Today
is American comic book illustrator Jan Duursema's birthday. She is an artist, and she has created art for the following
franchises and series:
Wonder
Woman
Advanced
Dungeons and Dragons
Hawkworld
/ Hawkman
Batman
Marvel
comics
Star
Wars
There
are a lot of other series and franchises in her credit roll, as well.
I think it is fascinating that so many illustrators have long,
satisfying careers adding to the creativity and complexity of
fictional universes and long-form stories.
A lot of these people do
not become super famous (I guess just famous enough to get a page on
Wikipedia!), nor do they become super rich...
But they are doing what
they love, helping to create something bigger than themselves,
something that can be enjoyed for years or decades to come!
And that is awesome!
Here
are some Star Wars characters that Duursema is known for having
created:
 |
| Kiffar Jedi Quinian Vos |
 |
| Twi'lek Jedi Aayla Secura |
 |
| Denin, Prince of Naldar, and Vila, Denin's twin sister (pictured here with Yoda) |
 |
| Jan Duursema was the basis for the character Ur-Sema Du! ....How would you like to be the inspiration for a Star Wars character? |
