On Monday, June 15, I posted the following on Twitter: "In a waiting-room situation for an unspecified period. Sketchbook in lap. Requests welcome (but not expected)." Seemed like it might be a fun drawing exercise.
I was pleasantly surprised to get several requests. I'm posting the resulting drawings below the jump -- most of which I would never have thought to draw myself (especially the one of Robert Loggia as Chewbacca). Click on each drawing to get an ultra-high-rez version you can put on a t-shirt or print out and burn or whatever.
This was my pre-requests warm-up sketch. (Evidently David Levine is going to use it in his sci-fi fanzine Bento.)

Friggin' outstanding! Well done sir. I missed the original call out or I would have requested Cheney's bat wings. The rest of the world needs to see that!
