Custom Hanko
2026
I spoke at a Star Wars event in June ‘26 where I was speaking about what it was like to design for The Acolyte. I made a few coasters in the style of the panels we created and also made a custom Hanko (Japanese signature stamp) in homage to the big influence that the Japanese culture has on the creative process designing for the franchise.
The distinctive boarder accompanied with the red ink is very bold and I love the analog nature of it. I designed it to carry the essence of Star Wars but also include the letters in my name [A-B-I-I] albeit disguised a little. I then carved it by hand into rubber while in the green room and attached it to a decent wooden block.
