Yes all roads lead to Star Wars. It's kind of odd really, Kevin Bacon should feel jealous. I know when I google the oddest things, inevitably I'm linked to Star Wars.

While looking up Photoshop techniques, I came across this.
Photoshop 'exists because of Star Wars'


I must admit the first time I heard about the Hilton sisters I thought people were referring to The Hilton Sisters.
The musical Siamese twins that did sideshows and vaudeville in the late 20's and 30's.
They appeared in Todd Browning's masterpiece movie Freaks. And yes, I can even make a Star Wars connection here. One of the freaks was legless and walked on his hands and has often been said to be an influence on the design of R2-D2

About Me

My photo
Paul Allan Ballard
I'm a freelance illustrator currently working on several projects. I just recently finished doing promotional artwork for Indiana Jones IV. My free time I used to spend at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. In the past I've taught art classes there, given tours, designed worksheets, and helped out with their websites. My influences are from magazines and ephemera especially from around the turn of the century. I have done cover art for NASA, Sketchcards for Topps, comic book covers for Red 5 comics, and Collectible Card game art for Fantasy Flight Games.
