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 -
