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 28th, Peter Hague.
Get to know Peter, give him a shout-out, and use the links below to find out where you can help support him!
June 28th — Peter Hague
Today in SWAM we get to delve into the depths and our tour guide is a brilliant young artist who is also a member of the 501st Legion. We love him as a Stormtrooper, and you can know him as Peter Hague. He’s pretty humble about his work, but don’t believe him. He has a knack for capturing the macabre, dishing it out in slick designs and caricatures. We love what we see and we think you will too.
Tell us a little about yourself, Pete!
“Hi, I’m Pete. I’m an animator, illustrator, and designer who attempts to make video games, music, shirt designs, patches, pointless doodles, nonsensical scribbles, and anything else I can waste time doing creatively. I’m a drummer in a metal band (Distances), so I’ve been fortunate enough to design a few shirts and album covers here and there. I went by the pseudonym “Robo Tarot” for a spell because I created a tarot deck comprised of robots. These days, the folks in the 501st and Rebel Legion tend to keep me busy with patch, pin, and coin design.”
Same as every other kid in the 80s, I obsessed over Star Wars, Transformers, Nintendo, Marvel Comics, Ninja Turtles, etc. Once I found my artistic sea legs, no Post-It note or text book margin was safe from my mind barf. Darth Vader vs Wolverine. Samus vs Optimus Prime. you name it.
