Inception Arthur and Eames Block Print

Inception Block PrintContinuing my trend of catching up on last year’s must-see films, I finally sat down to watch Inception. Holy moly, did it blow my mind! Visuals, characters, story, it had it all, not to mention an ending that will have you mulling for days.

Amber Whitney, a Juneau, Alaska-based illustrator, captured two of my favorite Inception characters – Eames and Arthur – in this eye-catching block print. I can’t decide what I like the best, the shadows of their faces, the details of their clothes, or the maze-like style of the ampersands.

Drop by her Etsy store, Unicorn Empire Prints, and see her other block print offerings, including some truly beautiful Sherlock Holmes pieces and some fun homages to Star Trek.

‘Inception’ Paper Sculpture

inception_paper_cuttingCheck out this paper sculpture of THE coolest fight scene ever!

ld posted this over at Craftster, with bigger pictures on LiveJournal. Inspired by the hallway scene of Inception, it’s made out of a single piece of card stock, with no adhesives. I absolutely love this, because it’s 1) an amazing piece of art and 2) because this is my favorite scene in the whole movie. When I saw the thumbnail on Craftster, I immediately knew what it was.  ld has even more amazing Inception paper sculptures at LiveJournal, and they are just as cool.
