Markoart - The Digital Fists Of Mark Markovich

This is from Reno 911, in case anyone was curious.

if i ever get a DUI, i’d like it to go like this 

Obi looks like Kenneth Branagh here. I remember the rumor swirling that Branagh was in consideration for the part early on. I’m curious if this was on Nowlan’s mind when he created the piece. 

Star Wars Galaxy IV - Obi-Wan Kenobi & Baby Leia by Kevin Nowlan. 

From the owner:

This Kevin Nowlan painting was originally commissioned by Topps for their Star Wars Galaxy trading card series back in the mid 1990’s. It was most likely intended for the Star Wars Galaxy III series (1995). After more than a decade later in 2009, Topps brought SW Galaxy back with series IV and this art was published as a trading card in the “Lost Galaxy” subset featuring artworks that were previously rejected by Lucasfilm for various reasons.

Here’s Nowlan’s quote from his website post dated July 31, 2009 about this art: “The card was published recently, years after it was rejected for content. I picked it from a list of subjects supplied by Topps and (I would assume) approved by Lucasfilm. But after I did the painting, they rejected it because Lucas was about to start the new movies and didn’t want anyone dealing with material that he was going to cover in the prequels. Glad they finally changed their minds.”

Heck yes! First Bond movie I ever saw. Everyone else was making out and I’m in the front row pointing at the screen saying “you seeing this shit!?” Other than the music this movie is flawless. Too bad Martin Campbell can’t direct all the Bonds. 

Pierce Brosnan was never my favorite Bond, but Goldeneye holds up like a champ.  007 driving a tank through the streets of St. Petersburg while wearing a suit is one of the most James Bond things ever captured on film.
