52 Weeks of Star Wars is a weekly photo project starring various characters from the Star Wars franchise. This photo project is a continuation of sorts to my original series; 365 Days of Clones, specially my Cloned Photos mini-series.
Today marks the Twentieth creation in this year long adventure. As the title suggests; 52 Weeks of Star Wars, one new photo will be taken, edited and added to the running total every Sunday. The twist is that all the images will be a recreation of sorts of a previous image. Some; like today, will be a recreation from a movie poster, while others will be recreations of famous images of the 20th century or album covers. There may even be the odd recreation of a painting!
“The Imperial Network” is my recreation of the infamous “the Social Network Poster” featuring Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg; the founder of Facebook. The film tells the story of the creation of the idea of what eventually developed into Facebook.
Some of you may be wondering why I chose to create a Cloned Photo based upon a film that at first glance has nothing to do with the Star Wars franchise. For starters; at least in my opinion, Facebook (and perhaps Google) will eventually rule the world. Similarly; the Galactic Empire (more commonly known as The Empire), strives for supreme rule over the galaxy. Eerily similar don’t you think? I also thought it would be appropriate seeing as it was Mark Zuckerberg’s birthday this week and Facebook stock began trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Again, this weeks creation brought new challenges to the table. Everything was created from the ground up so to speak. Everything from the scroll bars, to the Imperial Network logo, to the buttons and tabs where all created in Illustrator and brought into Photoshop where they were added to the original image. I can truly say that I am very satisfied with the end result…
Enjoy!

Everyone remembers hearing Admiral Ackbar otter the words “It’s a Trap” in Return of the Jedi. Behind “I am your Father”, they are likely the most recognizable lines from the Star Wars franchise. After creating this image for week 19 of my 52 Weeks of Star Wars, I decided it would make a great shirt design. I should note that I am very much aware that I am not the first to create a Barack Obama “HOPE” parody using the good Admiral; however, I couldn’t resist creating it upon discovering that BARACK is a anagram for ACKBAR! I hope I have put my own stamp on it so to speak.
It’s a Trap can now be found as a T-Shirt, Long Shelved Shirt, Girly Tee, Hoodie and much more at Redbubble.
Enjoy!

52 Weeks of Star Wars is a weekly photo project starring various characters from the Star Wars franchise. This photo project is a continuation of sorts to my original series; 365 Days of Clones, specially my Cloned Photos mini-series.
Today marks the Nineteenth creation in this year long adventure. As the title suggests; 52 Weeks of Star Wars, one new photo will be taken, edited and added to the running total every Sunday. The twist is that all the images will be a recreation of sorts of a previous image. Some; like today, will be a recreation from the media, while others will be recreations of various movie posters or album covers and some will be remakes of famous images of the 20th century.
“TRAP” is my recreation of Shepard Fairey’s infamous “HOPE Poster” featuring Barack Obama. I have done my best to position Admiral Ackbar’s head in the same position as Barack Obama’s; however, it was very difficult considering I was using a 3.75 inch figure once again.
Some of you may be wondering why I chose to create a Cloned Photo based upon Fairey’s poster considering it has been done and it would seem that I am about four years too late. First and foremost; like most of my shots, it is something that I haven’t done before and I wanted to give it a go. Secondly, I recently realized that Barack is an anagram for Ackbar. After discovering this, I couldn’t get this image out of my head and I knew the only way I was going to get any rest was to create it…

52 Weeks of Star Wars is a weekly photo project starring various characters from the Star Wars franchise. This photo project is a continuation of sorts to my original series; 365 Days of Clones, specially my Cloned Photos mini-series.
Today marks the Eighteenth creation in this year long adventure. As the title suggests; 52 Weeks of Star Wars, one new photo will be taken, edited and added to the running total every Sunday. The twist is that all the images will be a recreation of sorts of a previous image. Some; like today, will be a recreation from a famous painting, while others will be recreations of various movie poster or album covers and some will be remakes of famous images of the 20th century.
“Princess with a Pearl Earring” is my interpretation of Johannes Vermeer’s portrait of “Girl with a Pearl Earring”.
Some of you may be wondering why I chose to create a Cloned Photo based upon Vermeer’s painting. Truth be told, I’ve wanted to do this one for a while now. The trick was gathering all the right fabrics, which I’ll have to admit are not perfect. There is a lot of mystery and controversy behind Vermeer’s paintings and the Girl with a Pearl Earring is no exception. The Girl with a Pearl Earring is considered by many to be the “Mona Lisa of the North” or the “Dutch Mona Lisa”. Nothing is truly known about the woman in the painting; similarly to da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. The idea of using Princess Leia as the subject for both of these works (check out week six for the The Mona Leia) is due in part to the fact that her past is also a mystery to most of the Empire and Republic; there are only a select few who know her true identity…

“Princess Leia” is my interpretation of the 1990 classic “Pretty Woman”.
Some of you may be wondering why I chose to create a Cloned Photo based upon this unlikely romance. Simply put, there are many similarities between Han and Leia romance.

Today marks the sixteenth creation in this year long adventure. As the title suggests; 52 Weeks of Star Wars, one new photo will be taken, edited and added to the running total every Sunday. The twist is that all the images will be a recreation of sorts of a previous image. Some; like today, will be a recreation from a famous image of the 20th century, while others will be movie posters or album covers. There may even be the odd recreation of a painting!
“Stormtrooper with the Dewbacks” is my recreation of the Richard Avedon’s famous photo “Dovima with the Elephants”. Dovima is depicted in front of several elephants mimicking their trunks.
Some of you may be wondering why I chose to create a Cloned Photo based upon Avedon’s image. “Dovima with the Elephants” is very well know because at the time it was taken; 1955, contrasting an elegant, clean, beautiful model with a group of dirty elephants was unheard of. By today’s standards, however, it is almost expected and it is thanks to photographers like Avedon pushing the boundaries that fashion and other types of photography have come so far. This is an image I’ve wanted to recreate for sometime. The contrast between the elephants and the model have always intrigued me. I’ve often wondered how Avedon came up with the idea…hopefully I’ve done it some justice in my recreation.
Enjoy!

Today marks the fifteenth creation in this year long adventure. As the title suggests; 52 Weeks of Star Wars, one new photo will be taken, edited and added to the running total every Sunday.

“TK-456” is my recreation of the infamous photo of “Conrad Schumann” taken by Peter Leibing in 1961. The image depicts Schumann defecting from East Berlin to West Berlin just three days after construction of the Berlin Wall had begun. It is one of the most iconic images of the Cold War.
Some of you may be wondering why I chose to create a Cloned Photo based upon Leibing’s image. I’ve always wondered if if there were any Stormtroopers on the Death Star that wanted to leave the Empire but just didn’t have the courage to do so. It is for them that I created this image.

52 Weeks of Star Wars is a weekly photo project starring various characters from the Star Wars franchise. This photo project is a continuation of sorts to my original series; 365 Days of Clones, specially my Cloned Photos mini-series.
Today marks the fourteenth creation in another year long adventure. As the title suggests; 52 Weeks of Star Wars, one new photo will be taken, edited and added to the running total every Sunday. The twist is that all the images will be a recreation of sorts of a previous image. Some; like today, will be a recreation from a movie poster, while others will be recreations of famous images of the 20th century or album covers. There may even be the odd recreation of a painting!
“Han Solo’s Day Off” is my recreation of the 1980’s cult classic “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off” movie poster. Ferris Bueller’s Day Off tells the story of a high school student; Ferris Bueller, who convinces his parents that he is sick and cannot go to school. He then picks up his girlfriend and best friend up at school; posing as his girlfriend’s father. The trio then takes in the sights and sounds of Chicago; including the Art Institute of Chicago, the Sears Tower, Wrigley Field and of course singing to Twist and Shout during a parade!
Some of you may be wondering why I chose to create a Cloned Photo based upon Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. I have always thought that both characters; Solo and Bueller, were very clever at outwitting their enemies. I also thought that Solo’s classic pose of leaning against Chewbacca would look good in place of Bueller.
Enjoy!
