Mr. Softee

Self-proclaimed Mountain Dew addict, Sean Starwars is a woodcut artist extraordinaire. As an Outlaw Printmaker, his nontraditional approach to printmaking makes his work infamous. Starwars combines pop culture and social commentary with electric colors and intricate prints for a trailblazing result.

The Heist

His woodcuts satirizes humorous aspects of daily, and not-so-daily life. Depictions of Klan members brushing their teeth, Frankenberry, whiskey drinking pigs, ice cream cones robbing banks, hot dog wieners having sex, alligators driving steamrollers, clowns, et al.

Frankenberry Vs The Klan

The list of insane narrative portraits continues into oblivion. Starwars’ probably makes more prints every year than anyone else in the known world, due to a recent pledge to create one woodcut a week.
