Arthropoda Iconicus: A Star Wars-Inspired Journey into the World of Insects

In the fascinating intersection of art, nature, and popular culture, British artist and illustrator Richard Wilkinson has carved a unique niche. His ‘Arthropoda iconicus’ project is an ongoing series of illustrations that combine the world of insects with iconic characters and vehicles from pop culture. ‘From a Faraway Galaxy’ is one of the coolest collections within the series, featuring a number of memorable characters from the Star Wars franchise.

At first glance, Richard’s ‘Arthropoda iconicus’ series might seem like an exquisite collection of insect illustrations. But look closer and you’ll notice the familiar lines of a stormtrooper’s helmet, the unmistakable silhouette of the Millennium Falcon, or the fearsome visage of Darth Vader. Each piece in this series is a clever nod to a beloved Star Wars character or vehicle, ingeniously disguised as an insect.
