We recently learned what superheroes might have looked like when they were young (actually before they were born). Now we get to see the evil characters from Star Wars when they were little kids.

You'll find Sith Lord Darth Vader melting some MSE-6 repair droids with a magnifying glass, bounty hunter extraordinaire Boba Fett with a carbonite-filled balloon, a celebrating  Tusken Raider beating on a piñata , and a slithering Jabba the Hutt after a long day at the amusement park.

These prints were created by the artist collective known only as the Octopus Tree House (I'm guessing this means that there are 4 or 8 artists involved). There are four of these prints available through their Etsy store, all of them strangely cute. Each of these prints is available for $20 (USD), or you can buy all four for $70.

Fans of the Mario games looking for some art for their rooms should definitely check out this awesome bit of fan art by digital artist Ken Wong.
This single image, simply titled Mario Dreams, is jam-packed with characters from the Mario universe, all drawn with a whimsical and dreamy cartoony style that I'd personally love to see Nintendo use in an upcoming Mario game. I'm not holding my breath, but thankfully I can still have this poster for my wall.

Mario Dreams is available in high quality giclée prints in 12″x18″ ($20 USD), 18″ x24″ ($40) and 24″ x 36″ ($80) sizes over at inPRNT.

I'm not sure from whence this Pac-Man ghost dress originated, but it's pretty great. I especially like the pixelated fringing on the bottom of this short little number, done up to look like Inky, the cyan ghost.

All I know is that it's way cuter, and more accurate than this one (and who here knew that Newegg sold costumes?) Now if you could only stop staring at her eyes…
