Widevision Artist Return Card: Ahsoka/Twilight

Another one of my Artist Return Cards for the Clone Wars Widevision set that came out this week. This one's up for grabs. If you're interested in buying it, email me at grantgoboom@gmail.com

White Album in Non-Sport Update

NSU posted a sample article from their latest issue (you can find the magazine in all major bookstores). It features The White Album, the Beatles art tribute book that I contributed to. Check it out right over here. By the way, I still have copies of the book available - signed by all 13 artists. If you're interested in buying one, shoot me an email. :)

Widevision Sketch Cards: Batch 3

Clone Wars Widevision releases this week. By wednesday your local comic and hobby shops should have it in stock (and I believe it'll be available at Target, too). Here are three of my artist return cards that are already spoken for. If you're interested in a return card, shoot me an email: grantgoboom@gmail.com. I only have a few left.

Clone Wars Season 1 DVD/Blu-ray

The Clone Wars Season 1 is now in stores! (Read all about it.) I'm pretty excited about the fact that my art appears - albeit briefly - on one of the extra features. On DVD: On the 4th disc, when you're on "Blue Shadow Virus" on the episode menu, click left until the little shape highlights over Anakin, and there's an easter egg promo for StarWars.com. They show webcomic pages by me, Tom Hodges, and Katie Cook. On Blu-ray: On disc 1, look under Special Features, then look under Trailers. The StarWars.com promo should be there. :)

My apologies for the lack of new artwork on my site here lately -- I've been busy working on a few Star Wars related things that I can't talk about yet. Hopefully I'll be able to show something soon.

Widevision Sketch Cards: Batch 2

Here's a look at some more of my sketches for the Clone Wars Widevision set. I did 150 cards, so this is just a small sampling (check out my first batch of samples here). Like the last few sets, I went for variety - from pencil sketches to full color.

Fan Days Rundown

Texas was a great time! I had tons of fun hanging out with my pals, and my cousin Emily and her husband Michael came to the show, which was awesome -- it all flew by way too quickly. As always, I had a good time talking to fans and meeting new faces, and I'm happy to report that I sold out of my special Fan Days sketchbooks! If you pre-ordered one before the show - don't worry, they're on their way. If you didn't pre-order and you weren't at the show, yerr outta luck. :)

I had the pleasure of meeting and chatting with James Burns of JediNews.co.uk - really cool guy. Rebelscum founder Philip Wise once again invited everyone to his museum of Star Wars collectibles - always an awesome experience. I had a chance to talk to all of the Clone Wars voice actors, who are all incredibly nice (and attractive), and some of the usual celebs that go to these shows. I'm forgetting a million details, but that's okay - Over all, I loved the show and am glad my last convention of the year was a great one.

If you want to check out my photos from the show, here's a gallery.

And I've had a few people asking about Fan Days III sketchcards. YES, I will definitely be selling full-color Fan Days III sketch cards. I plan on posting details soon, so keep an eye out for that.

Thanks again to everyone who came out to Texas. Fan Days was awesome. Lookin' forward to going again next year.

Bane Return Card Process

I'm back from Fan Days III - had a great time, will definitely be posting a "con review" sometime soon. I have a lot to catch up on, including emails and SLEEP. For now, here's a quick series of process shots, showing how I created this Cad Bane sketch card.
