Lightsabre update with a great chat between Mark Newbold and artist Kevin Graham:

Q - Kevin, welcome to Lightsabre.

A – Thanks for the opportunity. When you said this was an informal interview I didn’t realize you’d be sitting here in your boxers.

Q – You're becoming a regular fixture in trading cards sets with your art being distributed far and wide. When did your career as an artist begin?

A – I have been drawing ever since I could remember. I’ve always wanted to draw Star Wars as a profession and am very glad I finally got the opportunity to. I’ll probably draw up until my final breath. I find drawing very relaxing. Well at least when I don’t have deadlines looming over my head. I actually started very young doing artwork for companies, mostly logos and illustrations. Around 2000 I started my own company covering all areas of media.



Q – What kick-started your interest in Star Wars™?

A – I’ve been interested in Star Wars ever since I saw it in the theaters in 1977. I was seven at the time and it was something so different then anything I had seen before. I started collecting the Star Wars figures through out the years. Sadly I opened them all. When your a kid what kind of fun is an action fiction still in it’s box. I still collect the action figures now but don’t open them. My kids think I am nuts. I just say, at least I know where all the parts are to my figures, still in the box.
