STAR WARS BLACK & WHITE

Looking back at these cards made me realise how much I enjoyed drawing these characters. Although I branched out and added character's from the full six films. My heart truly belongs to the characters of the first trilogy.


I do love the classics.

TOPPS GALAXY FULL COLOUR CARDS

I noticed today the Star Wars Galaxy cards I produced have started to enter circulation. I found that one had popped up on ebay. To keep a record I scanned many of the cards I produced before posting them off to Topps. Over the next few days I will post pictures of the cards in circulation so you have an idea what to look out for.



Here's a further selection of the colour cards, so keep a look out!

May the Force Be With You!

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU

Recently I received my return cars from the STAR WARS Galaxy Set
that I produced for Series 6.
I created 100 in total.

I also produced 50 Red Star Wars Galaxy Cards.
These were Target Exclusives to be packaged exclusively
in the packs on sale at Target stores!

Each card I illustrated in this set is a one-of-a-kind,
there are no duplicates.

The 'return cards' pictured can be purchased directly from me.
Although Bobba Fett is already gone! :)

ORBITAL TRANSFORMATIONS

I recently did a quick gig at Orbital Comics in Leicester Square to promote the Transformers Dark Side of the Moon game. Where I was joined by a host of media types in an effort to show them "How to Draw a Decepticon"

ANTWERP SCI-FI FANTASY & HORROR CONVENTION

I was invited out to the First Antwerp Expo Sci-fi show which took place on May 1st. My first time at a Belgium show and it was great. A big thank you to Lode Green the man responsible for putting on such a great show and for inviting me over there. The show had a fun friendly atmosphere and showed what a great crowd of sci-fi fanatics come to these shows.


After a quick hop, skip and a jump across the pond I was met at the airport by the girls from Infinity cars. Eva , Sam and Dominique who ferried us about for the weekend. Thank you girls, it was much appreciated. On the Saturday evening I got to taste my first Belgium beer in the company of the other invited guests. I got to hang out and chat with a few of them including William B. Davis (The Cigarette smoking man of x-files fame) Scott Capurro (Comedian and Wright Stuff regular) and Uwe Boll (Director) who hopefully I will be doing an upcoming project with. Also it was great to catch up with Danny & Stjepko, I raise my glass to you guys.


The show itself was fantastic, Much bigger than I had expected and with a wide variety of dealers tables, displays and choice. It would have been great to have more time to explore the show and for that matter Antwerp itself. As it was I only got to get up from my table for a brief moment to take a quick look and leak. I don't think I have ever been so inundated or sketched so hard.


After such a long and draining day I was taken well care of by the show organizers who put on a meal for all the guests to enjoy. I got to meet Fred "The Hammer" Williamson, who kindly agreed to let me use his likeness in a comic idea I am working on. Yes 'The Hammer" will now be appearing. More to come....


Again a big thank you to Lode Green for creating and organizing such a fabulous show. After such a great time I was kind of sad to be leaving Antwerp, but once I was on my plane it was Up Up and Away.

ESSEN MOVIE EVENT REVIEW

I was recently invited to The Movie Event in Essen Germany. A quick trip, two flights and I was there. Within 30minutes of me arriving at the hotel I was bundled into a convoy of vehicles and whisked off for an evening out. After enjoying a refreshing German Beer I ordered what I thought was a well done steak, however my fellow artist Andree Schneider who was translating the Menu for me, decided he would order me a Rare one. So Rare that just by looking intently into it, the blood would gush out.

I still enjoyed it though, and yes the beer helped.

After the meal we were treated to an evenings ten pin bowling, all within the same venue which was almost tardis like. That is if the tardis had the fascia of an old cottage and was full of German's drinking. At the back of the venue there was a lone skittle alley. Unusually the skittles were attached to strings, so every time they got back up they would look like they were dancing.

We were separated into two teams, Left and Right. I was on the Right side of course. Ernie Hudson was on the left and he was a good laugh. Ian 'Predator' White who was on my team kept banging his 7'1 head on the ceiling giving me a good laugh. All in all It was a great experience.





In the morning we were picked up in a black stretch limo flanked by a New York Police car & Bomb Squad vehicle. Being cramped into a limo with Gunnar Hanson, Ernie Hudson, Ian Whyte, Barbara Nedeljakova & Douglass Tait is not how I usually spend my Sunday Mornings.

However I do make an exception now and then.

Here's the YouTube clip.


The show was great, the fans were up for a good time. Thank you to all those that came to have a chat and get sketches. You were much appreciated. As per usual I was useless at remembering to take photos of my sketches during the show let alone pics of the event. A big thank you to those who did take pictures. I swiped them, after all that's what the webs for isn't it?

So Thank You to those who did, especially Artist Richard Van Ekeren for sending me the guitar pic. Also a big thank you to Stephan Prietzel for inviting me. Although we barely got time to speak I appreciated how well Stephan & Angelo Zannin organised the show.


I also saw Ernie Hudson give the Stay Puft Marshmallow man some Ghostbuster Love.

Oh and here's some sketches!
