772 - "JK-RBN7 (#4D2)"


I am very pleased with how this piece turned out!  It combines two of my great interests, baseball and Star Wars (1977), with another interest I don't really much care for: collector cards.  But I am also interested in artwork and replicating the old-style comics of my childhood.  I remember many frustrating evenings back then at the kitchen table trying to achieve the line and form of the illustrations in the modest stack of comics I collected, and failing at every attempt.  Today, it's become a skill I can call upon at any time - something I should never take for granted, though.
