Joe Corroney has been a licensed Lucasfilm artist since 1997
providing art for books, games, trading cards, comic books, posters and magazines
in the Star Wars universe. After reviewing Joe’s artwork bibliography you will
think of him as the James Brown – “hardest working man” – of the art world of super heroes, sci-fi, horror, fantasy and
adventure. In addition to his
huge professional and unpublished portfolio Joe somehow finds the time to
teach.
Joe has been the instructor of the Comic Book Illustration Course at the
Columbus College of Art and Design in Columbus, Ohio and taught the Ohio State
University's Summer Comic Book Workshop. He is also a celebrity member of
theFORCEbook.com. I originally met Joe on theFORCEbook.com via his posts and
was lucky enough to meet him at Star Wars Celebration VI where I purchased his Star
Wars Celebration VI Limited Edition Print which celebrates the 30th anniversary
of Return of the Jedi. I also fell in love with other concepts he had on
display that I had to purchase! I can’t wait to talk to him about those pieces
in particular as well as his vast body of work.
We will also, of course, discuss his Star Wars fanboy
status, as well as his interest in many other fanboy pursuits. Not the least of
which are Indiana Jones, Star Trek and more.
To celebrate the momentous occasion of Joe Corroney’s interview
on the podcast, November 30th at 11pm EST, we will have a special

RECAP
Joe mentioned colorist Brian Miller who he has been working with now for years. Be sure to check out his work. When asked who his favorite artists were or who inspired him most, Joe had a list of incredible artists: Drew Struzan, Ralph McQuarrie, Jan Duursema (among whose creations include character Aayla Secura w/writer John Ostrander), Dave Dorman, Chris Trevis & Brian Rood - to name a few.
Joe also mentioned that he would enjoy coming back to visit theFORCEbook Fangirls to join a Clone Words panel to discuss - what else - The Clone Wars. Stay tuned for his epic return.
Thanks again, Super Fanboy, Joe Corroney!
