Nagel + Leia = 80’s Flashback Times 10

Filed under: Cool Tags: , — @ 3:34 pm

StarWars.com has a brief write up on two great tastes that taste awesome together. Lucas Online senior designer Craig Drake has created a Patrick Nagel inspired print of Princess Leia. It can be yours for only US $49.99. Also, check out the Leia slave girl outfit, which I had no idea you could buy up until I saw the very appropriately placed ad on this write up.

I remember downloading way to many Patrick Nagel prints on my 300 bps modem back in the day. Due to the limited color palette of his work, Nagel’s prints were easily compressed to the GIF format. This made them prevalent on every bulletin board around in the late 80’s and early 90’s. So basically Drake hit a bull’s eye here, combining two things many geeks are very familiar with.
