Han Solo’s special commando team make their plans to deal with two Biker Scouts. What plan will they ultimately settle on? Hmmm. I wonder…

Leanne: Some time ago, I was commissioned by my pal Karen to draw a piece featuring different aspects from Paula Abdul’s career. Some of you may remember that I drew Paula quite a bit back in the American Idol days, albeit pretty cartoony pieces featuring her and her fellow judges, but we wanted something more realistic for this piece. Since I am total PA fangirl, I had a complete blast playing around with different scenes from Paula’s music videos– and even a Coke commercial!– to create the finished art. (You can find descriptions and links to music videos for each of the panels here on my deviantART page.)

Fast forward a couple years later, and Karen was actually able to meet Paula herself this past Sunday at the 3rd annual Wigs and Wishes charity gala. Not only did Karen give Paula a copy of my commission, but she had a photo taken of her holding it!

It was completely surreal and awesome. Not every day you can say that a celeb you admire (and fangirl over) digs one of your drawings!

Special thanks to Karen and Britney Clause Photography for the gorgeous photo!!

NEW BMS WEBSITE GOFUNDME CAMPAIGN UPDATE

If you had not yet been able to pitch in and would still like to, we are trying to raise as much of a bonus as possible which will go towards improving the design of the site, particularly the archive and navigation functionality as well as future maintenance, backups and emergency fixes.

How much room we have to grow the site will depend on the continued success of the New Blue Milk Special Websbite campaign at GoFundMe. So, if you can help out, that is fantastic. If you can’t, that’s fine. I know a lot of people are not in a great situation at the moment. Neither are we. Thanks for reading BMS and shooting us your emails and leaving your comments. They are a huge motivation for both of us.
