I headed out to the Detroit Urban Craft Fair this morning… And came across a couple of Star Wars items. Jason Gibner does simple but adorable character paintings. It was Robocop who originally caught our eye, but I bought the Wampa you see above, but he still had a few (including Yoda, Jabba Boba Fett and an Ewok, right) when I left. You can check out the full array on Facebook.
(Irony: I actually blogged about Gibner back in ’07, when his Star Wars pad made the Metro Times’ Motor City Cribs feature.)
The jaunty watercolor Ackbar by Leslie Gauthier also caught my eye. (Have a better look at her blog.)
Of course I forgot my real camera, so apologies for the cruddy iPhone pics. The show is open until 7pm tonight and runs through tomorrow at the Fillmore Detroit (nee The State Theater) downtown. If you’re in the area, I strongly suggest you head out. There’s plenty of art and handmade goods to please everyone!
That wampa is ADORABLE! So jealous.
