The talented artists at Industrial Light & Magic, Lucasfilm’s visual effects house, have recently been paying tribute to the real-world heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Through “Heroes of the Pandemic: ILM Art Jam,” these artists have created their own illustrations and paintings as a thank you to the doctors, nurses, grocery-store workers, and all those on the front lines that are saving lives and providing us with essential goods and services.
ILM has published these works on its Twitter and Instagram channels, and StarWars.com is honored to reveal several new images and feature the entire collection below. In addition, we asked each artist to share their own commentary and thoughts on these moving images.
We chose animage by Amy Beth Christenson for the featured story image, this is what she said about it….
“I wanted to thank everyone that is involved with restocking the stores, especially since it’s so stressful to be short on some supplies right now. It’s been very heartwarming and inspirational to see these professionals calming the customers, keeping queues orderly (and friendly!), and being extra helpful to those that need it most. Thank you so much!” – Amy Beth Christenson
