Comikaze Expo is this weekend in LA and yours truly will have not one, but TWO tables in artist alley! I will be selling prints, original art, stickers, doing commissions and I will have a small number of Pimp2-D2's on hand.

Come see me at tables AA715 & AA716!

These are a couple of the sketch cards I did for the Topps Star Wars Illustrated card set based on the PBS Episode IV Radio Drama. These are double-wide folded sketch cards, hence the crease in the middle.

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...

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.
