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 17th, Michael Leo Ramirez.
Get to know Michael, give him a shout-out, and use the links below to find out where you can help support him!
June 17th — Michael Leo Ramirez
Aloha! My name is Michael Leo Ramirez and my Artist Name is “MRAM” I was born in the City Of Angels in the late 1960s, raised on Beatles and Elvis music.
As you can see by the pics, I definitely have a signature style. I can use all art mediums, but my specialty is the use of Pen & Ink and Markers. That is what makes my creations stand out. It has that comic book ‘feel’ without making it look too ‘cartoonish’.
My biggest inspirations are my love of Charlie Brown & Snoopy (Peanuts), Star Wars, Sci-Fi / Fantasy movies and my ever-growing comic collection.
I just feel lucky to be able to do what I do to make an honest living. My gift has turned out to be what motivates me take on each new day. Expect nothing and appreciate everything.What drew you to illustrating Star Wars as a subject:
STAR WARS is a big part of my life. From being blown away by the concept art from the 1977 movie when I was a kid to the way my art studio is decorated today. I’m definitely a lifelong fan.
The fact that I am part of a costumed charity group (The 501st Legion) that visits Children’s Hospitals, Schools and Public Fund Raising Events gives me the chance to inspire and bring smiles to people in a different way.
