Behind The Pen of Alexander (Troopers Of Star Wars)

On todays episode, I interview Alexander (Troopers Of Star Wars on instagram, and mr papa Alex on Twitch). Alex is a skilled artist who mixes both legends and canon clone designs in a beautifully simplistic fashion. However, Alex has become just as much an influencer as he is a artist at 16,000 followers! Alex has rallied his community behind the unlikable giants of Star Wars, like Unnamed 212th Clone Trooper, Nute Gunray, and many others, creating memes that have made waves across instagram. Alex and I discuss how he developed his art style, share some crazy stories from our time on Instagram, and nerd out over Star Wars. So find a nice quiet spot, warm up with your favorite blanket, and relax as we go Behind The Pen of Troopers Of Star Wars.

Behind The Lens of Arnold Middleton (The Imperial Grunt Photography)

After a brief hiatus, Jman‘s Cantina returns with an interview with Arnold Middleton, also known as The imperial Grunt. Arnold has been a hero of mine since I joined the Toy Photography community on Instagram back in 2018. Arnold shoots in a style that feels deeply authentic. Each shot captures a truth about war that only someone whose been in it could capture. Arnold and I discuss everything from his time as a veteran, to his life now as an Art teacher, and how his Toy photography fits in between everything!

Behind The Canvas of Alex Blaisdell (Alexaphyr)

Alex and I discuss art, anime, the art of copying, as well how COVID-19 has impacted the art world. Alex’s work is beautifully crafted and full of life, with images that capture pure creativity. Each image has a deep spiritual resonance to it that speaks to the soul. You can check out Alex’s work at Blaisdell Designs on Facebook or at BlaisdellDesigns.com.
