"Gumball is the greediest, stingiest, trickiest little bastard in the galaxy. His specialty is always getting the upper hand and rarely giving the correct change. From the simplest candy & gum transactions to the most complex drug deals, Gumball always comes out on top. Two things have given him life long after certain disintegration was due, his ability to make tons of money for whoever employs him and the thermal nuclear device hiding within his rusty innards. Gumball is the reason their kind is not served in the Mos Eisley Cantina….."
Mike Wood of Falcon Toys commissioned a watercolor illustration based on his design for a limited edition of his super popular Gumball. SideKickLab used the watercolour to create the front motif of the Gumball cardback.

Vintage Star Wars Project:
I'm a professional artist, gallery lecturer and avid Star Wars fan. I plan to depict in watercolour the entire vintage Kenner Star Wars action figures.
Back in the mid 1970's Kenner was a small toy company in Cincinnati, Ohio. Then Star Wars happened. Kenner produced a range of action figures from late 1977 until 1985.
A few years ago I had quite a large collection, but I had to downsize (due to space issues, financial issues and a very patient, but exasperated partner, who had come to the end of her tether re: my collecting).
A while back,I struck on the idea of depicting the toys in watercolour, so I could "collect" them without taking up too much space. I have started selling some on eBay, I can't claim that I am reaping a hefty reward for the financial return, but at my own indulgence, I would like to think that maybe they will be collected, cherished, shared, swapped and sold.
Each of the paintings have been date stamped on the day they were completed. The vast majority have been date stamped using black ink and a few have been date stamped using purple ink.
The project has slowly grown to include all my toys from childhood - of which I will feature on this blog in the very near future.
