The Star Wars Galaxy 5 trading card set is finally on sale this week. Here are the 2 other pieces I drew for my Imperial Propaganda set, following the Enlist Today poster I put up earlier. I’d love to revisit this idea from the Rebel point of view, too. Maybe next time?

Very cool! The underground element of the Rebel’s would be a good place to use the Obey style you mentioned earlier. Here’s hoping.

these are fantastic, cliff!
maybe you should consider doing the rebel ones following the soc-realistic posters from former eastern block?

If you sell these in poster size, I would definitely buy them. Excellent artwork.

I need to explore the possibility of doing these as official licensed lithos. Does anyone have contact info?

Thanks, Goran! That’s exactly what I was thinking. Rebel posters would look great in that style.

I also would LOOVE a poster, especially of the Enlist Today. Really want that blown up for my friend’s birthday.

My wife and I agree: posters! We love those old WWII propaganda styled posters AND we love Star Wars. This couldn’t be a better smash-up.

These are great! BTW, am I mistaken, or are the blueprints in the “Loose Lips…” poster labeled in Interlac? ;-)

These are amazing, I would love to see them sold in poster format. It’d be excellent to see Rebel ones as well, maybe even as graffiti edited Empire propaganda posters.

Hey, Cliff. I’m not sure if “things are in motion” means you found someone to print your posters but if you don’t have anyone in mind I know a great place that prints beautiful lithos. I can’t imagine anything better than a limited edition printing of those 3 on a nice heavy paper. Good luck and keep up the fantastic work!

Spectacular work. I am not really even a Star Wars fan, and I find these utterly fabulous. Add me to the surely long list of people willing to pay for them.
With the “Loose Lips” poster, in particular, I would question whether you need any permission. The other two have clear elements that are likely closely protected assets.

I’d really, really, really like the ‘Loose Lips…’ one in poster size.
Let me know if you get them sorted.

I’d love to see the famous Lord Kitchener “Your country needs you” with Vader saying “Your Empire needs you”.

Another very belated request for a poster. They’re fantastic pictures and I know a bunch of people who would go crazy for them.
