For
the past 25 years, Eisner and Inkpot Award-winning illustrator and
frequent San Diego Comic-Con featured guest
Dave Dorman’s unforgettable art has touched every iconic licensed
character in pop culture. Voted the #1 Star Wars Artist of All Time by
the fans, his dynamic cover art for the Star Wars and Indiana Jones Dark
Horse Comics are often credited with the fan interest resurgence in
those properties. Dave’s book “Star Wars: The Art of Dave Dorman” was a
top-selling art book for Ballantine Books. George Lucas owns more than
90 of Dave’s original oil paintings. Dave’s new book, “Rolling
Thunder: The Art of Dave Dorman” includes a generous chapter on his
most recent Lucasfilm art. Dave continues to create original Star Wars
art for limited edition prints sold during the Star Wars Celebration
shows, and Dave is proud to be an honorary member of the 501st
Legion, Midwest Garrison.
His
work ranges from concept art (the Predalien creature in the recent AVP2
movie was based on his design) to toy design for HASBRO (G.I. Joe, Alien
action figures) to book, magazine and comic book covers and trading
cards, plus licensed packaging artwork. Dave was voted the #1 Star Wars
Artist of All Time by the fans and his book, Star Wars: The Art of
Dave Dorman was one of Ballantine Books’ top sellers. Dorman won
his Eisner Award for work on the graphic novel “Aliens: Tribes,”
the comic book industry’s Oscar Award equivalent. Dorman held a license
with Lucasfilm for many years, creating limited edition art prints.
George Lucas personally owns more than 90 of Dorman’s oil paintings of
Star Wars and Indiana Jones. Other licensed properties for which Dorman
is renowned include Batman, Spiderman, Superman, Captain America,
Battlestar Galactica, Star Trek, World of Warcraft, Harry Potter, Lord
of the Rings, King Kong, The Dresden Files, Buckaroo Banzai, The Green
Hornet, and Magic: The Gathering.
