I’D RATHER BE IN SPACE

Paintings

What I love about the Star Wars universe is that its infinite amount of characters. With Bossk being one of my favourite bounty hunters, I imaged him back in his 20’s with a rock star persona. He has the admiration and attention to the hottest space girls but he’d rather be back in space capturing criminals and having adventures than attending rooftop parties and mingling with celebrities. This was part of my Spacejugs show at Omy Gallery and Now Lounge in 2006/07 in Toronto. Originally painted with a bamboo background and models fabric fill. I Photoshopped the original photo to give it a more retro space feel.
