If Star Wars Were Made by Studio Ghibli - Illustrations byLap Pun Cheung

Ryan Nance February 23, 2016

Very much in the visual style of Studio Ghibli (creators of Totoro, Spirited Away and Princess Mononoke), illustrator Lap Pun Cheung brings us some tasty scenes of the Star Wars epic that I will gladly watch all over again if ever it is remade this way.

Draw Homer - Artists from Around the World

Ryan Nance April 29, 2013

From the project page:​

The Mission

“Draw Homer” is an art project of world domination. 

We want the very best artists from all over the globe to draw Homer. Our ultimate goal is to have Matt Groening himself drawing one.

When we achieved our goal, we will make an art exhibition with the best Homers. And the best of the very best will get a really nice prize we cannot talk about yet.
