Zawiah is a fan artist from Malaysia whose Star Wars and Harrison Ford fan art has won numerous awards.
In addition to illustrating fanzines and fan comics, Zawiah has also written fan fiction that can be found archived here. Some of her art can also be found illustrating stories in the charity fanzine series The Less Than Legendary Journeys here.
The majority of her art was lost when FortuneCity shut down abruptly in 2012, although some has been captured here by the WayBack Machine. A single screencap of a Google image search of her site is below.
From Zawiah's web gallery:
I love to draw and I love to read comics ever since I can remember. Then I met Harrison Ford. Onscreen, that is. It took 7 more years for the crush to settle in, and it never got out. I thought his character Indy Jones was a marvellous subject matter to practise drawing on. Still haven't stopped practising tho. It spreaded out to that other 'brother' Han Solo, and then to John Book, and Rick Deckard and whoever else that looks like Harrison...
Awards
- FanQ (2001)
- Star aWard (2000)
Some of her comics can also be found archived on her earlier fansite here
Filk
Zawiah wrote a filk song, One Fine Day Before Raya which is to be sung to the tune of 'Satu Hari Di Hari Raya' by M. Nasir. It describes the connection she felt with the character of Han Solo when she saw Star Wars for the first time as a child.
- One fine day before Raya
- Han Solo came over to my house
- Chewbacca came along without a pause
- They parked the Falcon way over there
- Then said they wanna help me prepare
- One fine day before Raya
- Han Solo came over and said to me
- He wanted to help make the cookies,
- lemang, ketupats and rendang, ay!
- I couldn't really believe my eyes!
- One fine day before Raya
- Han helped me weaving ketupat
- But Chewie's hands got tied up
- So strong, eh what?
- One fine day before Raya
- Han helped me cook the lemang
- From morning until sundown
- I was startled!
- Could that lemang really go with the rendang
- One fine day before Raya
- Han Solo came over to help me
- In the kitchen to bake cookies
- But I said, "No thanks, I'll manage,
- You please hang up the curtains instead!"
- One fine day before Raya....

!["Medium: pencil, colored in Adobe Photoshop (37x27 cm) This piece actually was one of my personal favorites among all the submissions, because I've never seen anything like it before. Both humorous and exacting in its detail (compare it to the film -- go ahead!!!), it's fun to see Indy in all of his guises throughout RAIDERS. I truly love this work -- so much so that I printed a copy out and placed it on my fridge!" [1]](/w/images/thumb/b/ba/Indyfan.jpg/180px-Indyfan.jpg)
