Figurative art
How obsessed can you get about action figures? San Francisco artist Rob Burden (aka Robert Xavier Burden) is trying to raise $24,000 on Kickstarter to produce two 10x14-foot oil paintings depicting original "Star Wars" figures.
Whoever pledges $4,000 can get one of these 114-inch-tall oil paintings of C3PO, Boba Fett, or a Stormtrooper, which have yet to be completed; they're going to be in full color.
Han and the Tauntaun
Burden wants to create "Star Wars" action figure paintings that are twice as large as this canvas depicting Han Solo, a tauntaun, and various figures and vehicles like the AT-AT Walker.
Voltron
"Defensor Mundi (Voltron)" is an epic portrait of the super robot from the animated series "Voltron: Defender of the Universe," which debuted in 1984.
Optimus Prime
This poster of Burden's painting of Optimus Prime depicts vehicles and robots from the original "Transformers" animated series.
Soldiers of Thundera
Burden's "Soldiers of Thundera" depicts action figures from the "ThunderCats" toy line, originally produced by LJN.
Battle Cat
"Mattel's Battle Cat" (56" by 108", oil on canvas) depicts the original "Masters of the Universe" toy from the 1980s.
Captain America
Buden's "Toy Biz' Captain America" (40x108 inches, oil on canvas) is a requiem for the defunct toy manufacturer that made Marvel action figures.
The Holy Batman
Burden's large painting "The Holy Batman" features action figures, characters, and, of course, the Batmobile from the Batman franchise.
