Star Wars Art: Scrap Yard Power Driod

Art MondoStar Wars by Joey Paur

For those of you who enjoy the art Mondo creates, you'll be happy to hear that they have received a license from LucasFilm to create and distribute a line of Star Wars related Mondo posters. The first of the poster was released yesterday, it's called Scrap Yard Power Droid, and it comes from artist Jeff Soto. Here is a note from the artist:

Star Wars was a pretty big deal for me as a kid. I was only 2 when the movie came out, and I can't even remember if I saw it or not in the theater. The characters and story were known to many of us mainly from the toys! The toys! Oh they were wonderful, and we played with them for hours (and wore out the BEST and Sears catalogue)!  One of my favorite action figures was the Power Droid, and I didn't really know much about the little guy, but for some reason he (I pictured it being male for some reason) captivated my imagination. I realized at some time that he's barely even in the movie, which added to his mystique. Over the years he functioned as the worn out, floppy-legged power supply for numerous Transformers, GI Joe's and Construx. He is small and cute, and found a place in my childhood heart. I still have the little guy. This piece is an ode to the Power Droid!

Check out the Star Wars inspired piece below and let us know what you think! Unfortunately this print is already sold out. I'm looking forward to seeing what else they end up releasing in this Star Wars art series.
