Doc: A Memoir



It's no secret that I'm a Mets fan, thanks to growing up witnessing their World Series win in 1986. Gary Carter, Mookie Wilson, Darryl Strawberry, Keith Hernandez and of course the Doc; Dwight Gooden. Despite his legal & drug issues of the field, Dwight Gooden was one of the most dominant and feared pitchers in the National League in the middle and late 1980s.

From the World Series highs to the drug riddled lows; Doc's memoirs recounts it all

Star Wars: The Blueprints



One thing that has ALWAYS amazed me is the creation of worlds & galaxys in the minds of directors and how they put them on film. I have always had a vivid imagination, but most of the time it stayed just within my imagination. I was never able to transfer them from my mind. This truly is an art and something I have always appreciated.

One of the magical things about Star Wars in the world universe that is created and all the ships, robots & various lifeforms. This limited edition book contains the blueprints for buildings & renderings for characters like R2D2 & C3PO.

Press release:
Star Wars: The Blueprints brings together, for the first time, the original blueprints created for the filming of the Star Wars Saga. Drawn from deep within the Lucasfilm Archives and combined with exhaustive and insightful commentary from best-selling author J. W. Rinzler, the collection maps in precise, vivid, and intricate detail the very genesis of the most enduring and beloved story ever to appear onscreen.

Star Wars: The Blueprints gives voice to the groundbreaking and brilliant engineers, designers, and artists that have, in film after film, created the most imaginative and iconic locales in the history of cinema. Melding science and art, these drawings giving birth to fantastic new worlds, ships, and creatures.

Most importantly, Blueprints shows how in bringing this extraordinary epic to life, the world of special effects as we know it was born. For the first time, here you will see the initial concepts behind such iconic Star Wars scenes as the Rebel blockade runner hallways, the bridge of General Grievous’s flagship, the interior of the fastest “hunk of junk” in the Galaxy, and Jabba the Hutt’s palace. Never before seen craftsmanship and artistry is evident whether floating on the Death Star, escaping on a speeder bike, or exploring the Tatooine Homestead.

Star Wars: The Blueprints is a limited edition. Only 5,000 hand-numbered English language copies will be available.
