Don’t know why it’s taken me so long to post these, but anyhow back in 2002 I
was commisioned to do a couple of LEGO illustrations, one for SPIN magazine, one
for Mojo magazine. Here they are for the first time online:
This one was to accompany an article about the various terrible Star Wars
knock-offs were released around the world in the wake of the success of the
original movie. I was asked to show a behind-the-scenes shot of Star Wars
characters getting up to all sorts of crazy @#$%.
This one was a full-page illustration to accompany Mojo magazine’s review of the
(then new) album 18 by Moby. The idea behind this one is that Moby is leaving
Planet Electronica behind him. Extra points to anyone who can identify five
electronica acts that are being left!

LMAO again dude, you never fail to amuse me! I have to ask: What is C3PO doing?
is he eating that, or is it supposed to be his <thing I can't mention here>????
And I'm assuming that the stuff in the glasses is actually either coke or pepsi,
though I could be wrong. Thanks!

I think I can see Chemical Brothers and The Prodigy. Is it Daft Punk in the
goggles?

He's just, you know, holding his hot dog.

Actually, Coke or Pepsi would not look dark enough in such small quantities, so
I used some caramel syrup. Little did I know, the LEGO goblets do not actually
hold liquids, and you can see Obi-Wan's glass is leaking through the stem. :/

Yes, that’s 1.
Correct! That’s 2.

Nope.
OK, class, pencils down. Here are the three others:
It’s Orbital in the goggles. Apex Twin is the Jesus-looking guy up front in
black, and three nondescript guys toward the back are Underworld.
Going into the project, I had no idea what a few of these acts looked like, but
apparently I did a pretty good job modelling them based on reference photos I
was provided with--the people at Mojo wanted to buy the bands from me after I
finished the project.
