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.

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.   

bill, neat concept with the cut out POTF card on the picture frame. but whats all that stuff on the figure bubble?

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.

It's all for show.   

This week on http://CreatureCantina.com I posted my latest "Cable Original" artwork piece.  Enjoy:

awww look Durge's trying to be funny, isn't that cute.

well since LJ brought up a WWE diva in her set of female hotties, may I present my fave top 5 WWE divas (current WWE divas only though)

Not into the fake and manly-looking wrestler chicks, but  Stacy Keibler & Maria look pretty good!

So now that the film's out, anyone care to post a review?  And... I don't know... maybe some details of what we do see of Portman?   

Thanks for the kind wishes everyone.  I don't know how much wisdom passing 30 has brought, but it has certainly brought a measure of restraint.  Back in college I drew one of the most controversial daily comic strips in our daily newspaper.  Letters to the Editor.  Death threats over the phone.  Nasty E-mails.  Lesbians calling up saying they didn't want to have sex with me.  Even when http://CreatureCantina.com, which sucks, first started out, I was quite a bit edgier in what I'd allow to go in.  Now I've mellowed a bit, I think.  Maybe that's a product of getting older.  Or maybe I'm just tired of catching all the flack.  Who knows?

If anybody wants to do anything for my birthday, you could donate a Star Wars figure to the PSWCS/Garrison Carida Toy Drive.  There's still about 2 weeks left, and Carida could use more donations.   

I won't be making it to the Toy Show next Saturday.  But I'll certainly see all you West PA guys at C3 if I don't have the chance before then.
