Have you ever wondered if destiny had a present for you right around the next corner? Does it ever puzzle you how often people give account of a moment that changed their lives and rarely is it a predictable event?
Some say the trick to happiness is just to be open to destiny and seize what it gives you. Nothing could be more true for our artist of the day, Jasmin Schröder. Ever since her eyes were re-opened seeing Star Wars characters in person, it rekindled the original love she had for the movies. And a random act that followed led to a life’s calling.
Artists know this path: the one of intuition and embracing what unfolds. Like a lot of artists, Jasmin draws what she likes. But already she is seizing on style choices and following a theme in her works. This is the future of art, and the reason why so many artists enjoy seeing the next generation come up. Because their art, like the events that may have led to it, are now pleasant surprises of destiny to our imaginative minds.
Jasmin, how did you get into art?
“Hi! I‘m Jasmin from German Garrison, 29 years old and a proud Sandtrooper! I watched my first Star Wars movie when I was 9 years old and I loved it!
Especially the Storm- and Sandtroopers. In 2017 I saw a lot of them trooping in a Legoland Park. This was really a special day! All the characters I’ve seen on screen were in front of me in real life. This was breathtaking and a big fangirl moment for me. That’s also the reason why I‘m in the 501st (since January 2019).”
“Days later I found a really cool watercolor painting on the internet and I wanted to draw it. It turned out to be easier than I thought. This was the beginning of my new and beloved hobby: to be an artist.”
“I mainly draw cosplayers from the 501st or something that they want, like a city with a star destroyer in the sky. Every Artwork with a cosplayer on it is unique, it doesn’t exist a copy of them. If I have time enough, I draw things ‘for fun’: for me, for you. For example: Mando with Child, the Armorer and Cara Dune with pencils. It will be a series of 4, one is missing: IG-88.”
“Greetings to all the great artists out there!”
