DC Comics x Converse All Star High Top Sneaker Collection

Check out this awesome collaboration between DC Comics and Converse! Converses’ classic high top All Star Chuck Taylors have been redesigned to feature three of the DC Universe’s biggest stars: Superman, Batman and Green Lantern. I understand Green Lantern’s inclusion with his upcoming movie, but why in the world they didn’t also release a Wonder Woman design is beyond me.

Mondo Star Wars Screen Print Series #3 - Father: Encounter on Dagobah by Tomer Hanuka

The third screen print in the Mondo Star Wars Screen Print Series was unveiled yesterday and it is entitled “Father: Encounter on Dagobah.” "Father: Encounter on Dagobah" by Tomer Hanuka features Luke Skywalker, with Yoda on his back, walking through the Dagobah swampland and envisioning Darth Vader in the distant landscape. We’re now three prints into this amazing series, and this is definitely The Blot’s favorite Star Wars print to date!

Mondo Star Wars Screen Print Series #3 - Father: Encounter on Dagobah by Tomer Hanuka
According to the Tomer, “the central idea going into this image was depicting planet Dagobah itself as a portrait of Luke’s subconscious in its most interesting and unformed phase. In a nightmarish sequence, Luke runs into the mist where he thinks he saw Vader. Luke finds him and a lightsaber duel ends with Vader’s decapitation. The mask cracks open on the severed head, exposing the frozen face of a dead Luke Skywalker. The suggestion here is that somewhere within Luke’s psyche there is a potential for ultimate evil. Luke’s greatest challenge isn’t the Galactic Empire and its endless, faceless troopers, but the magnetism of the dark side; the seductive idea of choosing his own potential for power over everything else.” (link)

“Father: Encounter on Dagobah” by Tomer Hanuka is a hand numbered 19″x25″ screen print with a limited edition run size of 250. Each print retails for $50 and can be purchased directly from Mondo Tees at a random time today, July 29th, here.
