It was pretty adorable so I broke out the camera and filmed her overcranked at 30fps in the low lighting as she twirled about the room for a couple of songs. Once she was fast asleep I edited this together in about an hour. Dads…we’re suckers for our little girls.

Yes, I like Star Wars, but not at a “code red” level of geek. I feel that I have a healthy love and appreciation for the galaxy far, far, away, but those original storm trooper uniforms are just bad ass! (Ok, so maybe I am a geek. Don’t judge. I see you judging.)

So I wanted some original, yet “classy”, storm trooper artwork for my home. Check out THE CUTTING ROOM FLOOR page to see what I came up with.

May the force be with you…I see you judging. Do you feel your throat getting tighter? Yeah, I thought so.

Now I am sure that I am not the first person to come up with this concept, but I thought superimposing the Storm Trooper helmet on to some very iconic imagery would be a great addition to an empty wall in the corner of my dining room. So on a random Thursday night I broke out my laptop, fired up photoshop, and got to work. About 2 hours later I had designed four concept pieces. That following weekend I took a trip to Ikea, snagged four 9×9 shadow box frames, printed out my artwork, and put them together. A hammer, 4 nails, and a glass of wine later, and the artwork was complete and displayed in the dinning room.

Here is what I came up with.
