Hello friends,
I’m heading to LightBox Expo this coming week, so I wanted to talk about a concept designer that I love.
Glyn Dillon is a concept artist who had a big hand in the costume design for The Force Awakens, Rogue One, Solo, and Rise of Skywalker. Specifically the many cool designs for Stormtroopers.
If you have looked through any of the “Art of” books for these films then you will be familiar with his name.
In this interview he talks about his creative experiences as a kid, and young adult How his older brother, (Preacher comic artist Steve Dillon) inspired his love of Star Wars and art.
Glyn goes into his experiences on the films working with directors and costume folks. If you are interested in concept art for live action films, or just interested in the creative pre-production processes of Star Wars, then this is one to listen to.
Glyn shares how his best work comes when his ego can stay out of the work because he knows that his work is not the final product.

Glyn Dillon:
The Nao of Brown
A little imagination can be a dangerous thing. What if you snapped your taxi driverâs neck? Stabbed your meditation instructor in the jugular with your pen? Mowed down a kid with your bike? Or opened the emergency door on a plane and let all the passengers be sucked out to their deaths? Nao (pronounced like ânowâ) is a âhafuâ, the petite daughter of an English mother and an absentee Japanese father, and she has a secret: violent notions unexpectedly swamp her mind. As she confesses, &#;I get awful thoughts ⦠that just hit me ⦠like a fucking hammer to the head.&#; To protect herself, and others, from her Purely Obsessional Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (POCD), Nao hides behind rituals, like repeating the mantra &#;Mum loves me&#; or locking the cutlery drawer. She is also trying meditation, though she is always judging herself so harshly, while idealising her teachers and fellow students as wholly and impossibly good.
