I am pleased to announce that I have finished another 100 Sketch Cards for Marvel and all 100 were approved!  I’ll be making a new button to the right of the screen to show off the cards, but until then here’s a couple of cards.

I tried to do something fun and show a “how-to” sort of process with the cards.  So, I drew 20 character and made each character have a 5 step process to a completed sketch card.

Here are some character designs that I’m working on for a little animation.

I’m working on a couple of different projects right now and have been making some backgrounds.  It’s pretty tough work!  I start out with a rough sketch for the animatic.  Then I clean it up in flash and add a depth of field and lighting effect in photoshop.

The left over prints that I did exclusively for Celebration Japan are now available on the Star Wars Shop.  Click here to go and get one.  The prints are on pre-order for the next 2 weeks.

I had an interview about my Celebration Japan Print posted on the Official Star Wars Blog, and now the artists prints are on the main site.  Go to here to read about it and to see the other art prints.

The San Diego ComicCon is right after Celebration Japan.  I have made arrangements so that I will fly from Japan right to the convention in San Diego.  I figured that after working in Japan I would just be a participant at the SDCC but it looks like that might change a bit.

My cartoon is a finalist in the Atom Fan Movie Challenge.  Friday of the ComicCon  is Star Wars day, and as such, Atom has invited me to spend a few hours in thier booth meeting fans and selling items.  I’ll get some more information about the booth location and the times I’ll be there and pass that on.

“Official Star Wars artist Spencer Brinkerhoff III not only made this awesome print of Han and Greedo in the Cantina for his limited-edition Celebration Japan print called “Sorry About the Mess,” but he went a step further to make this cool animation of his art in action!”

This is the print that I have done for the Star Wars Celebration Japan.  The convention is on July 19th-21st in Chiba Japan.

This print is limited to 250 and can only be purchased in Japan.  I sketched out the characters (Greedo, Wuher, and some creatures) and then redrew them and colored them in Flash.  I wanted to have an original piece for the art show so I made a shadow box.

Then, I figured that since I already had a the file in Flash, I would make an animation out of it.  I started working on the animation on Wednesday.

I’m having this printed on Postcards to take with me to Japan.

This one if for my brother.  We grew up watching the Transformers.  I used to record the show and then pause it on the character’s faces so I could draw them all.  My brother suggested that I draw my new car as a Transformer.  Since my kids have been enjoying the new Transformers Animated cartoon, my first attempt at the character is in the new style.  If I get a chance, I’d like to go back and re-draw him in a 1980’s style.  Check out the characters in the store.
