'Chewie is My Co-Pilot' by John Lacko is a Fantastic Use of Felt

— April 18, 2010 — Pop Culture
Jesus meets felt meets Star Wars in John Lacko's 'Chewie is my Co-Pilot'. I don't think the world is ready for this intricate piece of art.

'Chewie is My Co-Pilot' is modeled after the Jesus of the Sacred Heart pose. John Lacko reimagines Chewbacca as the miracle worker he really is. This piece is made of felt, which means it stays true to its source material. Click on the links provided to check out more of John Lacko's work.

3. Heritage-inspired Crafts - The trend of using traditional crafts, such as felt-making, to reinterpret iconic figures from religion and pop culture presents opportunities to connect with nostalgia-seeking consumers and reinterpret cultural symbols.
Industry Implications
1. Art and Crafts - The art and crafts industry can explore new markets by producing religious-themed felt art that appeals to both spiritual and art enthusiasts.
