Hey, everyone -- I have a pile of old drawings and old sketchbooks and comics that need homes.  I wanna get rid of this stuff.  So I have a $45 offer over at my site. Please click the link and read all about it: [link]

Thanks!

So is everyone excited for "Game of Thrones" (starting April 17th on HBO)???


I have to do my part to spread the word on this show, because everything I've seen so far (preview clips, etc.) looks amazing, and I am completely addicted to the books right now, and if this show doesn't get huge ratings and a 2nd (and 3rd) season, I'm going to be frickin' crushed.

I recently finished book 3 ("Storm of Swords") and it was possibly the single greatest fantasy book I've ever read in my life.  Now I'm about a hundred pages into book 4 ("Feast for Crows")... It's just such a great, surprising, epic, awesome series.

Here's a trailer, in case you haven't seen one yet: [link]

Help spread the word!! It's about time we had a QUALITY, *adult*, well-done, and well-written fantasy genre show on TV.

*direwolf howl*

A big big THANK YOU to everyone who came out to C2E2. It was such a great show -- I had a lot of fun and it was a fantastic way to kick off the convention season.

Next up for me is SpringCon, which is in Minnesota, May 21-22.

Between now and then I'll be pretty busy with various Lucasfilm jobs, catching up on commissions, and *hopefully* something NEW & EXCITING for San Diego Comic-Con.  Lots more to come.

And, as always, thank you for all the nice comments and faves here on DA.  You guys and girls all rock!!  Talk to you soon --

~~~2011 CONVENTIONS~~~
I might still add one or two conventions to my list this year, but so far it's looking like I'll be at:
C2E2 in Chicago (March 18-20)
Minnesota SpringCon (May 21-22)
San Diego Comic-Con (July 20-24)
Star Wars Fan Days in Texas (October 8-9)

So if you're planning on being at any of those shows, be sure to say hey!  

Talk to you all soon -- Stay warm!

Good news for those of you who couldn't make it to Celebration V (or maybe you did make it, but forget to pick up one of my snazzy limited edition Ahsoka prints)!  For a very limited time, Star Wars Shop is offering the remainder of my prints - each one is numbered and signed by me.  If you want one, go grab it NOW -- they won't be available for long.  Here's the link: [link]

Thanks to everyone who came out to Celebration V!!  It was a fun show - I had a blast.  
I wrote up a quick recap with some photos -- click the link to check it out: [link]

As some of you saw in my gallery, I created the badge art for the upcoming Star Wars Celebration V convention in Orlando, FL.  I'm selling some of the originals, so if you're interested, here's the link: [link]

I can finally talk about the "top secret Star Wars project" that I worked on all of last month.  I'm proud to announce that I illustrated all of the badges for Star Wars Celebration V!


19 different badges - 19 different Star Wars characters!

JAKe did the badges for Celebration IV ( [link] ), and those were just amazing - everyone loved 'em.  So it's a huge honor for me to be filling those shoes this time around.  It's really cool and flattering to think that all 40,000 or however-many people at that show are going to be wearing my art around their neck.


Images and more info will be available soon at StarWars.com!

I posted some info about HeroesCon over at my site.  Click the link and read all about it: [link]

I look forward to seeing everyone there!  Should be a fun show.  

May 15th and 16th marks the very first Minnesota SpringCon convention!  I posted some info on what I'll have for sale, etc.  Click the link or copy & paste: grantgould.blogspot.com/2010/05/springcon-saturday-sunday.html
