Ree Yees Action Figure Blister Card Photoart for
Here you see the original piece of photoart that used to create the image that adorned millions of Ree Yees blister cards worldwide. It's basically a photograph that has been modified and enhanced in order to make it ideal for printed reproduction. You should be able to see numerous areas where air-brushing was used to block out photographic details, most notably C-3PO's big golden head. Air-brushing seems to have been used extensively in the upper portions of the photograph. Note the overspray that extends above the image and into the paper on which it is mounted.
