As we continue to explore the wide vista of talent that have been inspired by Star Wars we keep discovering that there is so much more magic out there than what shows up on the professional circuit. A generation of young artists have grown up in a digital age, with tools and inspiration at their finger tips that were unheard of when the movies first came out. But the enduring appeal of the Saga continues to spark the flame of creativity.
Today’s artist is still in college but is already preparing for a lifetime of artistic achievement. She debuted on the fandom scene in my home state of South Carolina and she has made it her stage. Prop-making, costuming, cosplay performance, digital design, and visual arts are all crafts she has mastered well beyond her years. Please join me today in saluting Sasha Galvan!
“I’m 20 years old going in to my third year of college focusing on art and design. I’ve been drawing since I was very young. My art work is mostly done I’m charcoal, paint or ink I love focusing on all the tiny details and making things look as realistic as I can. Somehow this spun into a passion for making costume and props which is what I spend a majority of my time doing now.”
“What drew me to illustrate Star Wars as a subject? I guess that would Be Matt Cohen. We met at SC ComicCon while I was in my Jawa costume and later he saw my work on Instagram and told me about the 501st and the fundraisers done with these designs. and got me to do some designs for North and South Carolina garrisons.”
