  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

I am definitely getting this. Not only because its fantastic, original, and a total nerdgasm, BUT because all proceeds are donated to a charity benefiting his sick 7 yr-old daughter

[–]SuccessKidYeah 19 points20 points ago

He's not too far from reaching his goal! Let's help him out! Hugs for Maddy

[–]redlinezo6 5 points6 points ago

Done and done.

I bought 3 prints :)

[–]merrlin 3 points4 points ago

This is that same artist that did the Muppets as Firefly called Firefrog (about half way down the page). I bought the set for my SO for Christmas and she loved it. He also does some of his work while running a live stream.

[–]MikeSupertramp 1 point2 points ago

I'm gonna get a print and a book as well. I have one of the same illnesses she has (eosinophilic esophagitis). Having that alone sucks...poor girl =(

[–]That_Weird_Kid 1 point2 points ago

Thanks for the link! I went a little overboard and bought 3 prints and a book. Super excited, though!

[–]meanderingmalcontent 1 point2 points ago

donating right now. can't give much, but i hope it helps.

[–]Bitter_Idealist 0 points1 point ago

Fuck. I started crying just looking at the picture. I can't click on that.

[–]JimJeroo 15 points16 points ago

Hello! I'm James Hance, of http://www.jameshance.com - I painted this as part of my 'Wookiee The Chew' series and I'd like to thank everyone who has left kind comments, bought prints, supported me and helped once again to chip away at Madison's monstrous mountain of medical bills we're constantly climbing. You've made all the difference, and I thank you from the bottom of my relentlessly cheerful heart :)

[–]munkianis 1 point2 points ago

Just bought a print for a friend of mine! He is a huge star wars/disney fan. I want to present it to him so that he can hang it in his (soon to be arriving) daughter's room. Amazing work. Thank you!

[–]agnt0007 0 points1 point ago

hey man, this made me tear up. WTF! (to be fair lana del rey - video game was playing in the back ground) & i have no idea why. good stuff & keep expressing the heart.

[–]JimJeroo 1 point2 points ago

Thank you, sir! Paintings are funny like that - I was working on this one and would get sudden pangs of happiness and sadness and couldn't quite work out why. Here's a pic of the work in progress:

http://jameshance.tumblr.com/post/22278330885/latest-painting-in-progress-a-most-bold

I've not heard 'Video game' before - listening now. Beautiful!!

[–]agnt0007 1 point2 points ago

i think this is the closest i've felt to how one of leonardo da vinci apprentice must have felt when he the mona lisa & supposedly started to tear up as well.

i personally think you've captured the essence of some expression very truthfully & that is the definition of beauty.

glad you enjoyed it. you might also enjoy you some chet baker. one of my favorites:

[–]redlinezo6 0 points1 point ago

So, ordered a few prints, and my order was cancelled a couple weeks later, no explanation, no response to any emails I sent... What happen?

[–]veritas_maori 34 points35 points ago

My wife and I are expecting a son (he's due today actually, here's hoping he's on time!) and were arguing over whether to do a Winnie the Pooh theme or a Star Wars theme for his room. Looks like I just found the best compromise ever. Thanks for posting this!

[–]ajmint 7 points8 points ago

You definitely want to read him the original Pooh stories though, they are amazing.

Oh, and congratulations!

[–]metalbiscuits 1 point2 points ago

My twins are due in September and I just told my wife we're returning the stuff we already bought because I just purchased the book and a few of these prints!

[–]bucki_fan 0 points1 point ago

Was introduced to this a few months ago on io9(don't downvote for that... get over yourself Reddit) and when we found out that we were pregnant, this was one of the first questions that my wife asked.

Yes, my wife rocks.

I'll probably order one or two prints for the nursery and the rest will be a Disney/Pooh theme.

[–]PinkyIsTheBrain 1 point2 points ago

What are these lies about the existence of other websites?

[–]Janyboy83 13 points14 points ago

Do you know who created this?

[–]ooja 51 points52 points ago

This is by the very awesome James Hance

[–]iamagainstit 4 points5 points ago

the rest of the series

[–]BurningBright[S] 11 points12 points ago

Thanks for providing a source. I couldn't find one and it's nice to see the artist get recognition.

[–]Handout 1 point2 points ago

He lives not too far from me. He's always signing these and his other artworks at my local comic shop. Really nice guy... Great comic shop too!

[–]brokenboomerang 0 points1 point ago

He always posts on fb when he's going to do signings and I'm always soooo sad that I'm so far away.

[–]ooja 0 points1 point ago

No problem! Saw it posted on the Facebook timeline of a company a while back and tracked it down because it was so good.

[–]Bitter_Idealist 0 points1 point ago

Not only nice, but you are supposed to provide a link to the artist when you post their work here.

[–]TeamFluff 1 point2 points ago

Thank you so much for this. My two sons need to have this book in their lives.

[–]thisisacomment 0 points1 point ago

[–]Apophilius 104 points105 points ago

I think you mean "Chewie the wook."

[–]GeneralWarts 39 points40 points ago

For anyone who's not seeing it, this is a play on Winnie the Pooh.

Thus the reason for how he worded the title.

[–]Apophilius 4 points5 points ago

Right, sounds similar. Just call me a stickler when it comes to sentence organization :P.

[–]zombiesunlimited 8 points9 points ago

Winnie is his name. Pooh is his .. mood? Wookie is his species. Chewie is his name.

If we were to stick to this nomenclature then 'Chewie the Wook' would be the correct format I believe.

[–]brittsuzanne 9 points10 points ago

I believe he is a "Pooh Bear".. So "Pooh" is a type of bear? Anyway.. yes I believe Chewie the Wook would be correct.

[–]M0b1u5 0 points1 point ago

I think you misunderestimated this entirely.

It is Winnier ther Pooh.

And as everybody who is anybody knows, "ther" is a completely different thing to "the"! Ther is far superior, and very important.

[–]zobee 8 points9 points ago

Chew and pooh rhyme. Lets keep it simple.

[–]janedoes 5 points6 points ago

Um, the artist who created this print has an entire series about this character, which he named "Wookie the Chew". The artist created this character, OP did not come up with the name. There is no mistake here, or "format" issue. It's a character invented by an artist, and it's name is Wookie the Chew. Go check out his art, you'll understand, he mixes things up a lot. My favorite painting of his is called "The Millenium Falcor", for example.

[–]katmaidog 0 points1 point ago

And the artist's name?

[–]nextyoyoma 0 points1 point ago

James Hance

[–]katmaidog 0 points1 point ago

Thanks!

[–]zombiesunlimited -2 points-1 points ago

My OCD was going off probably just as much as Apophilius'. I guess it's just preference on what we would like to call it, the play on words is similiar vs naming convention. So we'll agree to to disagree, at any rate I would love to check out "The Millenium Falcor".

[–]soggy_cereal 2 points3 points ago

Aw shit you bustin out new words for me!

[–]zombiesunlimited 1 point2 points ago

Add that one to your lexicon. <- and that one.

[–]soggy_cereal 2 points3 points ago

Eh, already got lexicon... Thanks though!

Banal. That's a good word I learned recently.

[–]zombiesunlimited 1 point2 points ago

That's a good one. I recently learned bereft.

I'm glad Tigger isn't there. I have a sneaking suspicion it would be Jar Jar Binks.

[–]oscaron 13 points14 points ago

Actually...

Tiger...Maul...bwahahaha!

[–]WhoWatchesTheWatcher 2 points3 points ago

No... because, you see, Luke is Tigger.

James Hance kicks ass. He also does amazing tshirts and prints of his art.

[–]oscaron 0 points1 point ago

Then it's a good thing Han removed the stick from it.

I have this book. Sadly there are very few pics and they aren't colorized. Great idea and cute pics though.

[–]1nkling 0 points1 point ago

Ah, you'll like the new full colour 'art book' that James is currently working on then..

[–]nextyoyoma 0 points1 point ago

I wrote a song that is going to be included in his next audiobook (probably). His art is amazing.

[–]squierhacker 0 points1 point ago

Great! Thanks a lot! Now a song that doesn't even exist and I have NEVER even heard before is stuck in my head.

Chewie looks like a Berenstein bear.

[–]rexxfiend 0 points1 point ago

There's also this: http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7gc6nuOgY1qa9armo1_r7_500.jpg (The designer is here: http://www.redbubble.com/people/krisvahl/journal/7391179-chewie-and-han-ride-off-into-the-sunset but he's taken it down for some reason).

I love this design, it makes me smile every time I see it. I wanted a picture but he only sold them as T-Shirts so the missus bought a T-shirt and framed it for my birthday. It's now hanging on the stairs. Best present ever! ;-)

[–]Rorbotron 0 points1 point ago

James Hance is the man. I've been checking his site for the better part of a year and a half. His stuff is great and the prints come delivered with a great deal of care involved.

[–]srobison62 0 points1 point ago

Thank you so much for putting this on here, what an amazing thing this dad is doing! I just had a little girl myself and though I don't have his talent I know I would do anything I could for her. I bought three prints for her room, not only because I love star wars, but because I love what this represents.

[–]Jubtron 0 points1 point ago

Wookie the chew! I have a comic book of this concept. Very cool! The bees in the original are now TIE fighters that come out of a hive that looks like the death star.

[–]joethebuilder 0 points1 point ago

James Hance. He's a friend of a friend and he lives down the road from me. My wife and I put one of his prints in our baby girl's room. Awesome artist.

My heart and many positive thoughts go out to Maddison and her family.
