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).
Update: There are so many amazingly talented artists that one month is just not enough to celebrate them all, so SWAM is extending into July!!
Here at Jedi News we are joining R2-KT in supporting our Star Wars artists! Here is today’s artist for July 6th, Sean Soehl.
Get to know Sean, give him a shout-out, and use the links below to find out where you can help support him!
July 6th — Sean Soehl
Have you ever played scenes back in your head of star ships, robots, wizards, and epic space battles? Ever taken the time to try and draw them out, adding your own special touch? Then you were an artist! Whether you followed up on those sketches with a career or just played around in school – you took up the craft of art and felt the magic it contains. Not all of us followed that path to a professional career, but that’s not a problem – everyone is free to express their imagination. In fact, some still do in their spare time. And what better way to express yourself and have fun. That’s what today’s Star Wars Artist does. Meet Sean Soehl, full time IT professional and part-time artist. He shows us what it means to keep the Force strong in his imagination and we love what we see!
“Hi! Im Sean…an Army veteran who went to the police academy before becoming an IT nerd for a local hospital system here in NC haha. I’m a husband to my hero who is a doctor and we have a sassy little girl. I love painting/drawing Star Wars subjects because it is my favorite movie series and story ever, and so many of the characters resonate with me (like they do with so many of us). I dont actually sell my art yet but I have been told maybe I should start, so stay tuned for that. Thanks and May the Force Be with You, ALWAYS.”
Another artist tomorrow!
