Was inspired to do this cause of the 30th anniversary of my all time favorite film "The Empire Strikes Back" and it is kind of a companion piece to the Mos Eisley Cantina one i did a while back.

Aside from Boba Fett, these guys were only on screen for a minute or so, but oh how badass they looked!
Also, I'll be at Wizard World Philadelphia this weekend in Artist Alley at table 1240.

If you're there, swing on by and say hello! Details about the con below:

Mallows @ SDCC

I was recently asked to do some customs on this new platform toy by Shocker Toys called Mallows. These 2 designs will be on display at the Shocker Toys booth (#3849) @ San Diego Comic Con, and at an after party hosted by Shocker. The figure is made from plastic, not vinyl, but has 10 points of articulation. It's pretty cool, hope to see some good things coming from it. The zombie looking one is called "Hipster Holocaust," and was mainly done in spray paint, with some detail drown in w/ markers. The tattooed one is named "Just Say No," and all the details were drawn in w/ markers. I wanted to texture on him to resemble old flash sheets at a tattoo shop.
I also designed/illustrated this logo to be used on a custom toy set for October Toys only available at SDCC. This will be on the chase figure, and the button set. You can pick up your Evil Gwin @ the October Toys booth (#4838).

*Baltimore Comic Con 08 {Part 3}*

Here's more Baltimore Comic Con goodness. Below are some of the great artists & companies who attended the show.

Guy Davis has become my new hero in comics, for the fact that the man can draw almost anything (especially monsters) and he's also super nice and approachable person. He also drew a sketch for anyone who came up to him and asked. Here's my proof.



Paul Conrad, another great artist I had the pleasure to talk to and actually stopped by our table for a bit. Paul was at the event under AdHouse Books, a great publishing company with volumes of great original titles.



Please check out Paul's Blog when you get a chance. He's got volumes & volumes of amazing work and processes to show! Here are two exclusive posters he made for this year's con. They're awesome!
