May The 4th Be With You!

My whiteboard today.

May the 4th... you know....

Like Jedi Mike Tyson says, "May the Fourth be with you!"

Click Bait

So, if you read this blog from time to time, you know I'm a bit nerdy and a few days ago I posted this.

I thought that 15 year old painting would get some nice attention if I posted it to the Star Wars Google+ Community.
What did I get?
Nothing.
One solitary +1 from a community of  over 115,000 users. One lousy click.
And it's not like other posts weren't getting attention. Other posts, lousy ones, were easily getting dozens of clicks.

So I decided I needed to game the system. I needed to come up with something those geeks would click. So why not Darth Maul? Dorks love Darth Maul. Even the ones who hate Phantom Menace still love Darth Maul.
It was sure to get clicks.

It topped out at 83 +1's.

Meanwhile a half naked lady in an Ewok t-shirt got over 250.
I think maybe I should just stop trying to impress dorks.

May the Fourth of July Be With You

A nerdy painting I made... oh geez, fifteen years ago I think? Maybe fourteen years ago? I was digging through some old stuff recently and found it.

Four is Thirty-Seven

Star Wars turns 37 today.

(my second attempt at this portrait, this time with pencil and Prismacolor on cardboard rather than Copic markers- I think this one turned out a bit better)

Here's Your Popcorn Bub

I doodled on our popcorn box at the theater after "Days of Future Past."

Listen Bud, He's Got Radioactive Blood

I thought "Amazing Spider-Man 2" was pretty much not amazing and in fact actually terrible, but Spider-Man is still a cool looking character who's fun to draw, so there you go.

It's a pencil drawing on grey paper with a bit of white Prismacolor that I then scanned and colored up in Photoshop.

Yoda One for Me

May the Fourth Be With You!

Leia? I Hardly Know Ya!

Playing around with my Copic Markers.

The Light Side

The original pencil sketch for that Darth Vader picture I practiced my Copics on.

Who's your daddy?

Take two with the Copic markers, this time with something more nerdy.
I managed not to get a big splotch of mistake on it this time and added a dab of Prismacolor for some darker darks and a smidge of Photoshop to blur to the background to finish it out.

May the Fourth of July Be With You

A Star Wars drawing I made, which thanks to the freedom of expression we enjoy here in America I was able to make. Although it may violate the copyright laws we enjoy here in America...

Happy Independence Day!

More dorkiness....

Further dorkiness...

May the 4th be with you!

I did this back in 2001.
It was for some Star Wars fanart contest thingy I think, but who can remember. It's Prismacolor markers and colored pencils.
