"Cable
Original" Star Wars Drawing #75 |
|
Bill Cable drew his first commissioned Star Wars
"Portrait Series" drawing in the fall of 1997. He sold his
art mostly to local collectors who saw them at OSWCC (http://www.oswcc.com)
meetings, and to people who stumbled upon them at SWDrawings.com
(now defunct). It wasn't until CreatureCantina.com (http://www.creaturecantina.com)
opened that his art began to reach a wider audience and really take
off. This week CreatureCantina.com celebrates Bill's 75th
"Cable Original" drawing...
over
6 years in the making, and worth the wait!!]
Congratulations Bill
and keep up the excellent work! Here is contact information for
Bill.

ArtoosNews.com Closes |
|
One of my favorite Star Wars sites is
closing down today. Most of what their site had to offer has already
been taken down at this point. Here is what they had to say:
"I
am writing this news post to bring the entire community some sad
news. ArtoosNews will be closing at midnight Tuesday February 24,
2004."
"It has been a great five years at this community, but,
due to a few circumstances beyond out control we will no longer be
able to operate. As many of you know, Artoo decided to leave the
site about a month ago. He offered the site to me, but since then,
we have not been able to transfer ownership of the site. We had
plans to bring the entire site and it's contents to a new domain
name with the same staff, same community and same features, but
the situation behind the scenes has worn on myself, Tony and Mike
to the point where we do not have the energy to continue on."
We will all miss this
great site and can only wish all the best to the talented people
running it. Good luck in the future and I hope we will see them
around again sometime.
