Happy Life Day!
In honor of the 35th anniversary of the airing of the Holiday Special, I present:
"Wookiee"
acrylic on canvas
(detail) original size measures 20”x20”
I don’t always paint on velvet!
Commissioned by the awesome Skye Paine, it is a parody of Weezer’s 1994 “blue” album cover photo.
Careful viewers will notice that Chewie’s son, Lumpy, is holding a vintage Hammerhead action figure, while Chewie’s father, Itchy, is holding a carved wooden X-wing fighter!
It should be noted that the Hammerhead was chosen for a reason. the original bass player in Weezer was admitted into the band when he answered "Hammerhead" to the question, "Who is your favorite Star Wars character" ?
Enjoy!
