Clone Wars

Thu Oct 1, 2009, 1:01 PM
Well, just finished my latest project.

over the past couple of weeks, ive been working on a new LucasFilm, Star Wars Set of trading cards. Sketch Cards to be exact. And im very happy to be done as the deadline was rapidly approaching and i needed to get in gear.

I did only 106 cards this time due to my schedule, but it was a lot of fun...

For those not familiar with the process...

Topps.Inc does and has been doing trading cards for decades, Recently they have started doing Sketch Cards. Artist are invited to hand sketch, draw, paint on individual sketch cards that are packaged as is right into a packet. NO reprints, recreation, but an original sketch of one of your favorite artist. This time around the number of cards was made less as they wanted the cards to have more value and they got very selective with the artists involved.

Around 50 artists will be involved drawing between 50-200 cards each. The cards will be available world wide. The average change of getting a card is 1 per every 2 cases. Each case contains 48 packets, Each packet has around 7 cards. So its on out of every 692 cards out there that youll get one.


These become collectibles and are sold on ebay as high as $1200,oo for ONE card depending on the artists. Mine have been sold between $30 - $600, depending on character, theme and set.

The clone wars is out latest set, and these are a preview of some of the cards i did....

let me know what you think. Remember that the cards is about 2.5"x4" so the drawing area is really small. Trading Card, but widevision
