Wyeth Wars: Leia's World

From my Instagram post:
My first collab piece of 2024!
Wyeth Wars is a Star Wars/Andrew Wyeth mashup by local street artist and graphic designer:

Cassius was kind enough to allow me to paint this image! K1ng has a bunch of these mashups, so if any of you Star Wars geeks 'n freaks need moar, I might just try to paint another one ... Nope ... Strike that. I might just DO another. (There is no try).
This represents a perfect mashup of my childhood. I grew up in Chester County, PA where you can't swing a rubber chicken without hitting a Wyeth print (Anyone living in Wyeth Country has a print in every room and two in the kitchen). AND! I was ten years old when the original Star Wars movie first hit theaters and It. Defined. My. Childhood.
To this day, if I come across a sturdy, three foot long stick, It. Is. A. Lightsaber.
I will turn it on .... Pssshew
Swing it around ... wummm wummm
Clash it into other sticks ... Kksssshhh, Kksssshhh
And turn it off after vanquishing my opponent .... Shhhhewp
