Contemplate the Star Wars Art, where Jar Jar Binks' Intimidating Eyes Compel Your Focus
Ready to dive into some rad Star Wars art? Jason Edmiston, the guy behind those unforgettable "Eyes Without a Face" pieces, is back at it with a pair of prequel characters that'll send shivers down your spine - or maybe just make you laugh out loud!
This time around, he's taken on none other than Jar Jar Binks and Ahsoka Tano, with results that are as stunning as they are unexpected. Each piece measures 9 x 5 inches and comes in editions of 300, priced at a reasonable $35. They'll be available to grab starting at noon ET on Friday, March 14, so mark your calendars and don't miss out!
You can catch these beauties at Bottleneck Gallery. Now, if you're thinking these look a bit familiar, give yourself a pat on the back! They're the latest additions to Edmiston's long-running "Eyes Without a Face" series, which has been captivating audiences since its debut way back in 2015. From pop culture icons to well-known faces, the series has distinguished itself in the arts scene ever since. If you're hoping to explore further, you can find most of the pieces in a recently released book.
Feeling nostalgic? When he initially started out, Edmiston held off on diving into the Star Wars universe, but all that changed in 2022. He kicked off his Star Wars adventure with Darth Vader and Obi-Wan Kenobi from the Obi-Wan Kenobi series, followed by Princess Leia and a Stormtrooper from the original trilogy, and Darth Maul from the prequels. Now he's added both a movie and animated character to his collection.
As the Star Wars series expanded, Edmiston hinted that he intended to explore every nook and cranny of the Star Wars universe, and with Ahsoka and Jar Jar, he's surely doing just that. Fans of Rosario Dawson may have originally envisioned Ahsoka in live-action, but seeing her animated form in Edmiston's art just feels right. As for Jar Jar... well, love him or hate him, there's no denying that his eyes always seem to command attention!
So, there you have it! If you can't wait any longer to get your hands on these pieces, head over to Bottleneck Gallery at noon ET on Friday, March 14 to secure your spot in the galaxy far, far away.
