The R2-KT Artists Month rolls on into July after a successful June, giving artists the chance to show off their work to a wider audience during these difficult times. Every day through out June, R2-KT focused on a talented artist of the galaxy, and now that continues into July with the latest artist, Marietta Ivanova.
What drew you to illustrating Star Wars as a subject?
“To me Star Wars is the perfect escape to a world of creativity and endless stories to visualize. Nothing inspires me like science fiction, especially the galaxy far far away. Many don’t know that before joining this community, I had been struggling with an “art block” – I didn’t make any art for almost seven years. That period ended when I was so inspired by Star Wars fan fiction by a fellow fan that I wanted to illustrate it. The creativity just caught on like fire and everything else followed.”
“Now I am endlessly lucky to be surrounded by all you wonderful people. In this community we keep on inspiring each other to be creative, to build, to laugh, to go to events and to have unforgettable time, to be international and make new friends, to support each other and to look for new challenges. It is a wonderful feeling to be able to give back to the community in the form of art. Thank you fellow fans and creators for the chance to share this wonderful adventure with you.”
“I am creating only Star Wars fan art, not licensed Disney products. This is why the art that I make is not for sale. But you can view all of them on my webpage and social media. People who like my art style can also contact me to commission a single custom piece of art with the subject of their choosing.“
