Awesome Star Wars Poster
At ComiCon I had the luck of running into Dave Dorman from whom I bought an awesome Star Wars poster.
I mean… AWESOME! It’s named “Lord Vader’s Persuasion of the Outer Rim Worlds to Join the Empire.” Check it out…
(it’s at a high rez so you can really check it out - but since it’s a photograph, find an original scan here at sandtroopers.com ^_^)
Dave also personalized it for me by drawing a trooper on it… I took some videos of his drawing ability…
I finally figured out I should turn the camera upside down…
and here is the final trooper! :) - it took him more or less 90 seconds…
Glad you like his Star Wars poster. I thought I’d mention to you that I personally modeled for that poster, as Dave Dorman wanted some members of the 501st Legion to pose for him. It was truly an honor and a pleasure to work with Dave on this. You can read an article we wrote at Sandtroopers.com about this experience.

I also posed in another one of his successful prints that was made for Celebration Europe.

BTW, I was a sandtrooper in these prints, and in the one you purchased I’m the one in the foreground pointing.
May the Force be with you!

Wow, Dustrho!
I just loved that poster so much I had to get it… Now its being framed and will go up in my office. Its amazing Dave used actual models for it, and even more awesome that you were part of it. I was actually asking myself if the trooper pointing was communicating something like:
“Shoot there…”
or
“Look at them run…” :)
Thanks for this awesome comment.
May the Force be with you!

Wow Dave’s drawing skills is simply amazing. Makes you think whether he has a robotic arm or something with the kind of precision he shows when he is drawing. By the way, this is a very interesting blog. Will definitely come back for more interesting news and do you mind if I add you to my blogroll?
