Last weekend my wife, my mother and I travelled from The Netherlands to London to meet up with my Australian cousins. I was pretty keen to check out some famous comic stores like Forbidden Planet and Orbital, hoping to find some vintage SW and old Superman comics. I was pretty disappointed in the end with what I saw in regards to SW vintage – lamely spearheaded by a loose Taun Taun without its accessories that was selling for 18 pounds at Orbital. I guess they have their overheads to cover…

We did though go on a street art tour around Shoreditch in East London, an area that ‘Banksy’ helped to make famous for street art.  We saw three very cool works related to SW and we were extremely impressed.

If you ever come across any cool SW street art, send it in and I’ll post it on the site!

The first piece was my favourite and was put up by a famous Parisian street artist named ‘Space Invader’. What I particularly like about this work of art is that Luke (Farmboy) is actually holding the correct colour lightsaber, unlike his vintage figure representation.

Visit  Space Invader’s site if you want to see more of his great retro style street designs:

The second piece was an awesome stencil by the very well known artist Paul Don Smith. Batman fans will also love this…

I’m not sure who the artist was of the below pieces though. I’m pretty sure Bruce will like one of them….
