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.

There is a new webdoc at the about the Star Wars:Clone Wars movie.  Check it out here on the newly designed StarWars.com.

First, Google is working with Seth MacFarlane the creator of the TV show the Family Guy will create an animated Web-based series. There will be 50 Webisodes, each two minutes in length.  Seth MacFarlane’s Cavalcade of Cartoon Comedy, will be distributed on Google-owned YouTube and be syndicated and distributed across the search giant’s content network to AdSense publisher sites.  More info here.

Second,  The Google Media Server is a gadget that allows users to send videos, music and photos from the Web to other media devices, such as television.   According to a Google blog post the beta version is available as a free download for users who have a PC that runs Google Desktop and a UPnP-enabled device, such as a PlayStation 3. The gadget provides access to Picasa Web Albums and favorite YouTube videos.

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.

The Klimatic Base 1 AirWater Machine is a self filling water cooler that extracts drinking water from the air.  Wonderful.  Info found at Red Ferret.

The Nintendo DS light up styluses are  available from Amazon.com for $16.99.

Over the years I’ve made a lot of different designs for T-shirts.  I’ve put a few of the designs together and made a few new ones to sell on this site.  Because the shop is just opened, let me know what other styles and designs you’d be interested. Also, let me know if things are broken!  :D  Here’s the first batch of designs.  Click on the SHOP button at the right, or here.

Here’s the trailer for the new Bond movie.

The Contest has begun, well sort-of.  I think.  I don’t completely understand the website yet.  They will award trophies in the categories of Action, Short Subject, Animation, Comedy, Fan Fiction, and the George Lucas Select Award.  So today, USERS can vote for the Final category of Audience Choice.  Voting ends at 11:59 pm PST on July 10th.

It would appear that Atom’s panel of judges makes a decision on the winners and then from July 1st-10th users can decide the audience choice award.  Atom sent me an email saying that they had seen my Star Wars cartoon and encouraged me to submit to the contest.  I went ahead and submitted the old one that they had seen, and then got right to work on a new one.  I really like the new one better, but it was rejected for fear of copyright infringement.

So you can watch the cartoon and see the other entries here.

**UPDATE!** This from The Force.net, “There seems to be some confusion on how to vote. I know that I was confused. Apparently Firefox 3 users will not see the “Thumbs Up icon” and may be hitting thumbs down. STOP! Don’t do that. Open the URL in Internet Explorer or Firefox 2 and you should see both a thumbs up and thumbs down icon. Register or log in and vote. Once your vote is registered it does not appear that you can vote more than once. ”

So I currently have 26 views and 100% THUMBS DOWN rating!  YESS!!!

**UPDATE!** Vote once a day every day here.
