George Lucas Strikes Back of the Day: Star Wars creator George Lucas has been trying for years to convert a large parcel of land in Marin County, California into a 300,000 square foot movie studio, with amenities including a day care center, restaurants, a gym and a parking garage, only to be shot down by his wealthy neighbors.
Because the local homeowners’ association has refused to let Lucas move forward with the studio, he’s decided to put the land to good use by transforming it into low-income housing, simultaneously doing a good deed and trolling his fellow landowners.
“If everyone feels that housing is less impactful on the land, then we are hoping that people who need it the most will benefit,” Lucas snarked.
He’s even donating the various studies and surveys he paid for while working on the movie studio project, to help the new housing development get underway more quickly.

Prince as a Purple Leopard in a Purple Forest at dusk by sleepybowie
Prince is a purple leopard. His sassy spots add a new dimension to the artist.. a finer dimension. He is smiling, looking back, probably sizing some other leopard that’s eating ribs and stretching out their spots. That was a little much.
This is an original watercolor on 8 x 10 in paper.
Big props go to Ben for alerting me to this site. I may start some sort of Etsy bidding war with him on this piece as well.
Happy Birthday John Muir!
The pioneering naturalist whose efforts helped to created Yosemite and Sequoia National Parks was born in Scotland on April 21, 1838. He is shown here in this undated photo (4th from right) with Teddy Roosevelt and Gifford Pinchot (1st chief of the US Forest Service).
From the series: Historic Photographs of the Forest Service, ca. 1880 - ca. 1970
