Our friends over at R2-KT are celebrating the artists of the galaxy, shining a light on their work during these tough times which has seen conventions cancelled and postponed and their main revenue streams cut off as other matters take precedence. Each day through June, R2-KT focuses on a talented artist of the galaxy, and today we celebrate a man who’s birthday is any day he chooses – Spencer Brinkerhoff.
“I was first invited to be part of the Star Wars art show for Celebration Japan in 2008. I didn’t even know what celebration was, but there was NO WAY that I was turning down a chance to make OFFICIAL Star Wars art. So I did some research and looked over the art that had been created for past Celebrations. There weren’t really any guidelines or restrictions on what to illustrate so I figured that I would recreate an iconic Star Wars scene as an animated film but make it look like it had a real cinematic depth of field to it. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Star Wars opening in Japan I illustrated Han shooting Greedo in the cantina and titled the piece “Sorry about the mess”. This limited edition print is all sold out, but I have continued this same style with 5 other prints. One of my personal favorites being, “Don’t make me destroy you.” from Celebration Europe in 2013.”
