Punk Leia Art Inspires Awesome Punk Leia Cosplay

So here's something fun:

Gallery 1998 hosted a Star Wars "Art Awakens" exhibit and charity auction in November, and this was one of my favorite pieces:

 
 "Rebel" by Julian Callos


Then last Friday my favorite cosplay photographer, David Ngo, snapped THIS awesomeness at SacAnime:

AWWW YISSSSS.

Don't you love it when geek life imitates geek art? :D


Of course, now I want to make one of those vests for everyday wear...

  5. Maybe this will convince my wife how much I need an embroidery machine, so I can make those patches! If it works, I'll totally send you some! [I wouldn't hold my breath, though - I've been making this pitch for years...]
    Though looking at them, most look screen-printed. Especially Max Rebo, and it totally looks like a Ska band logo... :-)
