alpha flight!


Hello from the Mountains! I have to do some kid-friendly storyboards for a short animation today, so I took Major Maple Leaf and uh, that blue chick in that direction.

Also, here's yesterdays sketch, I was too much of a mess to post it but I drew it on the plane. This scene from Empire Strikes Back (the only Star Wars movie that has aged well IMO) is significant in my life in that Han Solo was definitely my teenage definition of how to act cool around women (for better or worse).

R.I.P., Irvin Kershner






As you've probably heard, the man who directed what is far and away the best Star Wars film, The Empire Strikes Back, has passed away. I decided to memorialize this occasion with a  quickie sketch of some of the characters first introduced in Empire pouring out a libation for their fallen comrade. Rest in Peace, Irvin.

Irvin Kershner

As you all no doubt know, "Empire Strikes BAck" director
Irvin Kershner Passed away. I know he directed many other
films besides "Empire," but that movie stands out for
people of a certain age for so many reasons.

I realized as I drew this that I've
NEVER drawn a Star Wars character.
Darth is hard to master!
