Now that my images have been approved, I can let the cat out of the bag: I am doing cards for TOPPS STAR WARS "GALACTIC FILES" set!!!!!!!! Above are a few images of the work I did for the set.
This is something I have been shooting at for a few years now and its a tremendous feather in my cap with a hell of a lot of personal meaning for me. If I could go back and tell young Adam who grew up watching and loving Star Wars that one day he'd work on it in a small but "official" capacity, he'd shit his pants. As I did the day I was told I was on the set! (No joke. Maybe. I ain't telling.) I did 200 cards for the set and yes, I will have return cards. I think I get about 8 and I do plan to sell them! Although its a bit premature to talk about that yet. But if you have early interest, by all means we can talk. But I will likely not talk cash until its gets closer to release date. Expect updates.
A TREMENDOUS thanks to TOPPS and those involved for allowing me on the set and the chance to play in that amazing universe. I hope I have more opportunities to do so in the future. I want to also thank all the other Star Wars artists and close friends whom I've chatted with about this and they gave me great advice as to take this project and run with it and make the best out of it. I hope I did right by you. As I hope I did right by the legion of Star Wars fans out there! Its a huge microscope to be under, thats for sure, and I hope to have gained some new attention and passionate users of my work as a result. That is what its all about! Lastly, a major thanks to Jay for helping me make all of this happen. I couldn't have done it without you sir.
SO: Much excitement to come!!! This is only the beginning. I am not sure what is coming but I am excited to see the results. But now I can call myself "Star Wars Sketch Card Artist: Adam Talley!" And that means so much to me. thanks for allowing me the chance and thanks for giving me a great life.
Cheers and "May the Force Be With You!"
