Daniel Warren Johnson - Empire Strikes Back

Amazing commission!  What size is it?

It's one of the 6x9 commission specials.  I was super lucky to be able to get one, he normally only takes a few.

cool

Badass!

No one does Star Wars like DWJ!!

Holy Moly! What a most excellent Empire Strikes Back drawing! A fabulous example of Daniel Warren's Johnson's phenomenal talent. Congrats!

Gadzooks, Michael!  Even in the face of the "typical" level of creativity and energy DWJ imbues his commissions with, this is astonishing!  The great M L always advises to "go with Star Wars, Artist's Choice" if you are lucky enough to make it on DWJ's list, and the reasons why are plain to see here.  This thing pops and fizzes, Michael!  The thick black inks of the exploding snowspeeder, the different grades of zipatone (to add some Warren Johnson dissonance to the image), the look of panic on the face of the pilot in the foreground... all fantastic... but for me, the cherry on the Hoth icing is the hand-drawn sound effects, scribbled over by white pen in the upper right corner to slightly obscure them behind the AT-AT's blaster fire.  SO GOOD!  With DWJ's commissions, it's never -just- about the image; it's about the -story- behind the image, which adds another "bonus" layer.  Epic piece, Michael!  Congrats!
