You're a bastard Bill, plain and simple.

But I like your dignitary drawing. :)  He looks like he's egomaniacal as well.  It's pretty cool.

I'm hoping for another rendition of Bossk some time.  Can't get enough Trandoshans.

I dig Bill's art.  I have a couple collecting T-shirts that he designed a couple years ago as well.  I think Scott's got an ICMG drawing from him too.  Good stuff.

So go ahead and show it off all ya' want!  Can't suck any worse that CC.com, right?   :P

I'm not feelin' the love over at Wuher's anymore, so I figured I'd share it here, too.  Plus, I'm the king of shamelss self-promotion.

It's bubble wrap!  The "real" gift was a gem mint Vintage Imperial Dignitary.  I didn't want it floating around loose in the bubble where there was the potential for nose rub damage (extremely common on that figure).  So I wrapped him up so he'd be stationary in the bubble.

ZING!

Nice Art, Bill.  Not as great as some of your others, but better than I can do for sure.

CC.com still sucks though...

 :P

I wish there was a bigger scan of the drawing besides that thumbnail, I'd like to see it w/o the card in front of it. Just because.

This is a very fine piece of art, and there is no doubt Bill is a great artist (he's also a super nice seller, but that is another story).

for some strange reason The Imperial Dignitary has always been one of my favorite vintage figures. I saw it in the cataloug back in 1985, but never found it in the local toy store. You can say it was one of the figures i allways wanted ut never got as a youngster back then.

I took a picture with my phone-cam (I love that thing) at the local Toy Show back at the beginning of December.  This was JUST a Toy Show, I mean nothing else going on...

Freakin' Eddie Munster was there, signing stuff.  I don't know why.  He was the only guy trying to pawn off autographs, and he looked about as bored and inactive as that photo Carp posted.

was he stuffing his smuggy maw with pizza?

I don't recall.  I did notice him going to the toilet and I wanted to go in and leave a smelly steamer for him though just to gross him out.

Something struck me funny about knowing I'd have stunk Eddie Munster out of a bathroom, ya know?  Maybe I'm just easily entertained.

If you click on the "Cable Gallery" link at the bottom of the story, you can see a full scan.  I just like to force people to read my intros on CC.com, to give the art context.  Plus I spend all that time writing that crap... gotta make sure somebody reads it.   :P
