The ‘Star Wars Alphabet’ is yet another awesome creation dedicated to the epic series of sci-fi films. ‘Star Wars’ has changed pop culture, which is a concept that artist Brand Peat capitalizes on in this collection.
In a culture where almost anything can be ‘Star Wars’-ified, Brandon Peat does it right. The ‘Star Wars Alphabet’ goes through all 26 letters of the English language, matching each letter to a character. Check out the featured gallery for a sample of the ‘Star Wars Alphabet’ series.
19. $1,000 Chocolate Boxes
Most forget just how much good quality treats cost, but it’s rare to spend as much on a box of chocolates as one must for the larger collections offered by Michel Cluizel Chocolates. At $975, you get a five-tier hatbox full of almost 6kg of your choice of truffles.
The colossal chocolate box above is the second most expensive option, at $795 with 400 individual pieces. Nothing says “I love you” like a $1,000 cocoa care package from Michel Cluizel Chocolates!

17. Ethereal Cosmetic Campaigns
I think this Lady Gaga Viva Glam ad is one of the rare times we’ve seen this superstar looking relatively normal and ladylike. In absolutely stunning fashion, she strikes a solo pose, unlike her last stint for MAC with Cyndi Lauper.
Photographed by Nick Knight and styled by Nicola Formichetti, the Lady Gaga Viva Glam campaign will surely raise even more money for the MAC AIDS fund—especially considering that her last campaign for the brand was the most successful ever.
16. Steampunk Mechanical Horses
Andrew Chase has done it again, this time with his steampunk mechanical horse. In addition to his cheetah and elephant, Chase may soon be able to open up a most unique zoo.
Of course, if it were up to Andrew Chase, this zoo will be comprised of only the most exotic of animals. Why? As Chase says, “The problem is/was that everyone knows what a horse looks like, so I couldn’t cheat (much).”

7. Chair-Straddling Popstars
Showing off the darker, more mysterious side of this popstar’s sexuality, the Katy Perry Maxim covershoot will have guys (and girls) begging for more. Although Mrs. Brand is known for her sensuality, it’s usually portrayed in a very cutesy way. Now a married woman, she’s graduated from hot, vivacious girl to hot, vivacious lady.
Photographed by Yu Tsai, the Katy Perry Maxim editorial will be part of the January 2011 issue.

2. Whimsical Food Photography
German artist Sarah Illenberger has a series of posters dedicated to making food appear as recognizable objects.
Illenberger chooses familiar motifs and objects, and recreates them using fruits and vegetables. The result is a visually colorful display of images that’s creative and fun to look at. Transforming a watermelon into a cloud raining seeds and a tomato into a grenade, this simplistic approach truly says that less is more.
1. Bold Tea Party Photography
Photographer Lynsie Roberts is more than just savvy with a camera lens—she’s carving her name into the Toronto fashion and fine art scene with her uniquely colorful photographs.
