#forcefriday

Throwback to an image I drew 2 years ago :) -- One more #ForceFriday piece! This was a commission for Michele Makanui who requested the classic Star Wars scene based on the poster by the Hildebrandt brothers... but in my style • At first I was thinking, oh ya the people in my style- easy... but when it came to the droids and Darth Vader... Not much variation so I scrapped the first draft • I figured my style is making things silly and local... so here’s the end result: “Uke” Skywalker, Princess “Lei”-a, “Tree”-Pi-O, & Mahalo Detoo (the puns cant all be gems...) Shave ice Death Star, Diamond Head in the back, instead of X-Wings there’s B-52 Cockroaches... 😊 • Mahalo, Michele for letting me work on a fun project. 😊 #jonjmurakami #starwars #starwarsfanart #lukeskywalker #princessleia #c3po #r2d2 #darthvader #deathstar #xwing #starwarsanewhope #ukelele #shaveice #hawaii #lei #alohashirt #palmtree #mahalo #Mahalodoesnotmeantrash #cockroach #copic #copicmarkers #comic #cartoon https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf3KI8uukuj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Anakin. Luke. Rey. At the very beginning of this poster project I struggled to find an idea that hadn’t already been done. I thought about all of the amazing characters, vehicles, weapons, and worlds that inhabit the Star Wars universe that would make a great poster but Google image search would always yell ‘yup, it’s been done dude!’ I then re-watched A New Hope and found something in it that I had somehow lost sight of during the 1000 other times i had watched it. At its very core is the story of a kid stuck on a farm who has no idea that the weight of an entire universe would rest on his skinny shoulders. And maybe that’s why we can relate to Luke. Maybe that’s the reason we cheer so loudly for him to succeed. He so badly wanted to find purpose, and boy did it ever find him. That’s the story i wanted to tell with my A New Hope poster and the ones with Anakin and Rey that followed. Thanks to everyone who have inquired about this poster series. I know that they weren’t easy to purchase when they were 1st released and the limited-edition part can be a major frustration. I collect prints too! I’m glad they’re living on in other forms of merchandise from bags, to pins, to hoodies. I’ll be sure to let you know if they ever pop up anywhere else. May the Force be with you & Happy #forcefriday ! #starwarsday https://www.instagram.com/p/B3LvkccDatG/?igshid=1vxajlhligaqv

It’s #ForceFriday and I wanted to share some thoughts. I’m not skinny: I’ve been told I’m “too fat” or “too heavy” for certain roles in shows. A while back, I got a slew of nasty comments on a lot of my old Mara Jade photos calling me the “fat Mara Jade” (among other names) and those comments hurt me so badly that I couldn’t bring myself to wear that costume for a year and a half. I still feel sick to my stomach while wearing that costume, and I haven’t worn it in more than a year since Katsucon 2018. I suffer from a slew of fun mental illnesses, including body dysmorphic disorder. I think it’s important to be open about body image and perception in the cosplay community and understand that “accuracy” is not the most important part of cosplay. Mara is petite like me, but she’s long and lithe and very slender, while I’m round and curvy in not-so-ideal places. It’s easy for me to be body positive for everyone else, but I have to live with the reflection in the mirror, and I have to live with the memory of those cruel words that ruined one of my favorite characters for me. Be kind. Don’t comment nasty things about makeup or body type, or give unwarranted criticism. It’s not helpful, it’s not necessary, and it’s cruel. Cosplay is a wonderful outlet of creative expression for so many people, and we need to be kinder to one another—and ourselves. I might never be happy with the way I look, but I am here for you.
