“Cantina Crew” 16”x12”  acrylic on linen

I’m deeply honored to have been commissioned to do this painting for an incredible collection of work based on the four original Kenner cantina alien figures.  The pieces in the collection are by some of the biggest names in toy art, from painters I’m in awe of, to sculptors and sick bootleg toy makers.

The idea I went with falls into my toy chest theme. In this case I imagined an old school metal Star Wars lunchbox filled with figures. They’re all thrown in randomly, but the last four to be played with, the favorites, end up right on top. When you open that lunchbox they’re the first thing you see.

I made sure that no other figures’ faces were visible, and most of the original figures have pretty muted colors, so the cantina crew really stands out.
