Exclusive Star Wars Celebration Anaheim Prints
Hundreds of artists were considered for the Star Wars Celebration Art Show, in the end Lucasfilm and the panel of judges selected 35 to create exclusive new illustrations for the event. Two such artists are the duo of Joe Corroney and Hi-Fi color design’s Brian Miller who frequently collaborate on cover illustrations for sci-fi comics like X-Files, Ghostbusters, Star Trek, and Doctor Who as well as Star Wars art for book covers, Star Wars Insider magazine, Topps trading cards, and Star Wars collectables for ACME Archives.
Joe Corroney and Brian Miller each chose to represent the Dark Side of the Force and more specifically Darth Vader in their Star Wars celebration exclusive illustrations titled, “The Inquisitor’s Gift” & “Remember the Death Star”. Joe had this to say about his choice of characters, “Darth Vader is my favorite Star Wars character and hands down my favorite character to illustrate. But I hadn’t yet done a print for Celebration that just focused on him”.
When asked about his artwork for Celebration Miller says, “I wanted Darth Vader to be larger than life and more of an iconic representation of the Empire. In a similar vein to how Uncle Sam was portrayed in many propaganda posters. They type and design elements were chosen to serve as a powerful recruitment tool for the Empire”.
Both artists will be attending Star Wars Celebration Anaheim April 16 -19 where their artwork will be featured in the Celebration Art Show. A limited number of official Lucasfilm prints of the artwork are being made available exclusively for attendees as well.
