Artist: Chris McVeigh

those of you that know me know that i have a weakness for star wars with a special affection for chewbacca and storm troopers. ask to hear my chewbacca impression next time. i even have a few figures on my desk at work to make me happy daily. the first time i saw the work of chris mcveigh i was smitten. it's absolutely wonderful and the work with chipmunks is remarkable. it's all real...no photoshop to get the chipmunks in place. amazing! check out chris's site here.
