These are many of my recent Sketch Cards officially included as random inserts in Topps’s Star Wars Galaxy trading card sets. The set of Ewok’s, Chewy’s, and Wampa’s (the “furry munchkin crew”) are part of the new 2010 Galaxy 5 set. I did 56 “furry munchkins” for Galaxy 5. Many improvements were made to be drawings and the drawing process from my Galaxy 4 set for two reasons- 1) I didn’t have as many cards to work with on Galaxy 5 so I put more time into each one, and 2) I learned from my own mistakes and by watching what other artists have been doing with their own sketch cards series.
