As shared by Digg: Redditor DaveRuinsArt, proprietor of Arrowhead Vintage & Handmade Goods in Canton, Ohio, made excellent use of his quarantine time by adding Star Wars vehicles and characters to unsold thrift store landscape paintings.

“I started making these designs because I owned a vintage store and had some really beautiful landscapes but I couldn’t sell for $5,” he explained in an email to Digg. “I think I had one for two years and was thinking about just throwing it away and keeping the frame but I decided to give it a shot and added an ATST that had fallen over with Ewoks fishing off of it.”

His viral paintings have been a blessing, he notes, as the coronavirus has been a challenge to his business.
“All the positive love from Reddit [has] been really good,” he said. “I’m overwhelmed right now because I’m immunocompromised and can’t hire anyone to work so it’s going to be a fun challenge to keep up but I’m so glad to have work right now. This all couldn’t have come at a better time!
