As mentioned here at the Tru:Teknology Files earlier this month, infamous psychedelic artist Bwana Spoons has collaborated with DKE Toys to create a series of over 100 paintings based on the original vintage Kenner Star Wars figurines. The exhibition was held at DKE’s booth at the San Diego Comic Con last week, with pictures finally available for viewing through the company’s Flickr account here.
“This special exhibition of over 100 original paintings by artist Bwana Spoons features portraits of vintage Star Wars™ action figures done in the artist’s signature style. Bright colors, rainbows, humor and fart jokes come though in what Bwana calls, “an awesome dream project.” Dov Kelemer and Sarah Jo Marks of DKE Toys commissioned Bwana Spoons to reinterpret each vintage Kenner Star Wars™ action figure from the original line 1977-1985. These creative interpretations include not only the popular figures but also variations that every Star Wars fan will love!”
