Sweden-based artist Mattias Adolfsson creates Baroque-style portraits (think wigs and Steampunk gears with a cartoony twist) of Darth Vader, Chewbacca, Princess Leia, Luke Sylkwalker, C-3PO and R2-D2, a stormtrooper, and even the Death Star and the AT-AT!

Starship Modeler recently hosted a contest that asked contestants to submit their best model “wreck” — that is, any model that might be defined as“derelict, broken, abandonned, war-weary, busted, beat up, junker, hangar queen, crashed, pranged, in disrepair, poorly maintained and held-together-with-baling-wire-and-prayers”, etc.
Scratch modeler Dimitri Kaliviotis took home the first place prize with his stunning 1/32 scale AT-AT, which truly looks like something post-apocalyptic from that galaxy far, far way. Check out the rest of the entries for more Star Wars-inspired wrecks.

Star Wars legend Stuart Freeborn, sculptor/designer of Chewbacca and Yoda, among others, was recently invited to Star Wars: The Exhibition at County Hall in London. There, the 92-year-old Freeborn toured the scores of original props and costumes, accompanied by Bob Keen (who worked for Freeborn during Empire and Jedi) and Jonathan Sands of Weird & Wonderful (see image above).
Sands says he will be shooting a short documentary of Freeborn for another exhibition which will be taking place at County Hall shortly.

French photographer Cédric Delsaux uses Attakus Star Wars statues in real-world locations for a mash-up series of images that capture the imaginations of fans who rave about his work for not only in the Blogosphere — as well as in various magazines including Star Wars Insider.
Here’s what Delsaux said in a recent interview in Insider about his work and his plans for new imagery:
Would you like to do more photography work using Star Wars as the muse?
Yes, I would love to. I’d like to find new ways to make it live. The first series was done with toys, but if some fans with costumes want to help me, it will allow me to bring my photos to a new level. It will give new perspective to my ideas. And I do have some new ideas now. I would like to leave Paris for a while and bring Star Wars to a new place. The Star Wars universe is so large and rich, that we can go to thousand places on our planet.
Delsaux work is currently on exhibit until Oct. 20 in the gallery Project 4.
