Hi Joe,
I've notice lately that there's a lot of your artwork that's not on your website anymore, particularly some of the Wraith Squadron pilots you did for Gamer. Were they removed for a particular reason?

It was good seeing you again at COSI, as brief as the hellos were  We were kept pretty busy as I'm sure you can relate to.
We did manage to stop and have a small chat with Justin on Sunday but you were off somewhere.
Due to Kim's organizing work for the event, COSI did present her with one of the VIP pieces of artwork so we were quite happy about that. It will look nice all framed and in the collection. 
It was good seeing you and Kim again at the event last month. The premiere at COSI was incredibly busy for me so I apologize that we didn't get to chat too much that weeklend. But that's great you were able to pick up one of the R2-D2 VIP prints from the museum. Thanks for letting me know!

Hi PEZ,
The main reason most of my most of my older artwork eventually gets removed from my galleries is to make room on my server for the newer, more up to date work. The primary function of my website is to act as my online portfolio to help me receive more work from publishers and for portfolios I'm of the credo that less is more (thought you couldn't tell with the amount of art images I still have on my site). Still, when I'm trying to show editors, art directors and publishers my artwork on my website I prefer they only see my best work and not happen upon work that's older and not as refined, especially if it doesn't measure up to other pieces in the same gallery. This way, they won't get turned off or get confused as to the current styles I'm working in and my abilities.
The other reason is that I've done so much Star Wars work over the years, starting ten years ago providing hundreds of illustrations alone for West End Games, that if I kept it all online the server bill would freak out Justin (my webmaster).
So if you see anything on my site that you like it's best to grab the images right away before it gets recycled, especially because I have new Star Wars artwork coming out soon

Hey everyone,
I posted a behind the scenes look at the creation of my Star Wars: Where Science Meets Imagination limited edition print artwork (featuring R2-D2) in my weekly Comics 101 column at World Famous Comics.com right here -
http://www.worldfamouscomics.com/comics101/back20060622.shtml
I recently finished new Star Wars artwork for Ryan Kaufman and Abel Pena's "Underworld" feature coming up in Star Wars Insider #89. This project gave me the opportunity to draw some of my favorite kinds of characters - bounty hunters, smugglers, mercanaries, crime lords and other assorted scum and villainy. I was able to not only illustrate a few of my very favorite characters but I was also fortunate enough to help create and work with brand new characters for the Expanded Universe. There are a few EU surprises and cameos to look out for in the artwork too so keep your eyes peeled.
Ryan and Abel came up with a very enjoyable and informative article so be sure to pick up this issue when it ships later this summer. I'll be posting some behind the scenes commentary for each illustration I provided for the "Underworld" feature in my star wars.com blog soon also.
This July 15th I'll be appearing with my artwork for the OSWCC Summer Social and from July 19th to July 23rd I'll be appearing as a guest in Artist Alley for Comic-Con International in San Diego, California. I'll be there with Star Wars sketch card artist and Kai Justiss model Justin Chung. We'll have lots of Star Wars art on hand to view and for sale so if you're going to the convention be sure to find us in Artist Alley at table FF-01.
In other news, I've recently joined MySpace -
http://www.myspace.com/drawingintheempire
Be sure to stop on by, say "hi" and feel free to add me to your friend's list if you're already part of the community.
Thanks and I look forward to seeing some of you soon this summer!

Sorry, but this sort of thing doesn't belong on a public forum. Take it to Private Messages, or try something else.

In twenty four hours I'll be on my way to Comic-Con International in San Diego, California and I hope to see some of you there! You can find me at table FF-01 in Artist Alley along with Dan Parsons (inker on SW: Republic and SW: Legacy for Dark Horse Comics) at table FF-02 so be sure to stop by and say hi. Star Wars sketch card artist, Justin Chung, will be sitting in with me too. I'll also be premiering my new convention sketchbook at this show as well so come on by and see what Star Wars art we have in store. And be on the lookout for my SW pals Abel Peña, Dan Wallace, John Jackson Miller, Chris Trevas and Doug "Quinlan Vos" Wangler, all of whom will be in attendance at the show.
For more info check out my latest sw.com blog entry, San Diego Comic-Con, Zombie Prom Update, ArtZine, and New SW and XBox Art, and to find out what Lucasfilm has planned for the event check out this sw.com update, The Insider's Guide to Comic-Con International 2006.
Speaking of "twenty four" I wanted to let all of the Jack Bauer fans out there know that I'll be providing the cover art for IDW Publishing's new 24: Nightfall six issue series. This will be a prequel storyline to the hit Fox TV show and will debut in comic book shops later this year. The first issue will also feature just my pencil art as a variant, incentive cover for retailers. Keep your eyes peeled on my official site and on my myspace.com page for more news and for a sneak peek at this new artwork soon!
And remember, Zombie Prom (a short film with artwork provided by Justin, Jan Duursema and yours truly will be playing Thursday, July 20th at 7:30 PM at Comic-Con as part of the Comic-Con International Independent Film Festival. It's a musical with zombies... and RuPaul. How could you afford to miss that?
And probably like Jack or an undead, I won't be getting any sleep between now and Wednesday.
I'll see you soon, travel safe!
~J

I'm providing covers for all six issues for IDW Publishing's new series - 24: Nightfall and right now you can get a sneak preview of my cover art for issue #1 at my MySpace.com page here. Head on over and check it out.
Spike vs. Dracula # 4 (also from IDW) and Star Wars Insider #89, both of which feature my artwork, are shipping now so keep your eyes peeled for copies in stores or in your mailbox. And stay tuned to my official website and Star Wars.com blog for more about my artwork for "Underworld" in Insider #89 soon.
Also, this week from August 3rd - 6th I'll be appearing in Artist Alley (table 3206 A) for Wizard World Chicago with sketch card artist and World Famous Comics.com creator Justin Chung. I'll be available for sketches and will have plenty of Star Wars art on hand for sale along with copies of my new Joe Corroney.com Sketchbook Volume II (in very limited supply).
John Jackson Miller, writer for Knights of the Old Republic series, will be signing at the Dark Horse Comics booth and you might catch him at my table sporadically as well.
Other Star Wars guests at the show include Ray Park (Darth Maul), Matthew Wood (General Grievous), Daniel Logan (Boba Fett) and my pal Doug Wangler (Quinlan Vos).
I hope everyone enjoys the new artwork and I look forward to seeing some of you at Wizard World soon!

LFL hasn't approached me to illustrate the character for any projects yet but maybe the right planets will align in the near future and I'll be able to draw him for something eventually.

Thanks, Barriss! I had a tighter deadline than normal from Insider for these illustrations but luckily I didn't have too much else going on project-wise so I was able to focus on them and give them my best. Sometimes I think I work best under pressure
I'm really glad you enjoyed them!
"The Art of Underworld", presenting a behind the scenes look at my artwork for Star Wars Insider #89's "Underworld: A Galaxy of Scum and Villainy" feature by Star Wars authors Ryan Kaufman and Abel Peña, is now online at Star Wars.com. You need to be a Hyperspace member to access it as part of the online supplement for Insider #89.
You can read about my design process and inspiration and even have a look at some of my original photo reference, rough sketches and pencil art for these illustrations.
In other news, I recently finished new artwork for Topps upcoming The Lord of the Rings Masterpieces trading card set. Head over to my Myspace page to check out six full color character cards of Aragorn, Arwen, Frodo, Gandalf, Galadriel and Legolas that will be available on eBay when the set is released this October/November.
I'm also producing covers for IDW Publishing's new 24: Nightfall series which features a prequel storyline to the hit Fox TV show. You can view the full color covers for the first two issues at my Myspace also.
I've got new Star Wars projects in the works right now, and if they happen to pan out soon it should be some fun stuff for everyone.
Thanks and I hope everyone enjoys the new artwork!
