    Some of it is very Banksy-esque; especially some of the stuff not featured in the gallery but on the clickthrough. Indeed, some of it is straight-up pastiche.

    If you've ever watched Robot Chicken's Star Wars, number 5 has to be your top pick.
    IT'S A TRAP!

    16 is far and away my favorite, but Number 12 is going to haunt my dreams tonight. (Is it a rabbit, is it Yoda? AND WHY DOESN'T IT HAVE A FACE?)

    @Ruthless, If you let me: For some reason, I find it slightly less disturbing, though only slightly. Perhaps it is the charming little striped epaulettes. I still don't want to be in that guy's dreamscape, is all I'm saying...

    I like the Civil War inspired ones. There's something intriguing about the mash up. And the fact that the artists didn't try to make them some sort of Steampunk copy.

    16 kinda blows my mind. I love it.

    EDIT: And it is already sold! That would have been my Christmas present to myself this year.

    @LittleDragon: Maybe; I'm feeling generous this holiday season. I have a lot less expenses in the last couple of months and I'm trying to do "the economy" a favor. What better way than to support some kick ass art?
