Hi guys, this is with a great sadness that I must inform you all that the Battle of Yavin artwork designed by the talented Sublevel Studios will not be on sales this monday as scheduled. I’ve been indeed forbidden by Lucasfilm to do so. Please read the full article to know everything about it, and be aware that an other print will be presented to you this very monday.

Bonjour à tous, c’est avec une grande tristesse que je dois vous informer que le premier print exclusif de Geek-Art, la Bataille de Yavin, designé par le talentueux Sublevel Studios, ne sera pas mis à la vente ce lundi comme prévu. J’ai en effet reçu un mail de Lucasfilm me l’interdisant. Plus de détails plus bas, mais sachez d’ores et déjà qu’un nouveau print vous sera présenté ce lundi.

Alas, despite all my efforts to reach someone at Lucasfilm, I couldn’t talk to anyone, and thus couldn’t do anything to save this print. I had no intention to cause any troubles to Lucasfilm with this 100 exemplaries limited artwork tribute to Star Wars. My apologize to you guys who were interested into buying this print. Note that an other, exclusive and limited artwork will be presented to you on monday, so stay tuned !

Hélas, en dépit de mes efforts pour joindre quelqu’un chez Lucasfilm, je n’ai pu parler à personne de mon cas, et je me suis vu ainsi dans l’obligation d’annuler la vente de ce print. Je n’avais nullement l’intention de causer des problèmes à Lucasfilm avec cette oeuvre hommage à Star Wars vendue à 100 exemplaires. Mes excuses à vous tous qui étiez intéressé par ce print, notez tout de même que l’aventure Geek-Art continue, et qu’un autre print en édition limitée vous sera présenté lundi, alors restez connectés !

I know, it’s not mother’s day, but why waiting ? Yasmin Liang drew this fantastic panel, full of emotion, that will warm your heart this morning (or afternoon, or night, or whatever). Please have a look at Yasmin’s sketchbook, very cool stuff.

Je sais, ce n’est pas la fête des mères, mais que voulez-vous… Yasmin Liang a dessiné ce magnifique triptyque à la gloire des mômans de super héros… Très beau, et je vous conseille d’aller jeter un oeil au site de Yasmin, rempli de merveilles…
