These new Michael B. Myers Star Wars Pixel Posters are additions to the original well-received series.
With simple 8-bit captions such as "Empire Strikes Back" and "These Aren't the Droids You're Looking For," Michael B. Myers's work is perfectly geeky. These Star Wars Pixel Posters focus on the male characters of the cult-film classics. An 8-bit Jabba the Hut, Boba Fett, Luke Skywalker (facing off with Darth Vader), C3PO and R2-D2 finish off Myers' Star Wars Pixel Posters series.
The Drawsgood illustrator has truly designed a perfect tribute to the Star Wars franchise, incorporating a minimal aesthetic that displays a massive appreciation for the 8-bit style. I can't wait to see what Myers does next!
