Etsy user Harshness has a pretty great set of prints up at his online store, treating a wide array of nerdy subjects — X-Men, Game of Thrones, and Star Wars are all represented heavily — with minimalist aesthetics and inspiration from vintage travel, film and propaganda posters. His latest project is a series of ten prints paying homage to weaponry from across the worlds of fantasy, science fiction, comic books and cartoons, and we think they’re pretty enough to share with you. Especially this original phaser, and the amazing Mjolnir print that you’ll have to check out the rest of the gallery to see.

I mean, it's hard to make lightsabers look bad, but these look really, really good.

No. 4 | Ma'Tok Staff
