Dimensional Star Wars poster.
I posted a long time ago (I know..I know..in a galaxy far far away) about making some carved versions of movie posters. Until recently, I wasn't pleased with how the carvings came out. I have continued to work on it and am happier now with the results.
I was recently contacted about donating some work to a tv show. The show was recently cancelled and the episode airing my work may not air until december of next year, but I thought I would show you what I did. I had 3 days to finish 6 projects, all carved and painted. This one is about 14" x 22". I certainly took some liberties with the original art and anything that's wrong is purely my fault. I look forward to increasing the size of my cnc machine and doing similar projects full scale. The piece is 3/4" thick and carved from PVC sheeting. The carvings go about 1/4- 1/2" deep. |

Re: Dimensional Star Wars poster.
Those are great! A new spin on some old art! Do you do commission work?
I would love to have a 3D version of the "Forbidden Planet" poster. |

Re: Dimensional Star Wars poster.
A couple things...
They aren't totally "hand sculpted". I use a CNC machine...and heavily modified artwork based on vectors I make in Illustrator, combined with the original artwork. I then texture/finish the carving by hand and prime it and paint it...just don't want to mis-represent it. The "Forbidden Planet" question is funny- as that was one of the first attempts I made at doing one of these. It came out alright, but I've created a much better method of getting a good "carve" now. I know I could do a much better version today. |

Re: Dimensional Star Wars poster.
Hi there,
The Lucasfilm Ltd. filmstrip is priceless ... well executed and quite original. Posters look great too. This could become a business ... if it isn't already. Drew Struzan made a lot of movie posters, go check out his posterbook! -Chaim |
