Please don't not request to color my B&W artwork. Unfortunately, when you do that, it ends up on the web in a search for my name, looking like I did the color art. Thank you for your understanding.

Interests
I'm thrilled to announce my latest project.  Coming this September from Dark Horse Comics, THE STAR WARS #1, the first of eight issues that adapt George Lucas 1974 screenplay "THE STAR WARS".  

I saw STAR WARS in 1977 when I was seven years old, and it was probably the most formative experience of my childhood.  To draw a story written entirely by George Lucas, is a dream come true for me.  I still can't believe it!

The '74 draft is completely different from the original STAR WARS film, but has similar moments from all six of the SW films.  It's an amazing story, with more action, more drama, and more everything than the first film.  This screenplay would have been impossible to film back then,  which is in large part the reason for the revision to the story.  

The first preview page is in my gallery that introduces the main hero, Annikin Starkiller, the son of one of the last surviving Jedi.  

I look forward to sharing more art and updates with you!

Be sure to spread the word about this project!  And, express your interest to your retailer!  I'll let you know when the book is in the PREVIEWS catalog and available for pre-order.

Thanks!

Mind posting your work from Upper Deck, Marvel Premier if you have scans? Curious how many sketch cards you did. Nice work!

I'd like to ask you how you make your own art in acrylic. You use the paint with water like watercolor or ink you use pure?

I water down the acrylic and use it like watercolor, glazing thin layers of paint on top of each other. Then I use some airbrush to soften brush-strokes.
