Robert is one of the few people to have been made a Lucasfilm-endorsed Star Wars artist, creating fantastically detailed pencil drawings of the beloved characters from the series. Lucas spotted Robert’s previous work and then invited him to work on the book Star Wars: Visions, which saw 30 artists create their own interpretations of characters and scenes. George bought many of Robert’s prints for both himself and cast and crew members.

All Robert Bailey’s Star Wars pieces are stamped with a copyright to Lucasfilms, showing their authenticity and approval by the company behind the series.

Stylist Preferences

Using a method called hatching, whereby the closely drawn parallel lines imply shade, tone and texture, Bailey’s drawings take many hours to complete. The distance between the hatching marks determines how light or dark that area appears. Notable adopters of hatching include Leonardo da Vinci, Rembrandt, Michelangelo, and Edgar Degas.

The Empire Strikes Back| 2024

In this collection, Bailey has illustrated scenes from the script Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back (1980), creating incredibly detailed pencil drawings. As well as being hand-signed by the artist, each original drawing bears two Lucasfilm stamps. Each drawing is combined with a page of an original script used by Michael Ford (1928 – 2018), a set decorator and art director on the original production of the film.

Robert Bailey’s drawings and pages from Michael Ford’s script have been paired together, then mounted and framed in black mount and placed under museum-quality glass. The result is a collection of totally unique pieces which are prized by any Star Wars collector.

Art and film: a timeless duo

The relationship between art and film has a complex connection that stretches back to the dawn of cinema in the late 19th century. Captivating audiences and challenging norms, the two are tightly bound by their shared visual power, storytelling and use of both legacy techniques and new technology, meaning the notional bridge between the two mediums is regularly crossed. We explore the film-art crossover that has resulted in both still and moving masterpieces for over a century.
