✨ The new Topps trading card set Star Wars Chrome 2025 is released today and I contributed 20 hand-drawn pieces of artwork.
💛 All my cards are embellished with a gold foil logo, making them harder to find so if you’re a card collector - happy hunting!

Previously unreleased process shots for a 2-card puzzle created as part of the #RRParksCards 100th Anniversary of #Zorro trading card set.
The second image is a perfect example of the type of WIP shot that I love - it's not finished, but I can visualise where it's going.

Another triptych card for Star Wars Masterwork, featuring Luke & Leia facing off with a biker scout in RotJ. I mean c'mon, that has my name written ALL over it. 😄

As an ongoing side-project, just for fun, I’m making custom logos using Adobe Illustrator based on movies, TV shows & toys that I love.
Back to the Future has been my #1 film for 40 years so I needed to get this one right.

Some naughty boi process shots.
I went minimal with the ink work to avoid distracting from the softer edges and I think it helped the realism which is always tricky drawing at such a small size.

✏️ Sketchagraphs are one of my favourite things about the trading card community.
I drew the art which was then signed by the actor, or voice actor in the case of Watto (Andy Secombe, son of comedy legend Sir Harry Secombe!)

A 2.5" x 3.5" sketch card, drawn for a recent RRParks Cards set for Carpenter's THE THING. 🐶
We couldn't draw actor likenesses so had to get creative and delve a bit deeper. This might be the card I'm most proud, out of the 100s I've done over the years, mainly because I don't draw many animals.

✏️ I’ve listed some 2.5” x 3.5” sketch cards on ebay and each one is a hand-drawn 1/1 original.
This T2 card was drawn as part of my first official set back in 2017 and it ended up back with me last year so I gave it a glow up!

A triptych card for Star Wars Masterwork which released last month.
These cards were perfect for capturing widescreen shots. And they don’t come much wider than Jabba! 🐸

These two are off to a new home this week. The Dog Thing is one of my favourite cards I’ve ever drawn. And Savini is just a cool dude. Evil, but cool.

Hello there! 👋
I'm Dave - a UK-based traditional media portrait artist with a penchant for pop culture. Drawing faces is my jam and I love connecting with like-minded folk.
Good vibes with a general steer towards the 80s memories of my childhood. And all the artwork I can muster.
