About Robert Bailey:
A licensed Star Wars artist, Bailey only sells original artwork. He does not sell prints. His work for Star Wars helped him become licensed by major movie studios like Disney, Pixar, and Marvel. From his studio in Stoney Plain (west of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada), Bailey works mostly in graphite and he trained at the Longton College of Art in England during the 1960’s. He and Mr. Sneyd shared adjacent booths at several Vancouver, Toronto conventions and once in Calgary.
