December 2012 calendar wallpaper

So once again, we've got to the point in the year where there's just four weeks until Christmas (gasp!). So, in the spirit of getting festive, without going as far as cracking open the eggnog (shudder), I have put together a winter wallpaper to share with you (hooray!).

The wallpapers are set at various sizes and can be downloaded from Smashing Magazine. Fancy one without a calendar? No problem, there's a bunch of those uploaded too.

Enjoy!

When the rebel scum aren't not around

George Lucas hasn't exactly made the wisest move in his recent re-tinkering of the Star Wars films, a re-tinkering which was a re-tinkering before the re-tinkering before that… basically there was a whole load of tinkering. But, to be fair, his smartest decision was to secure the licensing rights to the Star Wars merchandise. A move that the studio believed to be worthless; he had waived his director's fee in the negotiation, what were they to miss out on?

Lego for some time has released a plethora of Star Wars figures, as well as vehicles big enough to fill a child's room. But you knew that already, and if you didn't have you been on planet Hoth all this time? There's been plenty of homages to the loveable characters, but for me, none quite so inventive in the way Vesa Lehtimäki has photographed them. Shot for his Lego on Hoth book, Vesa brings charm and macro brilliance to the iconic action figures, and looked like he had a heck of a lot of fun in the process.
