It’s October! Which means 2020 is just around the corner and you’re going to need a new calendar:

It’s also time to start thinking about Halloween costumes, and Lennie and I have got you covered:

Finally, if you’ve ever wanted an official Lupita Nyong’o coloring book, these are being given away at select screenings of Little Monsters. This was a fun project because I got to draw Josh Gad vomiting blood.

First new painting of the year! This one celebrates Jim Henson, Frank Oz, and their most fantastical creation (Tom Hardy). This also might be the last update on this version of the site (you may have noticed I’ve been putting most of my new stuff on the store rather than this, the main page)—working on something new that will bring BrandonBird.com into the year 2019 with scalability, mobile optimization, etc. etc. blah blah blah.

Back in 2015 I painted Shia LaBeouf as every Doctor Who, and for some reason it became the most popular thing I’ve ever done. With a new Doctor on the horizon it’s time to meet the 13th Shia LaBeouf.

I have begun a mighty quest to paint every Ewok, and you can view and/or buy the portraits in my store.

The Cool Patrol is here, along with a bunch of other new Spring items in my store.

Heading up to Seattle once again for Emerald City! Find me on the sky bridge, booth 1102, with other artists from the TopatoCo-affiliated artists! If you don’t live in Seattle or like Seattle, I’ll also be coming to San Diego Comic-Con and Thought Bubble UK later this year! (Also on tap for this year amongst many other projects: rebuilding this website and turning into a modern internet masterpiece.)

The 2017 T-mas card design is, much like its subject, a unique and beautiful creation. These are printed on blue paper using metallic silver ink, and come with metallic silver envelopes. Order a set in my store and they should ship out beginning December 4th.

This year marks the 40th anniversary of the original Star Wars movie. But did you know it is also the 21st anniversary of the Lucasfilm multimedia event Shadows of the Empire? Designed to include everything but a movie, the unforgettable story was told across trading cards, action figures, a soundtrack, even one of the first Nintendo64 games. But what if…? What if they actually had made a movie back in 1996? Who would have brought to life the now-classic Star Wars characters Dash Rendar, Prince Xizor, and Guri the life model android? The film may never be real, but now you can buy the poster.

Remember that time last year when I went to Kickstarter to get money to fund a Jerry Orbach art car? The dream is real.

Comic-Con is here! I’ve added some new prints to my store in honor of comics and the storytelling arts, and you can save 17% on all prints using coupon code SDCC2017 (expires monday the 24th). If you can make it to the show itself, I’ll be at booth 1229 with Topatoco. I’ll also be part of a panel on Friday with some other cool artists.
