Thing were going swimmingly with my next custom. I was in the process of printing out my stack ...

This last week I wrapped up the artwork for the back of my custom Gonk Droid. Took a photo, put it on the grid, and wrote up a little bio.
Here's the bio I wrote:
Needed to quickly recharge critical machinery at a moment's notice, this walking battery, affectionately known as a 'GONK' DROID, could be found happily sauntering around every base and hangar in the galaxy.
I really wanted to work in the term "ubiquitous" in there, but I decided it was just a tad too pretentious. I'll probably regret that decision forever.
Also last week, I posted a poll in the Droids & Ewoks Facebook group asking what I should go with on the nameplate. The overwhelming choice was "Power Droid." I guess you just can't mess with the classics.
So the back's done. The front's done. The coins are done. All the supplies are replenished. All that's left is to print these out and assemble them. I'd probably have them ready next week, except that I'm hosting a PSWCS meeting this weekend. So it'll probably be two weeks. Keep checking back here for the latest!

I'm pretty happy with my Gonk art at this point, so I've begun testing some layouts and bubble area colors. And also the intensity of the artwork colors. I've gone through a bunch of proofs, and I figured I'd share some with you.
First off we have a very early proof. ...

Geeki Tiki will be out in full force at San Diego Comic Con this year with their Millennium Falcon punch bowl! If you pre-order it, you also get a set of Star Wars swizzle sticks, but please remember...it's only while supplies last! They're also going to have a BB-8 Geeki Tiki mug, but I'd be more inclined to call it a BB-drank, as he never actually "ate" anything. Look for them at the Lucas Pavillion Booth 2913-M
Also, be sure to check out the awesome work by Tom Spina Designs when Beeline Creative asked them to create themed decor for their Geeki Tiki pop-up shop inside Sweet Hollywood. Rich Riley carved larger-than-life tiki props such as this Chewbacca totem & more. More pics here bit.ly/2XEjnoi
It's always great to see what these guys are up to, and I can't wait to see what they're going to bring to Star Wars Celebration next year.

So - it's been a few weeks since I've updated my Gonk progress. The reason for this is because I really haven't made much progress. And that's due to several factors:

Couldn't let this go by without posting about it:
The SW desk and chair set was custom-made for a client's studio. She initially reached out to us about customizing one of our Emperor Throne Chairs, and after a bit of brainstorming, we explored a number of Imperial and Darth Vader themed furniture concepts too. Working closely with Lucasfilm, we sketched a number of interesting chairs and furniture based on Darth Vader and the Death Star. Eventually, we hit on the idea of creating a set based on Vader’s iconic meditation chamber in Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back.
Bridging form and function, we captured the look of that chamber in a three sided desk, using custom laminated millwork to recreate the bold white interior and imposing black shell. Angled shapes reach up to the sky, as if waiting for the top half to descend as it did in the film. The end result is a functional desk with a work space that, while not being a direct replica of the set, feels plucked right off the screen! The faux leather, adjustable height stool was custom upholstered to mirror the look of the seat in the chamber on set. The finishing touch is a built-in adjustable desk lamp, crafted to look like crane which held Darth Vader’s classic helmet in the scene!

So this is something I've been wanting to put together for a long time. In my opinion, "Solo" is not a good movie. Why? Because it takes characters we know and love, and makes them worse. Like abysmally worse. And this troubles me. So I made some memes...
This is also the reason why "Solo" bombed at the theater, IMO. It had very little to do with "The Last Jedi."
