Guillermo del Toro may very well be the most busy person in Hollywood.  He’s attached to produce/write/direct/develop a multitude of projects, so when it was announced that del Toro would be producing a 3D stop-motion animated iteration of Pinocchio, the news came with the assumption that del Toro wouldn’t have a ton of time to be super hands-on with the project.  All that changed last month when it was announced that, after spending more and more time with the project, del Toro has decided to co-direct with Mark Gustafson.  Though we got our first look at some artwork from the unsurprisingly dark tale last February, some new artwork from Pinocchio has surfaced and it’s unsurprisingly gorgeous.

The image comes from EW, who notes that del Toro doesn’t plan on shooting Pinocchio until 2013 even though he recently stated he’d like to release the film in 2014.  Given that he’s currently busy with post-production on Pacific Rim and pre-production on Beauty and the Beast with Emma Watson, the 2013 start-date makes sense.  Though it appears we have quite a while to wait until we see the finished film, hit the jump to marvel at some of the enticing artwork as well as the previously released images.

SuperPunch turned up some amazing Lost-inspired artwork by artist Ty Mattson.  While we all drooled over the limited-edition Lost artwork released last year, I want to know when and where I can buy what Mattson recently created.  Mattson has designed a black-and-white illustration for each episode of season six so far and he’ll continue to do one for all those that are still remaining.  It’s exciting to see how he distills one episode into a single image that’s both striking and clever.

Hit the jump to see the images and to read my brief thoughts on this week’s episode, “Happily Ever After.”

Cliff Chiang [via Super Punch] has created three gorgeous propaganda-style posters for Topps’ new Star Wars Galaxy 5 trading cards.  These cards promote the propaganda for the Empire but Chiang teases that he wouldn’t be opposed to one day doing posters from the rebel side…

Comic book fans may be familiar with Chiang’s work from his eye-catching covers for Green Arrow & Black Canary, Gotham Central, and Detective Comics.  You can click here to buy some of his artwork and here to follow him on Twitter.

You can check out all three posters/cards after the jump.
