Star Wars - Art Nouveau Puzzle

  I just wanted to share a picture of this puzzle I just finished with my son Devin. We where at Barnes and Noble when a metal tin caught my eye. At first I thought it was the work of one of my favorite artist Alphonse Mucha. Upon closer inspection I realized it was actually a Star Wars puzzle set. There are two puzzles in the set. This one and, a Darth Vader puzzle. I decided to buy the puzzle sets because I loved this artwork and thought it would be a good project for my son and I to work on together. 
  This was the first big puzzle Devin has had the opportunity to work on and, he found it to be very fun. Not to mention, he himself is a huge Star Wars Fan too. Here is the finished puzzle. It consisted of 500 pieces.

  I looked up the artist who did this fantastic piece. He is renowned Japanese artist Tsuneo Sanda has been inspired by “Star Wars” since the original movie hit theaters in 1977. He is widely regarded as one of the top “Star Wars”-influenced artists around and has even been commissioned to create art for Lucasfilm. Brovo Mr. Sanda! Here is his original piece.

 

Thanks for looking!
