entire build here."

Typography: Cosmic Sans

“Cosmic Sans” by Brad McNally

Designer and space enthusiast Brad McNally had a dream, and he sent that dream out into the world on Twitter: “I want to make an awesome version of Comic Sans called Cosmic Sans.” People read this tweet and got excited. So Brad’s wife (and owner of Constellation & Co.) Sara McNally set out to plan this thing! We sent out a call for entries and filled our roster in under 48 hours. We were inspired to organize this show by other rad collaborative projects like The Everywhere Project, The Momentus Project, and 50 and 50.
