More samples of the art over at /film.
The show opens on July 9th with a reception hosted by Kevin Smith.
Star Wars Victorian Portraits
Some say that George Lucas made the original Star Wars film so that it could be watched as a silent film and you’d still be able to follow the action. Because of that, it’s always had a little bit of a Victorian feel to it for me. Now someone has rendered main Star Wars characters as Victorian Portraits. Somehow it just feels right.

Worst Opening Sentence Contest Winner
This year’s winner of the 2010 Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest have been announced.
An international literary parody contest, the competition honors the memory (if not the reputation) of Victorian novelist Edward George Earl Bulwer-Lytton (1803-1873). The goal of the contest is childishly simple: entrants are challenged to submit bad opening sentences to imaginary novels.
