STAR WARS
In 1999 John was approached by Dorling Kindersley and Lucasbooks to be the third illustrator on their world-famous Star Wars Incredible Cross Section series. Since then he has had his meticulously detailed work published in many of the series’ titles including the Night Buzzard commissioned & published in 2020.
Thanks to a close working relationship with Lucasfilm’s archive and art departments, each image is extensively researched for accuracy and based on exclusive access to behind the scenes reference material. Most of the pieces below were approved by George Lucas, whilst approvals for more recent commissions have been overseen and approved by Pablo Hidalgo - the head of Lucasfilm’s story group. He described John’s most recent piece - the Fondor Haulcraft from Andor as an ‘iconic DK Star Wars cutaway artwork’.
