Thanks to the heaps of peeps who sent this in! I just saw this via Geekologie and it seems like everyone else is over this like a rash, and no wonder, this is pretty cool stuff, but I'll let Brandon Peat, the artist say it best:
When my wife Emma and I found out we were pregnant with our first child, Tycho, we began thinking of fun ways to decorate a baby boy’s room. Since we live in an apartment and aren’t allowed to paint the walls, that meant posters or prints of some kind. And, being artists, we naturally wanted to create those prints ourselves. In the end, we decided to illustrate an alphabet of characters from one of our favorite franchises – Star Wars.Selecting each letter was a lengthy process. The characters who made the cut are primarily from the Original Trilogy (no Prequel characters here!), with a few from the Expanded Universe of books, comics, and video games. We also tried to keep the illustrations as non-violent as possible (in the words of Wuher, “No blasters!”) for maximum kid-friendliness.
I sketched the basis for each character in pencil, which Emma then rendered and colored in Illustrator – it was very much a collaborative process. The project was her idea, even...man I love having a nerdy wife.
Seriously too much cool here to list every one, but make sure you go check it out. AMAZING stuff!
For a limited time, you could receive a printed collection of this entire alphabet!
