UK Streetwear brand Addict have teamed up with Lucasfilm to produce an exclusive set of three boxed tees depicting three of the most iconic characters from the original Star Wars Trilogy (StarWarsShop’s got one of them – check it out!)

Called the Icons Series, it's a one-off set of officially licensed tees illustrated by artist Mitch, known by many for his work in the music industry -- Amp Fiddler, Bugz in the Attic, Incognito, The Bees, and Howie B are just a few of the musicians he's worked with. Check out his extensive portfolio posted at his myspace page here.

For the Star Wars Icons Series, the artist's signature style accurately captures the essence of Boba Fett, Sandtrooper and Biker Scout -- not surprising, since the artist counts Star Wars concept artist Ralph McQuarrie among his earliest influences (see the artist profile below). And like fine art, the t-shirts come packaged in an illustrated custom box -- no cheap metal hangers here.

StarWarsShop is offering up the Boba Fett edition for fans who may not be able to snag one from across the pond, and is the exclusive distributor stateside.

For fans in the UK, the Icons Series will be launching on March 8th at The Addict Store London, 3 Earlham Street, 7 Dials, Covent Garden, with an event that includes Jeremy Bulloch as well as a fully-armored stormtrooper, biker scout, and Boba Fett from the UK Garrison of the 501st.

Following the Addict Store debut, the tees will be available from selected stores in the UK and at www.addict.co.uk.

About the Artist

Brought up in the Shires of the North of England, Mitch's fascination with design and illustration was initiated by a love of comics and the Star Wars phenomenon. His first true influence was Ralph McQuarrie (Star Wars' concept illustrator) and, much to the disapproval of various art teachers, he spent most of his early years in the realms of fantasy art and graffiti.

Concentrating on what he calls 'hip hop surrealism' during his design degree, Mitch spent his final degree year working at Swifty's London studio. As Mitch was already a huge fan of Swifty's work for Mo Wax and Straight No Chaser magazine, this was a logical progression and served as a valuable apprenticeship.

Working from his own London studio over the last 10 years, Mitch has carved his own niche not only in music cover design but also in illustration, fashion and more recently, video production. His work has become synonymous with new music and club culture, working alongside the most prominent musicians of the last decade, including; Amp Fiddler, Bugz in the Attic, Incognito, The Bees, Howie B and many others.

In addition, Mitch has worked on many special projects, live paints and collaborations with other artists; 55 Roots for 55 DSL (live paint and group art show with Dragon and Shibuya from Japan), Bacardi brand development (with Mode 2) and Black Twang/We Love You album projects (with Banksy).

His reputation has also led to his inclusion in numerous art shows, such as; the Art Basel/ Miami (alongside Doze Green, Swoon, Rostar), Candela Festival/Puerto Rico (with Swifty, Mode 2 and HVW8) and Board / London (with Jamie Hewlett and Pete Fowler).
