Star Wars : The Clone Wars

Okay, so I meant to post this a little while back, but as always (I know, I suck) the craziness in my life took over. You may or may not have noticed on the right of this column there’s a list of all of the current projects (mainly sketch card sets) that I’ve worked on, or am presently working on. At the top of that list is Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Dude. I’m freakin’. If anyone knows me, they know that I’m a huge Star Wars nut, and have this kid-like look on my face whenever I talk about it. Well, it is indeed true, I am officially working on the Clone Wars sketch card set from the good folks over at Topps promoting the new series debuting theatrically on August 15th. This is my first Official Star Wars project, and I’m completely going nuts! I’m hoping this may lead to other possible SW projects in the future. All I can do is kick some serious arse on this set, and hope for the best! 🙂 So, look for some possible fan art in the near future as a precursor to the actual cards themselves…

Iron Man

I was fortunate enough to see an advanced screening of ol’ shellhead last night at 11:30 in a DLP (Digital Projection) theater. When I walked out of the theater, I was speechless. Jon Favereau completely outdid himself here. Casting, effects/animation, story, etc.. all exquisite. Ever since I was a kid, my 2 fave supes were Batman and Iron Man, so as you can probably imagine I’m walking on cloud nine right now (including the much anticipated release of The Dark Knight). I mean Robert Downey Jr. completely nailed it…completely! To top it all off, a very close friend of mine from high school, Jon Braver (a professional stuntman/actor), was in it also…he had a lot of screen time. He was also in Indy 4, which you will probably see a brand new trailer for in front of this movie. So, chock full of awesomness all the way around!

Oh, and a quick nod to the real fanboys out there, stay in the theater until the credits are done, and you’ll get to see a bonus clip, which is a very cool segue lead-in to the sequel.

I’m so posting some fan art very soon!
