I also have a series of Star Wars-inspired paintings in the works. The suite is titled 'SANDSTORM' and it will show in the summer of 2013 at The Reach Galley Museum in Abbotsford, BC, Canada.  These epic-scale paintings will be done in the style of 19th century Romantic Painter Eugene Delacroix. Please check it out at: www.indiegogo.com/sandstorm Thank you,Chris So cool!
