Illustrating Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-Ray
I remember when I was a small child being loaded into the back of our Ford Fairlane Station Wagon with my brother and carted off to the Drive-in so that mom and dad could enjoy a night at the movies. They had enough cash to see the movie, but not enough for a babysitter, so we tagged along. Their enthusiasm for movies waned in the subsequent years because of their hectic schedules. The family nights at the theatre stopped. Then one day in late May 1977, my dad came into my room and asked if I wanted to see a movie with him. I said sure. We went to our small local theatre, took our seats, and settled in for the film that was all the rage. We were hoping that the hype would be a reality. We were hooked the moment the title splashed onto the screen, STAR WARS, then the opening crawl. The creative flame was fanned.
Thirty-four years later… It is with great pleasure that I can announce my involvement with Menagerie Creative, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and Lucasfilm to create packaging for the long-anticipated Star Wars: The Complete Saga on Blu-ray. The opportunity to illustrate the covers was a privilege. The illustrations include; The Complete Saga Box, The Original Trilogy Box, The Prequel Trilogy Box, and several illustrations inside the packaging. The project brought me back together with long time friend Cheryl Savala, Creative Director for Menagerie Creative. Cheryl and I studied illustration at California State University Fullerton and have worked on several projects together over the years. It was a treat to be teamed again with the talented crew at Menagerie Creative.
This summer I walked into the main convention hall at The San Diego Comic-Con International and experienced a brief geek-out moment. Seeing the illustrations at larger than life size can do that to you; and realizing, I’m linked, in a small way, to the Star Wars legacy forever. I think my dad would have gotten a kick out of that. The experience was made even better after meeting several of the nice people from Twentieth Century Fox and Lucasfilm. I would like to thank Menagerie Creative, Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment and Lucasfilm for this wonderful and memorable opportunity.

Hole In One!!
I have a standing tee time every Friday at 6:00 AM.
Today at 7:25, I pulled out an 8-iron on the 7th tee.
147 yards to the middle of the green.
Hole placement - back, center-right.
Struck the ball clean, center-left, high with a very slight fade.
Ball landed 6 inches above the hole, slightly left.
One bounce back and to the right and in the cup.

Patton And Aliens
As I watched the trailer for the upcoming movie "Cowboys and Aliens", I noticed a scene that looked similar to the fictitious scene in Patton where he shoots at an oncoming German plane. So I thought I would do an illustration where Patton gets ready to shoot at an alien ship. Patton and Aliens!

Speed Paint Demo 3-3-11
Well, when my 8 year old saw what I had done yesterday for his brother, he wanted one also. So my classes had to endure tank demos this week. We focused on painting the ground in these. I'll finish this one also.

Quick paint Demo 3-2-11
This one is for my 10 year old son. He's had a bit of a trying time of late. He's into tanks right now so I thought I would do a WW1 tank for him for this weeks demo. He liked it. I'll finish this one - adding some soldiers milling around in the rain.
