“If you go home with somebody, and they don't have books, don't fuck them.”
--- John Waters
We think geeky is TOTALLY sexy… and you know how we feel about design. So if you’re producing design ideas that somehow tightly marry sophisticated attention to detail with Star Wars references, you’ve got our attention.. and our hearts. These holiday cards, a series of three from up and coming design house PREACHER, arrived just in time for Christmas… and to save us from monotony and tired offerings of the season.
Each card displays a different, beautifully illustrated snowflake constructed using iconic imagery of George Lucas’s spaceship designs from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. At first glance, the card series, riffing off the traditional Peace, Joy, Hope season’s greetings standard and drolly named [A New] Hope in witty reference to the often forgotten subtitle of the original film, views as a pretty but traditional trio of wintery snowflakes; the real joy of the collection, though, is in the details. Fanboys and girls will spot R2 in the back of the X-wing and rejoice the inclusion of the under appreciated Y-wing Starfighter, but everyone should swoon over the line work of the always geeky, sexy, cool Millennium Falcon. The Force is strong with this one. Happy Holidays!
