Orders for Triple Shots are on sale NOW!

Character

Just reminding you that another set of four Triple Shots go on sale today!

Time to share another Triple Shot! This one is everyone’s other favorite space smuggler… Malcolm Reynolds from Firefly. See how cool these are? Don’t you want one?

I’m a huge fan of Nathan Fillion. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Flanvention in ’05, and he’s amazing. I have never ever seen anyone work a room the way he does. I even got to have dinner with him and some other guests, and he took the time to talk to everyone and keep each person engaged. He is the gold standard in how to treat your fans.

Plus, I mean Castle, right? How cool is that?

I visited Rancho Obi-Wan, the largest private collection of Star Wars merchandise (though I don’t know who else would have more). It was fantastic. There was so much stuff… stuff I had as a kid, stuff I wanted, stuff I never saw and beyond. I got to play the Star Wars vector arcade game from the Eighties. I played chess against R2D2, who cheats. And best of all, I got to me Steve Sansweet, who is just the nicest guy.

After my trip, I drew a thank you piece for Steve. His favorite character is Obi-Wan, and mine is Boba Fett. So I drew our two characters facing off against each other. And in my thank you note I admitted to Steve that, yes, I know that Boba Fett would lose. Heck, it’d be a victory if he walked away with both his arms. But it was still cool as can be to draw it.

And please, check out Rancho Obi-Wan’s Facebook page. If you want to see more, check out Amy’s report on the fully-functional memorabilia base. Go there if you’re in Northern California. Totally worth it.

Speaking of the Triple Shots, I will be showing them off here at the site. First up is Han Solo.

I’m pretty happy with how the likeness came out,since doing a caricature in my cartoony style is sometimes difficult. And it was fun to look up the reference and make sure that the belt and the gun were right. And yes, I am using my iPad… well, my completely deductible iPad… to pull up reference at my drawing table. It’s so nice not have to print out reference sheets any more.

And yes, he totally shot first.
