Yesterday I featured several amazing Star Wars Cosplayers that Jason and I spotted at WonderCon over the weekend at the Anaheim Convention Center in a blog post. Today I am excited to be back to share with you many talented artists that were at the convention and that you might not yet know about. I'd suggest grabbing some coffee or tea because there's a lot of amazing Star Wars artwork and merchandise to be seen!
Some of you might be familiar with my friend Austin of Rebel Art Design as I've featured some of his pins on the blog before. He and his sister had a fantastic booth setup at the convention showcasing t-shirts, enamel pins and prints including this new one of Vader holding a couple of miniature AT-ATs entitled Empire Loves Puppies. Too cute, right? I'm a masssive fan of his enamel pins especially the glittery ones. In fact, I picked up this insanely gorgeous glittery rose gold number called Bounty Collected featuring Boba Fett. Be sure to follow him on Instagram if you aren't already to stay up-to-date on all of his newest designs!
I discovered The Pumpkin Geek at the convention and was completely amazed at the craftsmanship of the carved artificial pumpkins that were on display. Obviously one of these would be amazing to have for Halloween but I think it would also make a great Fall decoration! You can find all of Alex's work on his Instagram account and get a quote for an idea you may have on his website. Might I also point out to you his Star Wars designs? They're quite epic!
Dan Veesenmeyer and I met over social media some time ago and finally had the chance to meet in person at WonderCon. Dan is the best LEGO artist around! His latest work can be seen in the LEGO DC Super Villains video game. He is also a huge fan of Star Wars and gets super creative with his illustrations as you can see above. The Boba/Han & The LEGO Movie mashup is one of his best selling pieces! Be sure to follow Dan on Instagram and check out his extensive portfolio. For commission availabilities, follow him on Twitter.
Pin Pin Pals is the home of extremely chubby food enamel pins. They debuted their very first Star Wars themed enamel pin at the convention and I practically melted over the cuteness. A Chewbacca Chocolate Chip Cookie and Twin Suns Milk? With faces? You can't get much cuter than that! The pin will be added to their shop by the end of the day. Follow them on Instagram for updates and new reveals!
A friend of mine knew I was headed to WonderCon and told me to be sure to visit his brother's booth, Herofied Art. My goodness, what a treat! Rob Taylor is an extremely gifted digital artist who works with colors and textures in the most beautiful way. I couldn't help but take home the Star Wars Rebels poster! You can view all of his artwork on his Instagram account and order your favorites from his Etsy Shop.
Note: Today, April 3rd, is Rob's 43rd Birthday and to celebrate he is offering 43% off any of his standard prints priced at $20 with code "BDAY43". Don't miss out on this great deal!
I absolutely love how precious these pieces by Mauricio Abril are. When browsing his booth at WonderCon I truly felt like each piece told a story. I couldn't help but smile as I admired the lovely colors and liveliness of the characters. You can find these prints above and many more on his online shop. Be sure to also follow Mauricio on Instagram!
Tony Poulson of Hand Over The Hero offers a super unique take on pop culture Heroes and Villains. I really love how creative this concept is! Each Hero is like a little puppet that I want to rescue from the evil hands and squish (in the form of a hug of course). The designs are available as a sticker or print on his online shop. Be sure to follow Tony on Instagram for updates on his latest work!
Albert Nguyen does a remarkable job of recreating famous historical events with a Star Wars touch and illustrating other exciting pieces for fans to enjoy. Jason instantly purchased the Clone Scouts print inspired by the Vietnam War seen above and we can't wait to get it hung up! I also really love the Ahsoka & Sabine piece. I feel like we don't often see many things featuring these two awesome ladies! You can check out more of Albert's work on his online shop.
The Princess Leia and Rey Graphic Art pieces by Patrick Scullin are fascinating! I love the simplicity of the design and the porcelain-like appearance of the characters. Patrick also experiences with different styles which you can find on his website. While none of the Star Wars prints seem to be available to order at the moment I'd recommend following him on Instagram for updates on future convention appearances!
Tell me, which of these pieces stood out to you the most? Let me know in a comment below or hit me up on Twitter or Instagram.
Special thanks to: WonderCon for allowing us to cover the event by offering my husband and me press passes.
