The Cromalin Strikes Back

Sample pages from upcoming sequel: The Cromalin Strikes Back

March 9, 2017by dearpublications.comNo Comments

Here are a couple of sample pages for my upcoming ESB packaging design book. First one is a spread with some Leia 45bk goodness. The Cromalin Strikes Back will be made in the same way as A New Proof, ESB headers and relevance to the packaging design related stuff from 1980-82 only. Everything from the process will be explained, great new interviews. All known orig photoart and Cromalins will be featured, and of course most of the known proofs and a bunch of QC’s and mock-ups etc.

It’s ironic that this book is called the Cromalin Strikes back since ESB in the line that definitely has the least known examples of Cromalins 🙂 But in the Zuckuss spread you see one of them.

Realease date is to be announced before Celebration.

INTERVIEWS

Collecting

Author nominated as Collector of the year in Sweden

March 9, 2017by dearpublications.comNo Comments

Collector Awards Sweden nominated author and collector Mattias Rendahl as “Collector of the year”. The gala took place in February in Stockholm, unfortunately he didn’t win, “but just to be nominated among more traditional and more respected collector areas was amazing”, Mattias says. “When I started to collect Star Wars toys back in the mid 90’s, I couldn’t in my wildest dreams think our beloved toys would be auctioned off at Sotheby’s in NYC and Hong Kong, that it would be cool to be a nerd, or even less that SW should be nominated together with “real” collectibles haha Man, time sure has changed…”
