I’ve been a Star Wars fan since I was a child and I clearly remember watching A New Hope on VHS as a kid. My friends all had Lego Tie Fighters and X-Wings and the bug caught me hard. The first movie I saw in the cinema as a kid was Phantom Menace and it was a game changer. So when I got the opportunity to finally paint posters for the original trilogy for Lucasfilm and Bottleneck Gallery in New York, it was an absolute dream come true.

“May the force be with you.”

“Hello there.”
