Description
This is a convention sketch I did for Carrie Fisher, back in November 2006 in NYC. We were seated next to each other, and every time she had to leave her table she had to bump behind my chair, apologizing. We ended up having fun, so I did this sketch for her. STAR WARS was a very big deal for me growing up!Related content

Prolly wanna slap me for this, but when I was growing up StarWars was already kinda dying down... but thanks to having an amazing brother- From about age 2 StarWars has been a big deal for me. (:
I would have geeked out if I was next to Carrie Fisher... I love this picture, hilarious! (:

Great story, it must have been an honor to sit next to her. Pretty amazing you were able to strike up some conversation with her! I know I would have geeked out and probably not said anything. Thanks for sharing, great drawing!

Truly hilarious. I've seen exactly this kind of barely hidden — and not always so — air of insouciant boredom among other celebrities at cons.
Not that they don't appreciate their fans, but they have understandable human limits. (Artists, though, rarely seem to be this way.)

Heh 
BTW the insouciant boredom I sometimes think means "My God, what have we done..." looking at the gazillion of people at conventions all dressed like their heroes

Very funny sketch.
Sitting next to Carrie Fisher... Would you ever have thought that even remotely possible the first time you watched Star Wars? How happily surreal can life get?
