Star Wars: Galaxy VII Sketch Cards

Back in 2004, I worked on my first set of Star Wars sketch cards for Topps and Lucasfilm. Since then I've worked on one or two sets a year and have really enjoyed this work. If you're not familiar with sketch cards, they are one of a kind works of art found in hobby boxes (hobby boxes are purchased direct through Topps and contain several packs of cards, one of which contains a randomly inserted sketch). The rules are simple: sketch whatever you like, in whatever medium you like. At times, I've pushed the limits of the word 'sketch' by offering fairly tight, highly rendered mini-paintings. Lately, I prefer to stick to pencil and within the realm of the word 'sketch', but I'll still include a few more fancied-up cards because I can be more expressive with color. And it's fun. Sometimes after I've sketched a card, it just begs to be colored,so if time allows, I'll grab the Copics and have it. I've created a separate blog where you can all 100 of my cards cards for the new set, Star Wars: Galaxy VII. Of those, a small percentage will be color. I'll scan all my cards and post them as they get approved by Topps.
