Storm Troopers are a popular subject in street pop art, especially in the graffiti art scene. Graffiti artists often incorporate Storm Troopers into their works to add a sense of sci-fi or futuristic vibe to their pieces. The iconic white armor and helmet of the Storm Trooper make for a visually striking and recognizable image, making it a popular choice among street artists. Some artists may choose to depict Storm Troopers in a more traditional or realistic way, while others may incorporate more abstract or stylized elements into their works. Additionally, some graffiti artists may use Storm Troopers as a metaphor for authority or conformity, playing off of the Empire's role in the Star Wars franchise. Storm Troopers offer a lot of creative possibilities for graffiti and street pop artists, and their popularity in the genre shows no signs of slowing down.

Bobby Hill Storm Trooper HPM Acrylic Silkscreen Print by Bobby Hill
Storm Trooper Limited Edition Hand-Embellished Mixed Media Screen Print on 200lbs Heavyweight Paper by Bobby Hill Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. Each piece is unique and colors, painting, spray paintings made by hand by the artist are random, vary, and you may not receive the exact pictured item! "I use photographic images as the basis for the art, but I would sometimes draw directly on the acetate before I burn the screens to bring out parts of the images I felt were important. Each piece for this run was individually screen printed and hand-painted using a variety of acrylic and other mediums. Take notice of the colors rather than the image, even though that might be difficult to do sometimes. The colors represent what's going on in my life at any given moment." - Bobby Hill
