I was finally given approval to show off the artwork for my Topps Star Wars Galaxy 6 base card. This is the first time I've been asked to create artwork that will be on an official, printed Topps trading card that will be printed and inserted into multiple packs of cards. I was honored to be asked and hope that Star Wars fans enjoy the piece that I've created for the set:
I created this piece in December of 2010. The original line art measures 11 x 14 inches and was drawn on Bristol art board in pencil. The final artwork was colored in Photoshop CS4 using a Wacom Cintiq 21UX. I will be selling the original artwork and a signed final card at some point in the future. Stay tuned . . .
I was also one of 22 artists to be asked to draw "sketchagraph" cards, which are new inserts for the Galaxy 6 set (1 in every 135 packs) featuring an authentic signature from a Star Wars actor along with an original sketch by the artist.
The cards were signed by Mark Hamill (Luke Skywalker), Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia), Ray Park (Darth Maul), Jake Lloyd (Episode 1 Anakin Skywalker), Orli Shoshan (Shaak Ti), Amy Allen (Aayla Secura), Jon Berg (FX artist, cantina creature actor), John Morton (Dack Ralter) and Mike Quinn (Puppeteer: Sy Snootles, Nien Nunb & more).
Here are my sketchagraph cards:
I hope you like my Topps Star Wars Galaxy 6 cards. Thanks for looking!

I am announcing that on February 26th, 2011 at 3:00PM CST I am once again opening up personal sketch card commissions. I have exactly 30 slots to fill. Here's the small print:
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY! FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE DIRECTIONS MAY RESULT IN LOSING A PLACE ON THE LIST!
-I offer 3 different sizes/formats:
Here are samples from the last sale (Big Tall on top, Standard in the middle and Big Fat on the bottom):
-The cost per Fat/Tall card is $30 (plus $2 for shipping in the Unites States and $5 for International shipping). The cost per standard sized card card is $20 (plus $2 for shipping in the Unites States and $5 for International shipping).
-These cards will be cut from bristol board. They are not pre-printed. There will be nothing printed on the backs.
-Each card will be placed inside a plastic top loader card holder and shipped in a cardboard mailer.
-The drawings will be full-color (or gray tones for appropriate subjects, such as scenes from black and white films or TV shows).
-You can have up to 2 characters on each Big Fat card, 1 character for a Big Tall card and 1 character for a standard sized card. Big Fat cards will features scenes with backgrounds and Big Tall cards will feature portrait style drawings with an abstract background. I will not be accepting any requests for multi-card images. Please specify, for each card you buy, whether you want it to be Big Fat or Big Tall. One scene/subject per card, please.
-There are 30 slots available and you may request more than 1 card.
-I will be drawing these cards live on my Ustream webcast, in the order that I receive orders. I will schedule 2 days a week for sketch card work, I will draw up to 4 cards per show and will let people know which cards I will be working on in advance on my website (the weekly schedule can be found HERE) so they can watch. I will also try to record every show, in case someone misses their card being drawn. I will be drawing 6 to 8 cards per week, so you must be patient in waiting for your card. I thank you in advance for this.
-I will begin drawing cards for this sale on March 1st, 2011.
-I only accept PayPal for payment and payment is required at the time of ordering.
-When ordering and paying, YOU MUST USE THIS E-MAIL ADDRESS: otis@otisframpton.com
-Do NOT send the requests via private message on message boards, deviantART or any other public forum. E-MAIL ONLY.
-Use the subject header "Otis Frampton's Fat/Tall/Small Sketch Card Sale 9" in the order request e-mail and the PayPal payment.
-DO NOT PAY until I have notified you that you are on the list. If anyone pays before I confirm they will get a card, I will refund the money and they will not be on the list.
-Please include the following information in the order request e-mail and the PayPal payment: what character(s) you want me to draw, what name you want me to use for the Ustream schedule and your shipping address.
-My sketch card work is best when I have some story elements to work with, as opposed to standard pin-up style shots. In other words, if you want me to do my best work on your commissions, give me a "story moment" to work with as opposed to just the name of a character.
-And once again . . . the sale will go live on February 26th, 2011 at 3:00PM CST. Any orders sent to me before that time will be ignored/deleted. I am posting this now so that people have some time to consider taking part in the offer and do not feel like they missed their chance to order a card.
Thanks in advance and I hope to see the winners in the Ustream chat room!
