Most of us remember the first time we saw “Star Wars.” Its iconic imagery is etched in our collective mind’s eye forever.
CSUF art professor Cliff Cramp is now tasked with conjuring up those images in paint. He recently signed a licensing deal for fine art based on “Star Wars,” “Indiana Jones,” “Firefly” and “Halo.”
Professor of art Cliff Cramp’s cover illustration of the “Blake Edwards’ The Pink Panther” film series on Blu-ray is the latest of a long list of cover art that he has created for books and TV and film collections. Others include the Blu-ray collection of “Star Wars: The Complete Saga” and the DVD set of “All in the Family: The Complete Series.”

Illustrator Cliff Cramp has worked with Lucasfilm, 20th Century Fox, Disney and Nickelodeon – but some of his most exciting moments are when he walks through his classroom doors at Cal State Fullerton to meet his new students each semester.
