Star Wars Illustrated Commissions Now Open!

Hey Folks, the gift giving season is here! I recently received 10 blank double-wide Star Wars Illustrated sketch cards from Topps and I am now taking commissions. They are $75 for B&W and $100 for full color. These are on a first come first serve basis. E-mail me at jasonp [at] manlyart.com if you are interested.

Here's a little sketch card process video I cobbled together to give you an idea of what you'll be getting...

Ok, I put up another one of my Mars Attacks artist return* sketch cards on eBay. This was one of my favorites. It shows a close encounter of a very different kind. :)

*Artist return cards are cards chosen by the artist to be returned to him/her after the set is released. The number of cards returned is determined by the number of sketch cards the artist did for the set.

Alright kiddies! Designer Con is this weekend in Pasadena, Ca. Come by, say "Hi" and pick up some cool stuff!

Pimp2-D2's on eBay...

Since I sold Pimp2-D2's this weekend a couple have popped up on eBay at ridiculous prices and misleading info. If you want a Pimp2-D2, I will have 25 more at D-Con next weekend and will be doing an internet release later in the month. PLEASE don't pay $300+ for a this toy. You'll have a good shot at getting one for $50 if you're patient. That is all.

Comikaze Expo

Pimp2-D2 PSA

A little more about Pimp2-D2 to clear the air. The truth has started getting blown out of proportion from eBay listings, etc.
So here are some fun facts about Pimp2-D2...

This was never a limited run. I made 40 for NYCC. 25 for general release, 15 for friends, colleagues, etc. I will be making more. The next release will be at Designer Con in Pasadena next month. After that, I will do an internet release.

The "early bird" packaging will remain exclusive for New York Comic-Con. The next release will have slightly different packaging.

Pimp2-D2 has NOT been formally banned by Lucasfilm or Disney. At least not yet.

There is always the possibility that I could receive a cease-and-desist from Lucasfilm, in which case there would be no more made. Until that happens though, I will keep making them at least through one internet release.

Pimp2-D2 public service announcement...

Pimp2-D2 public service announcement..., a photo by Manly Art on Flickr.

Hey folks, this is a little public service announcement.

Pimp2-D2 sold out at NYCC, but fear not, there should be an internet release in mid-late November.

Please don't buy one from the flippers on eBay. The two I've seen posted are asking ridiculously high prices. Be patient.

Tiki Trips Tee!

Tiki Tee Front, a photo by Manly Art on Flickr.

My high school friend Dena contacted me recently to design a t-shirt for her Tiki Trips travel agency. They are in the process of making a pilot for a TV show about the travel industry and she wanted something fresh for the groups that go on her trips.

It was a pretty fun challenge. This is a 4 color design on a turquoise shirt and I had to keep her moai character it's signature purple with green eyes. I'm really happy with how it came out! I'm looking forward to seeing the production shirt.

This is the back of the shirt. She wanted to have a list of places they've been and places that are on the Tiki Trips bucket list. The original shirt had a shorter list set up like a band tour shirt. I suggested having the names in the shape of her moai head and she loved the idea. I was happy with the results.

Check out Dena's site and go on your own Tiki Trip!
