Celebration Anaheim 2015 Countdown: Day 8
Posted by Jay on April 8, 2015 at 11:00 AM CST
This year at Celebration Anaheim sees a lot of talented artists, some of them for the first time. Here's your first chance to look at their art, decide what you like, and pre-order anything that you're interested in. This art does sell out, so it would be a shame if you got to the show to find that you couldn't get what you wanted. Pre-orders are only available for TWO MORE DAYS. Also be sure to check each artist, as not all are in artist alley. Some have their own Booth, which is listed on the bio.
Jake MurraySPARRING PRACTICE
Size: 18"x24"
Preorder Until 4/10/15 at 5pm PDT$80
Limited to 200
Jake joins the Celebration Art Gallery, and he makes us Original Trilogy fans seem old. "This piece represents one of those moments for me, and has been in my head ever since the 5th grade when I first saw
The Phantom Menace." Thanks Jake! It's something I've been wondering about since I saw Episode I in 23rd grade (I got to get out more!)
William O'NeillA GUIDING FORCE
Size: 24"x18"
Preorder Until 4/10/15 at 5pm PDT$50
Limited to 250
William's prints are always very powerful in person, and this years design seems no different. Don't let the fact that he resembles William Riker from
Star Trek: The Next Generation thow you. He's a
Star Wars fan thru and thru! His previous prints always sell out quickly (who could forget that great Han Solo/Indiana Jones print from Celebration VI?) so make sure you pre-order this version.
Jason PalmerEP VI MONTAGE
Size: 17"x22"
Booth: 305
Giclee on Pearl Metallic finish paper
Preorder Here$45
Limited to 250
Jason's attention detail on his artwork is amazing. You can see that he really takes his time. Besides his Star Wars artwork, you can find lots of other great things on his website link above, such as the
Indiana Jones BluRay art that he did, for example. Collect what you can of his artwork now, before he becomes
too famous!
Brian RoodA NEW HOPE MONTAGE
Size: 20"x30"
Preorder Until 4/10/15 at 5pm PDT$70
Limited to 250
Brian is a busy artist, with an eye for composition. If you've seen his previous Celebration artwork, you know what I mean. Pre-ordering Brian's print is a must, not just because they sell-out, but also because, for a limited time, you get a complimentary hand shake and smile. He doesn't just hand these out to anyone folks, so pre-order early and often!
Alex RossHAN/CHEWIE WANTED
Size: 18"x24"
Booth: 1116 (Alex will not be appearing)
Preorder HereNo price listed
Limited to 250
Fans of the original Marvel comic series, will surely get a kick out of Alex's print. Based on
Star Wars #7 by Gil Kane, this image has Alex's own style and passion. There's no price listed on this one at this point, but keep your eye on the pre-order link above if you're interested. Please note: Alex Ross will not be appearing in person at Celebration.
Tsuneo SandaTHE INCREASE
Size: 728mm x 515mm (28.66"x20.27")
Booth: 533
$100
Limited to 250
Tsuneo Sanda designs the most amazing imagery. Unfortunately I do not have enough art study to adequately explain this print, but it is extraordinary! You must make a point to stop by Sanda-san's booth and look over his work. You never know what might catch your eye.
Cat StaggsTEMPEST FORCE
Size: 18"x24"
Preorder Until 4/10/15 at 5pm PDT$60

Cat adds another propaganda poster to her ever growing arsenal of Imperial and Rebel indoctrination. Her
Star Wars artwork is always a phenomenal part of the art show, but be sure to check out her sketch books. You can also see her work on the covers and interiors for the
Smallville Season 11 series and
The Vampire Diaries.
