Earlier this week we brought you some cool, propaganda-style Star Wars trading cards designed by artist Cliff Chiang. The cards are part of Topps’s latest Star Wars set, Star Wars Galaxy 5. Other artists were also commissioned to design cards and one of them was Katie Cook. Her artwork is adorable and I particularly like her design featuring the Wampas. Why did she choose these creatures?
“I’m a huge fan of the creatures of Star Wars and the Wampa is right at the top of my list of favorite SW critters. In a deleted scene from Empire, Han wants to take a shortcut through a room in Empire and Leia tells him ‘that’s where they keep those creatures’. C-3P0 does something totally out of character and takes the warning sign down, hoping to trick the troopers into going in there. I’ve ALWAYS wanted to see the scene where the stormtroopers are being attacked by the wampas trapped in this room. I imagine it to be a furry, frantic battle where, of course, the wampas win.”
Hit the jump to check out both cards. Click here to check out Cook’s official website, click here to friend her on Facebook, and click here to follow her on Twitter.

How graphic.
I like how sketch cards pay dick, and they get people who can't draw to do them. These look like ass.
Wow, Murdock. Katie is also one of the artists who draws the Clone Wars web comics, and is considered one of the 20 most influential women of Star Wars via a starwars.com article. She also is one of the writers and artists of the new Fraggle Rock comic. Feel free to see how much people are willing to pay for her sketch cards on ebay. Sorry you don't see great creative talent in a style that differs from your own taste.
