My incredibly talented friends Christina Wald and Kevin Necessary organized the show. You can see the details in the poster Kevin created below (click to enlarge). If you are in Cincinnati, stop by the Brew House tomorrow night at 6 for our opening party! There will be droids!
I also took a few process shots while making my linocut.
I printed 8 copies but only had 6 turn out in the end. I lost one to blurriness and one to my fine lines getting clogged.
One of the fun things they asked us to do for the show was to write a short summary of why Star Wars was important to us and to choose our favorite quote. Here is what I wrote:
My childhood is filled with memories from the Star Wars trilogy. I remember hiding small toys under the front hood of our Star Wars landspeeder, shoving action figures in the holes of our maple tree, and being annoyed when I thought I lost Yoda’s staff. I also remember the amazing Halloween costumes my mom made us. My brother had a full-body furry Chewbacca costume where he looked out the mouth and my sister twisted her long hair into princess Leia’s side buns. One year my brother and I were matching Jawa’s with costumes made of itchy burlap. The magic of those years would not have been the same without Star Wars and whenever I hear the first few notes of the soundtrack I am transported to a galaxy far, far away.
