Tomorrow is Free Comic Book Day and Star Wars Day. As such, I will be celebrating the former, as I always do, at Ryan’s Comics in Murrieta, California. For the latter, the Star Wars party, we’ll be kicking that off at the same location, starting at 8PM, about an hour after the store closes for business for that day. For the event, Ryan has asked a number of local artists, my wife and I included, to create some pieces of Star Wars art for viewing, and for sale. Being the generous guy that he is, Ryan has asked that we price our pieces no higher than $99 per image, which, if you’ve ever looked into purchasing original work either from a show, or from a “local artist,” you will know is actually pretty reasonable, and the work, as you can see, is pretty sound. Our larger paintings, like the ones of the two Sith lords, the C3P0 & R2-D2 piece, the Admiral Ackbar painting and the framed, matted pencil drawing of Boba Fett are all priced at $99, and I have included to matted, framed original pencil drawings, one of Obi Wan Kenobi and one of Admiral Ackbar for $49. Both my wife and I will be there pretty much all day tomorrow, and will be around for the duration of the Star Wars party to chat it up, have a good time, and answer questions about our work. Admission is free and there will be refreshments, and a Star Wars costume competition with cash prizes, so dust off that old lightsaber, get your Darth Vader asthma mask inhaler ready to go and stop on by! If you need directions, or more specifics on the event, just click on the Ryan’s Comics link here, or above. Hope to see you there!

“The Droids You’re Looking For,” acrylic on canvas, 10” X 24”. This painting will be available to view in person, and potentially purchase, if you are interested, on the evening of Saturday, May 4th at Ryan’s Comics in Murrieta, California. May 4th, as many will know already, is International Star Wars Day (May the Fourth Be With You). Incidentally, this year, May 4th falls on the first Saturday of the month, which is also Free Comic Book Day. Ryan always cranks it to 11 on Free Comic Book Day with costumes, raffles, prizes, snacks, guest artists and of course, free comic books. This year, the shop will be hosting a Star Wars party from 8-11:30PM, once all of the FCBD festivities have tapered off. There will be an art gallery, which the above piece will be a part of, as well as other Star Wars artworks created by local artists. My wife will also be submitting work, and all of the pieces—to my knowledge—will be for sale with a price ceiling of $99. So, lots of great stuff and very affordable, so if you’re in the area, please stop by and get your schmooze on. And if you can make it earlier for Free Comic Book Day, even better. Either way, you will not be disappointed!
