DuCLAW'S THE PASTRYARCHY MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE BROWN ALE
My wife and I were out and about recently, when we stopped a nice (but pricey) local country store not far from our house. And they had lots and lots of beer. But most of the beers were either IPAs, Double IPAs, or ...

Hi guys - just a quick progress update this week. I did more penciling...
I'm not sure yet if I'll be doing all of Jabba's skin folds with ink or in Photoshop at this point, but I'm leaning towards Photoshop. Seems like that'd be more in line with the Droids cartoon style. We shall see - hopefully with inks next week!

This arrived in a rotten, stinking bubble-mailer, so the lovely retro card was slightly dinged, and the bubble lightly crushed in one corner. Thanks, Wal-Mart! Oh, well, at least it arrived, instead of being cancelled for no apparent reason. And no, I will not let it go.
Blah, blah, blah, repro ...

I'm pleased to announce my next Droids Custom: Bib Fortuna! And it started out like this:
I toyed around with a few ideas. I wanted to make sure I included Jabba in this one, as it'll likely be the only time I do that. I wanted to do something a little more exciting than your standard, static throne portrait. My first idea was to have Oola in the foreground, maybe the outline of her legs with the chain going back to Jabba. Then I was trying to remember... how was Jabba holding her chain in that scene? So I went back and looked at the clip, and I found a blooper! In the side shot where Jabba is facing Oola, he has the chain in his right hand. But a second later, he's holding it in his left when he hits the trap door button.
In my mind I couldn't envision a good layout that'd feature Oola that wouldn't be gratuitous, so I kept brainstorming. I went with another scene with that sort of foreground/background play. I've done a couple pencilling sessions so far. Here's the result of the first:
And here's where I'm at right now:
I'm pretty happy so far! Jabba looks like he could be from the Droids cartoon. Now I gotta decide if I want to add more characters around the throne, or leave it clean. Still a long way to go on this one, but it's shaping up nicely!

As I revealed in my previous article, I was gifted a couple Star Wars beers at a recent collector event. This is the second:
Mason Ale Works' "You're My Only Hope" is also not another IPA. This one is an imperial pastry stout with chocolate ...

It's been over three years since I discovered the Golden Grail one fateful morning on eBay. It stands as my greatest collecting story to this day.
Recently someone posted a video on YouTube highlighting the find. I don't want to draw attention to the ...

Well, these are finally shipping, provided your orders weren't whimsically cancelled. I ordered two, and they arrived . . . with Wal-Mart's usual flare for packing collectible items, of course, so there are dings and creases all over the place on both figures' cards, yet they somehow look better in ...

Over Labor Day weekend I had the occasion to welcome some collectors over to my house to view my collection (and drink way, WAY less beer than I anticipated). I had spent the previous month off-and-on cleaning and rearranging things so the collection room would be tip-top for the guests. ...

Contrary to its name, Situation Normal (Streetside Brewery, Cincinnati) is anything but a normal beer.
Over Labor Day weekend I attended (and helped organize) a gathering of Star Wars collectors. Fun times! Lots and lots and LOTS of drinking. The first night I really got into ...
