R2-KT is celebrating Star Wars Artists Month (SWAM) this June, and every day they will be highlighting a Star Wars artist, celebrating their work and raising awareness to ensure you only buy authentic art (and not any of the knock-off work available).
Here at Jedi News we are joining R2-KT in supporting our Star Wars artists! Here is today’s artist for June 20th, Tom Hodges.
Get to know Tom, give him a shout-out, and use the links below to find out where you can help support him!
June 20th — Tom Hodges
No one has a bigger heart than Tom Hodges, who pours his thoughts and feelings right into the page. Those who’ve met him know he’s just like any Star Wars fan and engages everyone in conversations that convince you he’s very informed on the subject. So we are proud to feature Tom Hodges today!
Best known for his work in a Galaxy far, far away… Tom was the lead Artist on the star wars.com’s Clone Wars web comic series for three seasons. Tom will be bringing the fourth, unreleased story online soon. He is also responsible for the “Star Wars Universe Dream Park” map for SWCV in Orlando in 2010, two years before Disney purchased Lucasfilm. He has been working in the industry for over 20 years, contributing to such other properties a Lord of the Rings, Transformers, Halo, The Simpson’s and, as we mentioned at earlier, Star Wars.
Tom has also provided the art for the band RUSH’s 2012 5.1 surround sound remaster of their landmark album “2112”, in which Tom brought the album to life in Graphic Novel form that was the centerpiece of the box set and used to create a motion comic.
Currently, amongst small projects, Tom continues to develop his own Comic Universe (Antiis Comics), and hopes to bring it to an online service in 2020.
Tom resides in Southern California with his wife, Terri and their Four Furkids.
