Cantwell has many items available for sale through his store.
"I've gone to the dark side. For the first time, my original 1975 concept prints are available for purchase. These sketches got me the job designing and modeling the Star Wars ships for what became A New Hope. http://www.cantwellstore.com Thank you all for the love and support. If it wasn't for the encouragement of those around me, these designs would still be locked up in my basement…"
