The Last Movie-Poster Artist

STAR WARS TRILOGY RE-RELEASES, 1997
While they fit together perfectly in a triptych, they were never painted side by side. I basically had a week to finish each. I put a black border around each one and had everything breaking out of the frame to make it look grander than it actually was. George liked it so much that he wanted the rest of the Star Wars posters to match that. So, on Episode I, and II, and III, I repeated that concept. George has a wonderful screening room at Skywalker Ranch, and there's this big wall with all six paintings lined up in order. It's one big movie.
