"That's a myth," Lucas said, politely but firmly."That's definitely a myth."

Legend holds that the cranes of the Port of Oakland were the inspiration for the AT-AT walkers in Star wars. These structures have since turned into a symbol for Oakland and are frequently sported on t-shirts. I went there to have a look myself, made some drawings, listened to people and spice it all up with what George Lucas had to say on the matter (not to me, though).
Love your technique and use of color!
ReplyDeleteThank you Kathleen!
ReplyDeleteI like it
ReplyDeleteThanks Carlos. What about it?
ReplyDeleteI love the way you showed the working life of the port, not just a pretty sketch, and I want to go there too. Where did you do your sketching? Is there public transit access or easy parking? I'd like to do an SF Sketchers meetup there, but mostly I can't get people over to the east bay unless public transport is easy.
