So... I'm a Sketch Card Artist

It's my nature not to say much (I type much more in a day than I ever utter), so being tight-lipped isn't exactly a stretch. So, I never told that many people about a recent freelance endeavor, so I was a bit surprised when someone congratulated me at Celebration IV. I did some searching online, and I guess it's public knowledge.

I am one of the sketch card artists for the forthcoming Transformers Movie card set from Topps. Thanks to David Waldeck at Topps for making this happen. I'm in good company!

Marcel Matere
Rob Ruffolo

The set is due out in June. The sketch cards will be hobby store exclusives.

date Posted: Jun 06, 2007 1:14 AM I'm so sorry, Pablo. I know how much you hate Transformers. To be forced to do sketch cards for them must be absolutely heartbreaking. Congratulations.

Congratulations! You must be very talented.
We have two questions for you and we hope you will get back to us.
Will you be doing any Star Wars sketch cards? Also we wanted to ask you if you would
happen to know if there will be any upcoming auditions for the Star Wars television show?We remember you commented on one of our blogs,telling us that the 3-D Star Wars movies would probably not be this year.You were very helpful!

May The Force Be With You....Always!
