JENNIFER DRISCOLL DEPAOLA Original Rebel Legion Star Wars Sketchcard for Make A Wish Foundation

Welcome to the Rebel Legion auction for authentic Sketchcards from various Star Wars Artists to benefit the Make-A-Wish® Foundation. The sketches featured are of ACTUAL members of the Rebel Legion International Star Wars Costuming Organization. In 2012, the Rebel Legion decided to do a limited set of sketchcards of our members to commemorate Celebration VI in Orlando Florida. 14 world renowned and extremely talented artists generously donated their time and skills to create these one of a kind pieces of art. Most pieces feature a Rebel Legion member in their approved Star Wars costume. Once the art was completed it was compiled into sets only available to Rebel Legion members. With the approval of Lucasfilm, the original art for the cards was to be auctioned off to benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation® in hopes that the funds would bring joy to a child in need.

Since 1980, the Make-A-Wish Foundation® has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The Foundation's mission reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish® experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors, and entire communities.

The Rebel Legion, founded in 2000, is the premier "Good Guy" Star Wars Costuming Organization. We are the prefered volunteer Rebel Costuming Organization of Lucasfilm. The Rebel Legion was initially founded to unite people with a passion for making and wearing "light side" Star Wars reproduction costumes, but over the years we have expanded our mission to include volunteer charity work. The Rebel Legion's costumers are available for hospital visits, walk-a-thons, fundraisers and events sponsored by/in support of charity and community causes.

This auction features the art of JENNIFER DRISCOLL DEPAOLA:

MEMBER: REBEL LEGION FREEDOM BASE
"I am Jenn DePaola - Artist & Star Wars fan. I've been drawing since my early childhood, many moons ago. My love of the arts began with cartoons as a child, moving on to comic books, and eventually to portraiture. I have always had a fascination with drawing, and just being creative in general. I'm primarily a digital artist using Photoshop and a Wacom tablet, although in the past year I have been working on sketch cards in traditional mediums; with Prismacolor Markers and Rapidograph pens. Digital gives me the freedom to paint more photo-realistic portraits without all of the fuss of art supplies, and the level of detail I'm able to achieve is phenomenal. While traditional supplies lend themselves to more of a "comic-realism" style that I've developed. It also gives me a break from portraiture and I'm able to relax my style a bit and get a little crazy with it, which is tons of fun. Currently, I'm working on personal commissions, official sketch card sets for Topps, and am also a co-founder and contributer to a podcast & blog -
