A&A The Official Joe Corroney Discussion Thread

Keep your eyes peeled on Star Wars.com soon for a sneak peek at my Celebration IV limited editon artwork I created exclusively for this event. Also, I'll be attending Celebration Europe this July also so I'm looking forward to meeting all of the UK Star Wars fans too

 

You're attending Celebration Europe? That's fab! I might catch you there, if my tickets ever arrive!

 

Yep, I'll be attending Celebration Europe too and I look forward to meeting you there Though I'm not sure yet if I'll be offering the same limited edition artwork at both shows or if I'll be creating new Star Wars artwork for CE. I've got a variety of concepts in the approval process currently and have some options I'm working out.

 

Hi Joe,

That's a really nice print for C4 (some great work from Justin and Chris too) All of the artists are turning in some good stuff. You know Kim and I will be down for one of your prints so make sure to save us one

See you at C4!

Oh, and you might want to say 'hi' in this C4 art thread. Several of the other artists have. They're just getting to know some of the fans and getting the word out about their work.

 

Hi Everyone,

I hope everyone is getting geared up for CIV soon. It's just around the corner and even though my new exclusive print artwork for the show is done, I don't think I'll ever feel fully prepared for the show. I mean nothing could have prepared me for the madness that was CIII but I loved every minute of it

Star Wars.com previewed my Celebration IV limited edition print last night but if you head over to my official site or my Myspace page you can view a larger version of the artwork now. I'll be taking reserve requests for my print as well. Just check out my News section at my official site or my latest Myspace blog update for all of the info. I hope everyone enjoys the new artwork! I had so much fun creating it and it's a really special piece for me.

I look forward to seeing all of you at Celebration next month!

Hey Kieron! Glad you enjoy my new Star Wars print. I'll definitely hold one for you. I'll put you on my list right now. Justin Chung's and Chris Trevas' pieces look amazing! Everyone really pulled out all of the stops this time. Looking forward to seeing you and Kim again at the show

 

Thanks for holding one

If you're talking to Chris or Justin we plan on getting their work too (as long as it isn't like $150 ).


Where y'all staying? Kim and I are at the Holiday Inn.

 

I'm pretty sure Chris Trevas' print is also $50 and Justin's might be a little cheaper actually.
I've got a room booked at the Omni, which is about ten or twelves blocks from the convention center (luckily I have few friends there with cars for transportation just in case). It's where most of the LFL artists are staying I believe since they reserved rooms for us there.

 

Thought I'd post another heads up about my CIV print here -

http://www.rebelscum.com/story/front/C4_Poster_Reservations_105200.asp

I am currently taking reserve requests for my exclusive print artwork and a number of them have been reserved already. I wanted to keep you guys updated since some of you have purchased artwork from me in the past and I didn't want anyone from the forums here who really wants one to miss out.

Just email me at joe@joecorroney.com or PM me here with Celebration 4 Print in the subject line and I'll be sure to hold one for you at the show. They're limited to 250 signed and numbered editions, 19" x 24" and $50 each.

Thanks!

 

That's quite honestly the best ANH poster since the theatrical release.

 

That's an incredible compliment... thanks very much!!!

 

I just read the Marvel species article in Gamer 1, and I just wanted to say how much I loved your illustrations in it. It's great seeing all these species rendered in such a different and more detailed style than the Marvel comics. The Iskalonian, and for different reasons, the Zeltron one , were my favorites. The Em'liy one was pretty cool, since these guys were obscure even in the Marvel line, and seeing a "modern" adaptation of them was something I wouldn't normally expect.

 

Wow, now that's a blast from the past Thanks for enjoying the article! That was my first Star Wars assignment for Wizards of the Coast actually. I'm a big Marvel Star Wars fan, I grew up reading all of those comics, so it was a thrill getting to illustrate those alien species from the EU.

 

Just posting a heads up here that I've updated my Comics 101 feature at my official site and at World Famous Comics.com with a behind the scenes look at the creation and design process for my Star Wars Celebration IV Limited Edition Print artwork. Feel free to head over and check it out and let me know what you think.

By the way, this weekend on Saturday May 5th I'll be signing at Comics 2 Cars in Florence, KY for Free Comic Book Day. If you're from the area be sure to stop by.

Check out my Comics 101 update for more news.

Thanks!

Hey Sinrebirth It was a pleasure meeting you too. Glad you enjoyed the show! I had a great time too. Those Sith costumes were amazing!

 

I've returned from Star Wars Celebration Europe and I'm getting ready to turn right back around and head out for Comic-Con International in San Diego next week. I'll be appearing at table BB-08 in Artist Alley there, sketching, signing and selling my Star Wars and comic book artwork so be sure to stop by and say hi if you can. I'm really looking forward to this year's show. I'll also be signing at the IDW Publishing booth on Friday, July 27th from 3 - 4pm too.

Hey Joe,

I love this pic of Ton's death but was wondering if it ever got published?

~ Eyrezer

 

Thanks! That was published in full color for the "Twenty Most Memorable Moments of the Expanded Universe" feature (written by Abel Peña and Enrique Guerrero) for Star Wars Star Wars Insider #83.

 

Joe, it was an honour to meet you at the CE and, thanks to Tim, take pictures with you.
The entire show was great and I'm glad I had the chance to get some of yours original artwork.

 

It was great meeting you too and I'm glad Tim had his camera with him for the pics Celebration Europe was a really fun experience and thanks for picking up some of my artwork there. I hope to make it back to England for another show sometime soon too.

 

I have a new interview at Star Wars.com spotlighting my recent work for Topps Star Wars 30th Anniversary Sketch Cards -
