Acme Archives Boba Fett on Cloud City

Overview

Art by Christian Waggoner.

From a distributor:

Look through the eyes of Boba Fett! Or at least at the reflection in his visor. This Star Wars Fett on Cloud City Large Canvas Giclee Print is a stellar work of art that brings a secret peek into the backroom dealings on Cloud City. Signed by the artist, Christian Waggoner, this fascinating giclee is printed on canvas and measures 30-inches tall x 24-inches wide. It's an unframed limited edition of only 25 hand-numbered pieces that comes with a certificate of authenticity.

Through the visor on the war-torn, scratched, scuffed, and battle-damaged helmet of bounty hunter Boba Fett, this unique giclee reveals the behind-the-scenes bargain that Lando Calrissian was forced to make with the poster child of the Galactic Empire, Darth Vader, for the fate of Lando's friend Han Solo and companion Luke Skywalker.

An Atlanta native, Christian Waggoner brings a fresh new look to the world of Star Wars fine art. His uniquely enhanced photo-realistic style makes the viewer wonder how he achieves such skillful detail with a mere brush and canvas. Waggoner has gained prestige and success through more than a decade of high-profile commissions, including impressive paintings of athletes for the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, as well as this and future exciting new releases for the Star Wars Fine Art Program. "Fett" is an exploration of light and reflection that captures an unforgettable moment in the classic film from an entirely new perspective.

Giclee (pronounced "zhee-clay") is an invented name for the process of making fine-art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. The word was coined to distinguish commonly known industrial "Iris proofs" from the fine-art prints artists were producing on the same printers. The name has since come to mean any high-quality, ink-jet print, and is often used in galleries and print shops to denote such. In the past few years, the word (as a fine-art term) has come to be associated with prints using fade-resistant "archival" inks and the inkjet printers that use them. A wide variety of substrates are available, including various textures and finishes such as matte photo paper, watercolor paper, cotton canvas, or artist textured vinyl.
