And check out Bantha Tracks this month, there’s an awesome photo of my wife Ruth and Robert Watts. Very cool (mental photo!)
The cover art for insider is quality. Very subtle but effective. I’m design geeking out!
That Lego special was pure charm! One of the best SW things I’ve seen in years.
Bardan: the Insider cover is one of the variants – i think the newsstand version has the same image, but with typical magazine text all over the front.
Stooge: no kidding!
James: I work for an education and training group, so not much chance of me designing something including Han Solo but I’m willing to give it a shot!
