There’s a Vin Diesel movie for everyone. He was Riddick, Toretto, the Iron Giant, he was Groot! I mean who wouldn’t love a guy who accepted our invite to come play DnD with us?
Vin Diesel’s xXx first came out in 2002, and now 15 years later, Xander Cage is back with the aptly named xXx: The Return of Xander Cage. With so many franchises under his belt you’d think Vin Diesel art tributes would be aplenty but that was not the case. However, the fan art that I did find went above and beyond — it’s nice to see fans turn out such quality homages. Welcome back, Xander Cage.
Vin Diesel Mona Lisa Mug by Gwenys
This meme has been turned into a mug for your coffee and I can’t stop staring at it. It’s wrong, yet so right. Are the eyes following me? I think I’ve had too much caffeine.
Vin Diesel Pillow by PopTeeCush
When people come to visit it always helps to put out your best decor for all to see. These fabulous black and grey pillows will look great on your couch and hey, like any good wish, if you send it out into the aether maybe it will come true.
Vin Diesel String Art by CvernArt
When I came across this string art of Vin Diesel’s face I was stunned. Handcrafted with just one piece of sewing thread, this portrait is made by wrapping it around each nail placed on a round frame. The thread is overlaid over and over until the image is achieved. It’s a true work of art.
Vin Diesel Cross Stitch by Hippy Witch
There are tributes and then there are tributes. This cross stitch is so well done that it looks photorealistic. At first I thought it was a screen print but no, it’s just a talented cross-stitcher with a whole lot of patience.
Space is limited when it comes to collectibles so if you must have a cardboard standee of Vin Diesel in your home, why not go the economical route and get a mini 24-inch version? Think of it, he can hang out on your mantle, play with your cat or even stand guard in your window. It’s all the Vin Diesel you can handle while taking up a minimal amount of space.
