Cool Stuff: ‘Art From A Galaxy Far Far Away’ By Randy Martinez And Denise Vasquez
UnlessStar Warsfans have a VHS or laserdisc player handy, there’s no way to legally watch the films we all grew up and loved as a kid. What we’re left with are the memories of how those movies made us feel. Images that are burned on our brain. Ways we’ve integrated those feelings into our adult lives. For some,Star Warsinspired them to make movies or television. For others, it made us want to write about them. And we’ve surely wrote plenty about artists who’ve interpreted the saga in unique and beautiful visual ways. Mondo dida whole serieswith 20differentartistshighlighting exactly this.

Thanks toWiredandGirl Gamerfor the below images. Head to those two sites for even more on the show including more art, videos and interviews.
Martinez’s work might be familiar because he’s been doing officialStar Warswork for a long time – including the covers of Celebration IV and Celebtation Europe programs, Topps trading cards, Mad Magazine and more. Vasquez’s work is, obviously, influenced by the Mexican holiday the Day of the Dead. Read more at their official sites:www.denisevasquez.comandwww.randymartinez.net.
