“The maker has returned!” – C-3PO, Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones
Not that he ever really went anywhere, but it always give me a little thrill to see that Balakov has put up another Lego Star Wars picture on the photo-sharing site Flickr. The most recent one, a Storm Trooper knitting, went straight to my heart.
A Storm Trooper Knitting by Balakov
After such a depressing post yesterday, I decided that I owed you all a little bit of happiness. Therefore, I’m going to share my most favorite Lego Star Wars action-figure-making-find. Don’t say I never gave you anything.
Remember the Storm Trooper on a Bicycle picture? Yeah, that’s Balakov’s handiwork. If you check out the ‘Sets’, you’ll see that he photographs more than just Star Wars with Legos, but those are – not surprisingly – some of my favorites.
UPDATE: And to answer Eileen’s question, there are many of Balakov’s images available as prints and cards at RedBubble, but this one is not available yet. Go leave a comment to Balakov about your desire for this particular image to be available as a print, and I’m willing to bet that he would be happy to oblige you.
OMG. I love this. I wonder if they make greeting cards?
OMK: I’m not sure about greeting cards, but I know he does prints. I just left a comment on his Flickr account suggesting he do so. Good idea, E!
How funny! Baby Boy’s sleepy time right now, but I’m definitely going to have to show him in the morning. I missed the bicycle one the first time. Hilarious!
Greeting cards….what a great idea!
This is sheer greatness….I often wondered what stormtroopers do on their downtime besides sleep, gamble, and drink…
If you don’t giggle at this pic there might be something seriously wrong with you.
Nothing but cute! Thanks.
That’s a classic!
That is pure awesomeness.
