Bailey has signed over the lower left in pencil. Stamps are present over the base including “Copyright Lucasfilm Ltd” and “Robert Bailey – Officially licensed Star Wars and Disney artist”. With no issues for the work, the piece is ready for a quality framing.
Trained at the Longton College of Art in England during the 1960s and currently residing in Alberta, artist Robert Bailey enjoyed various careers in photography, journalism and television. After meeting George Lucas at Skywalker Ranch, Bailey became a licensed Lucasfilm-endorsed artist, and has created works for the film sold at comic conventions, with his favorite characters C3PO and Yoda. Bailey is also licensed to draw Disney and Marvel characters, usually The Avengers and Spider Man, with the late Stan Lee once stating that Bailey was his favourite artist.
