Banner reading LEFTOVERS & PALETTE GREMLINS 2025 GALLERY PROJECt. The accompanying art is from EXO ENCOUNTER and features a spherical probe droid hovering over a mountain lake. The near foreground is obscured by colorful jagged rocks. On the far right are two small figures in orange spacesuits staring at the massive droid. A small alien lizard can be seen on the far left. The far side of the water is a mix of rock formations and glacial ice. Beyond that rises an escarpment that partially obscures cloudy skies.

One of the best perks of being a paid supporter is receiving previews of originals before the art is listed in our shop.

For this Whelan Wednesday, Michael returns to one of his favorite scenes from The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien, putting aspiring burglar Bilbo Baggins in a pinch for the next installment in the 2025 Leftovers & Palette Gremlins gallery project.

As always, individual links provided below lead directly to the art in our shop but access to the pages won’t be available until release on Wednesday, May 28 at 11am ET.
