These Star Wars portraits are the original pieces that I did for the latest Maverix Art Auction, held last night. Additionally, I submitted three signed and framed prints from my Dad’s Elephant Book.
Over this past week I rented and watched the original three Star Wars movies, and as I’d already been doodling the characters, I decided to tidy up a few and submit them to the show, when I couldn’t think of any better ideas. The Princess LEIA was won by Mike Murnane, The YODA by Hop Matsuo, and the LUKE by Bosco Ng. I am happy to say that I won some GREAT pieces myself and I will have a full report on the Auction in a few days, when the all numbers are tallied up and the photographs come in… So Stay tuned!
(PS: Check out this post for my version of Han Solo and Chewbacca.)
“Buy me, you will…”
“Bought me, you have…”
Nice pieces! Luke has a Mort Drucker-ish feel to me.
Your Star Wars stuff was AWESOME. I agree with the Mort Drucker feel on Luke. Too bad there wasn’t a Chewie in the mix, I would have fought hard to win THAT auction.
John, my version of Chewie is HERE.
Nice drawrings! I especially like the simple shape and expression on Yoda.
Thanks for the feedback, everyone! I am glad that you liked these. I may do some more STAR WARS geek-sketches in future. I want to push them a bit further into JAMIE goof-ball territory.
