The author who visited the "Star Wars Exhibition" held in Roppongi, Tokyo the other day. Various art works with the theme of Star Wars were also exhibited at the venue, and I enjoyed the free ideas of the artists.

However, there is still a shocking Star Wars art in the world.

This Darth Vader is a mosaic art drawn using 14,96 "staples". It is said that 7,696 silver needles and 2,800 red needles are driven into a board with a height of about 1 m painted with black paint.



The creator, James Haggerty, is an active artist in the United States. Originally he worked on oil paintings and etching works, but when his wife became pregnant, he came up with the idea of using staples in consideration of the effects of painting materials. Staples are similar to etching lines, but they reflect light to add highlights and depth to your work.


This is "Did You Hear That?" With the theme of C-3PO. It seems that 33,580 needles are used!


For Haggerty, Star Wars seems to have been a work that was strongly influenced as a child. From the work, not only patience but also love for the character is firmly conveyed. If I have a chance, I would like to see the real thing up close.
