Got to spend time with Pop at his shop. Chose two stones to bring home. A garnet and an aquamarine. Budding jeweler?

Maxi Cards
This is the beginning of a series of cards Max is designing. He says there will be at least 25, and each card will have a new character that he has created and named. These first two are Jupiter Junebug and Iceman. Also note his rather cool cursive signature.
New Jedi
"A new picture of a Jedi Knight. And on the next picture it will show the back of him. I did a line so I knew where the mouth and nose and eyes went. And first I did my picture in pencil and then I copied it after in pen. Notice the reflections in the boots. Notice the lines in the clothing. And notice inside the arm sleeves." - Max

Storm Trooper
"Notice the shadow and how I shaded and erased the shading. How I did it is I traced the outline, but just the outline. All of the inner details I did on my own. I got inspired by another picture. I liked this process. PS. Notice the laser pointing at you." - Max

Battle Droid
"I got inspired from a Star Wars Drawing book. Notice the tiny details and how I drew things and then erased them." - Max

Flowers in Bloom
"Notice the tiny pebbles and look at how it's all black ink. I wanted people to see that there were some buds and some flowers." -Max
Forest Picture
"This is a game. Look for all of the bugs, like: the ladybug, the two beetles, and the spider." -Max
Storm Trooper
"This picture I drew is of a storm trooper in prison who is not wearing a helmet or armor. Notice how he fired a laser and the Jedi is falling. Those two lightsabers are the Jedi's lightsabers flying out of his hands. Notice how the laser is light shaded and the shirt is dark shaded." - Max

Star Wars Jedis
"These are pictures I drew of Jedi Knights. It took three hours for me to do it. They are very detailed, as you can see. I drew Jedi Knights because I love Star Wars. One of the pictures has the guy's light saber pointing at you. Notice the Jedi robe arms."
