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).

June 25th — Jonathan Myers
Jonathan Myers is an imaginative illustrator who works in the genres of fantasy, science fiction, horror, myth, fable and folklore. He has completed work for comic books, graphic novels, childrens’ books, puzzles, apparel, novels, trading cards, games and film. He works predominantly in pen and ink and paints in colored pencil. He has two decades of experience illustrating for a variety of clients and high profile properties. He first saw the original Star Wars film as a small child at the drive-in movie theater in 1977 and he was mesmerized by the story of Luke Skywalker. The spectacle of light, sounds and cinematic magic absolutely captivated his imagination and he fell in love with George Lucas’ visual masterpiece. Jonathan has completed many paintings featuring the characters, creatures and worlds of Star Wars and was honored to complete several pieces for R2-KT at the invitation of 501st founder, Albin Johnson. The artist’s work features enigmatic wizards, frightening monsters, beautiful damsels, heroic warriors and fantastic realms.
