what is it with my luck?


So here I am, the third time in a month back in L.A. and they have a Star Wars convention going on right down the street. Super Jedi-geek that I am, I found myself shelling out green for green. Meaning I bought two autographs, one of Greedo, one of Kit Fisto- both green characters. Both of the guys who play those characters were pretty cool. I was amazed at how many people they had there to sign autographs. Even had they guy that said "These aren't the droids you're looking for."
Also ran into a guy I knew from Atlanta waaaaaay back. A guy that sells fan merch. Got a t-shirt of him that says "Frack me". If you get this reference, you get a special no-prize. One of the first autographs I ever got was of Richard Hatch. It was at a car show and I asked him what frak and felgercarb meant. He said something like, "I'll have to tell you after the show." I knew he was kidding, but I was kinda hoping...


Next time, I'll publish a report on the Design Festa show with pics! But you'll have to wait til I get back to Japan since I forgot to bring my damn camera! I will upload one of the postcards which I was selling though.

Top 10 Sci-fi Westerns Part 1

Of the genre combinations, this is not one that readily comes to mind (such as the ever popular Slasher/Romantic Comedy crossover). My favorite crossover might be Horror/Comedy with SF/Horror a close second, but some really great SF just happens to have Western themes. Check out my top ten. It was originally five, but then I remembered 5 more:   10. Westworld (movie) - About a theme park that uses A.I. androids to show guests "a good time" in different worlds created to simulate space travel, ancient Rome, the Age of Chivalry, and the wild west. Unfortunately, a good time means being massacred by androids. Some great moments in this flick and Yul Brynner is the baddest android gunslinger badass ever, but takes too long to get going. This could use a remake, but avoid the sequel like the Black Death if you know what's good for ya'. Look for the late Majel Barrett Roddenberry Roddenberry in one of her few non-Trek roles. 9.

Guys (including myself) are seriously ugly when we cry. Nothing keeps me more humble than remembering how butt-ugly my cry-face is.  For contrast, I drew a Heian-kyo inspired lady of the court.

Happy Birthday, Roy Batty!

Today is the day that Nexus 6 combat model Roy Batty comes to "life".  Come to think of it, he was a bit batty, but he was all Roy! Below is a print I created for a Movie art exhibition a few years ago. And here is an old post about when I actually got to meet the man himself!
