Plasticine Tatooine

August 17th, 2011  •   Posted by: mark  •   Posted in: art, books, film  •   Be the first to comment!

Plasticine Tatooine is a new book by illustrator, Elliott Quince which shows characters from Star Wars made from plasticine. Apart from his medium of choice, what also makes Quince’s project unique is that instead of concentrating on the leading roles, he decided to shine the light on the lesser-known characters.

“What I’ve decided to do, to make this project different, is to select a bunch of the more random cast members and imagine how bitter they must have been at not making it big, how badly they were treated on set or how cruelly their lives have panned out since the movies were released.”
