Regular readers of
Computer Music
will be familiar with the brilliant graphical stylings of JAKe, the pensman behind our Burning Question illustrations. As well as
CM
, Jake has also had work published in
NME
,
Time Out
,
Esquire
and
Vox
, not to mention creating the visuals for the inside of Prodigy's
Fat Of The Land
album sleeve and turning the mentalist creations of Noel Fielding and Julian Barratt into a comic strip for
The Mighty Book of Boosh
.
However, by far JAKe's biggest gig is his work as an official
Star Wars
artist for Lucas Licensing, and his stylised takes on George Lucas' characters have adorned everything from T-shirts to fridge magnets, pyjamas and even postage stamps.
As part of their Star Wars Artist series, StarWars.com have posted an
with the man himself. It's a great read, and it makes us feel hugely privileged to have JAKe as part of the, er, CM universe.
