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 22st, Katie Cook.
Get to know Katie, give her a shout-out, and use the links below to find out where you can help support her!
June 22nd — Katie Cook
Katie made her name making the rounds at cons and online with her adorable and smart renditions of characters from all over fandom. She broke into the big leagues by giving Star Wars fans a new way to look at their favorite characters. She even makes it available to kids learning their ABC’s! Everyone who’s met her agrees, she’s so open and charitable to the fans and she puts her heart into every piece. We are so proud of her accomplishments and eagerly look forward to her latest offerings.
Katie Cook is a comic artist and writer that hails from the mitten state (as is Michigan, not that she is in the state of being a mitten). She is the creator of the comic Nothing Special on Webtoon and Gronk: A Monster’s Story. She spent several years writing IDW’s My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Katie is the illustrator of several Star Wars children’s books and has also done extensive work for Marvel, Disney, Fraggle Rock, and so much more!
Her mother thinks she is funny. Her Star Wars credits include art for the Clone Wars online comic, illustrations for ABC-3PO, OBI-123, Search Your Feelings and Creatures Big and Small.
Shat drew you to illustrating Star Wars as a subject?
I’ve loved Star Wars since I was a kid! Even if I wasn’t getting paid to do it I’d still be drawing porgs.preferred website / links to where fans can buy your products legitimately
