Hey Everyone, 


My foil card puzzle artwork and Yoda Teaching the Younglings base card artwork for Topps new Star Wars Galaxy Series 4 trading cards has been added to my official site. You can check them out in this Star Wars gallery here.


The foil card artwork is broken up into six individual, foil embossed trading card images and connects to the previous set of Topps trading cards illustrated by Jan Duursema to complete one long panoramic image started by Walt Simonson for Star Wars Galaxy Series 1. And much credit goes to my collaborator and fellow sketch card artist Brian Miller for helping me create this new Star Wars artwork in full color.

 

By the way, that's my daughter in the lower left corner of the base card artwork as the Padawan looking up at Yoda. She's also the Padawan in the background of The Padawans Face General Grievous art for Star Wars Insider #86 in this gallery right here (on the third gallery page).


Don't worry, I made sure Yoda trained her well ;)


I'm offering this original art for Yoda Teaching the Younglings currently on eBay and it comes with some free items. You can check it out here.


I've also added my sketch cards for Star Wars Galaxy Series 4 and Clone Wars in these new galleries here and here.


For more info on Star Wars Galaxy Series 4 check out the official website right here.


I'm also offering other original Star Wars artwork from Star Wars Insider and original cover artwork for Star Trek and Farscape. You can check out all the art currently up for auction right here.


I'll have more cover artwork auctions starting later tonight for Doctor WHO, Buckaroo Banzai and some other artwork as well. Feel free to bid if you're interested and keep your eyes peeled for more of my art on eBay tonight and in the coming weeks.

A few months back I was interviewed about my artwork for Indiana Jones by the crew at Indiana Jones Collectors.com. Follow this link to check out the interview and see some of my recent Indy artwork for Topps.


I've also recently added new Farscape and GI Joe: Rise of Cobra cover artwork my official website here and here.

I hope everyone enjoys the new artwork and I'll be back soon with more updates.


Thanks for looking and thanks for the support!

UPDATE 4/3/09 


These auctions were temporarily removed by eBay due to a listing error but have since been reinstated and are back online. I had accidentally forgot to edit a line from the text of an older auction template I was using for these stating that "all checks must first clear" for my payment options and eBay no longer accepts payment for customers via check or money order. So instead of giving me a heads up warning they just axed them but they were brought back online immediately. Ugh... oh well. Thanks for understanding everyone and thanks for your patience and for your support!


And good luck bidding!

I'm currently hard at work on new art for Star Wars Galaxy 4, the new trading card series on its way early next year from Topps. I'm providing the artwork for the six card, foil etched puzzle set which connects to previous Star Wars foil puzzle sets illustrated by comic book artists Jan Duursema and Walt Simonson. Also included in this set will be my actual pencil art for this full color puzzle card illustration as 1/1 original art pieces.

One of my illustrations, "The Great Remorse of Darth Vader" (seen here), was just released as a preview trading card for the set as well in Previews magazine. Topps may include it in the actual set as a base card I believe.

I've also been commissioned to create a new base card illustration for the set which is entitled "Yoda and the Younglings". I'm currently illustrating that new artwork at this moment.

Finally, I'll be illustrating 106 artist sketch cards for this set which will be randomly inserted into packs of cards for the product.

For more information, including previews of my artwork for this set, stay tuned here and to the official Topps website.

I was recently interviewed by author Rich Handley, a freelance writer for an affiliate website of Roddenberry.com (a multimedia entertainment site providing authentic merchandise and memorabilia for the true science fiction fan from the name that brought you Star Trek). I had a fun time answering his questions and talking about my Star Trek artwork for IDW Publishing along with my Star Wars work and upcoming projects. Feel free to check out my new interview posted at World Famous Comics.com right here -

As always, thanks for the support and I hope everyone enjoys the new artwork.

By the way, I recently returned from Star Wars Fan Days II in Texas this past weekend and I wanted to give a big thanks to *everyone* who came out to the show to see us there. I especially want to thank anyone who stopped by my table and picked up some artwork from me or just stopped by to chat, say hi and see what projects I've been working on. I had a really great time and I already look forward to next year if the Official Pix crew in Dallas set up the show again.

Thanks again everyone,
