"In a Backyard Far Far Away Series" by Craig Davison
English artist Craig Davison
creates series of paintings that beautifully illustrate the awesome
power of childhood imagination and our limitless ability to play pretend
as our favorite movie characters. He draws from a wide variety of
movies, but the pieces seen here all revolve around Star Wars.
Kids play their hearts in the foreground while their shadows loom larger than life in the background as the fictional characters they’re pretending to be. Tree branches have become light sabers, cardboard tubes and a hair dryer work equally well as blasters, a garbage can and a colander are all you need to be R2-D2 and C3PO, and a pair of headphones serve as Princess Leia’s cinnamon bun hairdo.
Visit Craig Davison’s website to check out more of his delightful and nostalgic artwork. Then, go grab a tree branch and meet us at the park for a light saber duel.
