Star Wars Artist helps you visit a Galaxy Far Far Away at Star Wars Celebration Chicago


Hundreds of artists were considered for the Star Wars Celebration Art Show, in the end Lucasfilm and the panel of judges narrowed down their selection to only a few dozen artists to create exclusive new illustrations for the event. One of the featured artist, Brian Miller, is already known for his space exploration artwork as well as illustrations for Star Wars, Doctor Who, The X-Files, Archer, GI Joe, and more. Brian’s Star Wars artwork has been featured at events like EPCOT International Festival of the Arts, Disney’s D-23 Expo, Comic-Con International, as well as seen in books, magazines, and trading cards. Comic book readers will also recognize Brian Miller as the founder of comic color studio Hi-Fi, where he and the team at Hi-Fi color comics for publishers like DC, IDW, & Dark Horse.

When asked about his artwork for Celebration Miller says, “My inspiration for STAR WARS: A GALAXY FAR. FAR AWAY came from vintage railway and airline luggage tags. I began by dreaming up a few Star Wars themed luggage tags for passengers visiting planets like Endor or Hoth. That’s when I had the idea to illustrate the story of the original trilogy with Star Wars universe luggage tags. Starting with Tatooine and ending with a tag for the Death Star that is ripped in half to symbolize its destruction. Each vintage travel tag is illustrated with details and easter eggs connected to the Star Wars universe. This illustration makes for a unique tribute to the original Star Wars trilogy unlike any you’ve seen before. It is an honor and a privilege to have this illustration featured in the Star Wars Celebration art show”

Brian Miller will once again be appearing at Star Wars Celebration with legendary sci-fi Artist Joe Corroney. Joe’s is well known for his stunning Star Wars paintings as well as his work for sci-fi projects like The X-Files, Star Trek, and Doctor Who.
