   I couldn't resist the pull to do a second installment of my Asian Star Wars Art Collection. You do not yet know the power of the Yellow side. 

   This post features a massive 55+ Star Wars drawings, digital paintings & sculptures created by Asian artists &/or Asian inspired fan art from a diverse variety of international artists. I've even included Star Wars characters remixed with classical Roman sculpture, Victorian photography & bootleg art toys.

   On the occasion of Bruce Lee's 77th birthday (Nov 27, 1940), I wanted to present a new art collection to celebrate a true legend who has influenced people all around the world to pursue excellence in their lives.

   It's been 2 years since I complied the "Dragon Immortalized" art collection, celebrating what would have been his 75th birthday. 

   I hope you enjoy my second collection of Lee inspired artworks. Please share this with the Bruce Lee fans in your life. :)

   This second profile of self-taught Indian artist, Archan Nair focuses on his surreal digital landscapes. His art is easily distinguishable from other digital surrealists with its bright colors & seamless blending of 3D forms & digital painting. Archan creates worlds that are completely original, born from a deep inner well of vital creative energy.

   A few months ago, I brought you 40 of his distorted experimental portraits & figure studies in a post called, Reconfigured.

   Many of these landscapes are available for sale as prints & other art merchandise in his Society6 Shop.
