I’ve been a fan of Star Wars my entire life.

As a kid, growing up in the late 70’s and early 80’s, it had a profound affect on me. Star Wars was this entire universe built on imagination and creativity. I would play with the action figures and toys…I read and listened to the books and records…I dressed up like Han Solo for Halloween…but most of all I would draw.

I drew everything from Star Wars – the heroes, the villains, the vehicles, the environments. I spent countless hours recreating the scenes and characters that had captured my imagination. You can see some of these drawings if you click below.

I never stopped drawing. I became a graphic designer. I studied modern design and I was inspired by the designers and illustrators who were practicing in the 50’s and early 60’s. I was influenced by the work of Alvin Lustig, Paul Rand and Saul Bass. In college I worked at Disneyland, where I was surrounded by the artwork of Bjorn Aaronson, Paul Hartley and Rolly Crump. All of these artists had a huge influence on me.

So I wanted to combine my appreciation for mid-century modern design with my passion for Star Wars. That’s the idea behind this poster series…
