Secret Lives of Stormtroopers exhibition

An exhibition of some of my Secret Lives of Stormtroppers series is now open in Bar 10 in Glasgow. The exhibition will run throughout March. Bar 10 is located in Mitchell Lane (just off Buchanan Street and directly opposite The Lighthouse)

Sith Happens

There is always one who wants to be a tourist!

Another Banksy Influenced Stormie pic,

This isn't and 'official' Secret Lives pic, but a bit of a teaser for things to come. More Stormie Adventures coming in Feb 2010!

Hot Off The Press!

Hey folks!

Sorry i've not updated the blog in a while, but i'm sure you'll be glad to know my latest news...

The Stormies now have their own photobook available through Blurb, which featues some of your favourite Stormie shoots from my collection. You can check out the book and order it HERE

A Very Stormie Autumn!

The Stormies have been taking a bit of a break recently, and have taken on some new recruits. Today they decided to head back into the studio to celebrate the change of seasons and the glorious wonder of Autumn.

New recruit Tompkins wasn't too impressed with his 'Autumn Fairy' costume though...

L O S T

Um, yeah. Star Wars goes all Dharma Initiative.

Location: The beach at Cramond (near the Swan Station, lol).

Note: To all those people that passed giving me strange looks - this is what i was doing with a big plastic plane and a grin on my face. Completely normal. ALL photographers do this. Honest!

Now You Can Wear A Stormie!

In addition to being able to buy prints, cards and posters of some of the Secret Lives of Stormtroopers at Red Bubble, I have now added some T-Shirts.

The T-shirts are available in many sizes and styles, as well as in different colours.

Why not by yourself or a loved one an original T-Shirt design from my Secret Lives of Stormtroopers series?

Wear it at the gym. Wear it out in town. Wear it in bed. Wherever you wear it, wear it with pride!

Fan Mail

Everyone had their favourite Star Wars character. For some it was Han Solo, other wanted to be a Jedi like Luke Skywalker, others just wanted Princess Leia. For Private Willie though, he only had eyes for Vader.

Give The Little People A Voice

The Stormies take a stand and hold their own (small) protest on Glasgow's George Square.

Its not easy to get taken seriously when you're an inch and a half tall, apparently!

Give A Stormie A Home

I have decided to put a selection of my work up for sale on Red Bubble due to the response I've had from fans of my work. If you have seen something you like here on the bog, or on my main Flickr page, that I haven't yet uploaded to Red Bubble, then please let me know.

The images are available in all sorts of formats from greetings cards to mounted prints and posters, and can be ordered HERE.

Alternatively, UK buyers can order limited edition hand signed and mounted prints (limited to 25 prints) from me directly by emailing me at paulcookphotography@yahoo.co.uk. The first 3 prints ordered directly from me will also receive a numbered Lego Stormie that was used in the shoot including unique adoption papers. Something Madonna could only dream of!

Go on, give a Stormie a good home!

Deep Down, We All Want To Be Like Banksy

Yep, it was only a matter of time. Knowing my influences and stuff, it was just finding a way to put it all together...

Helpless

Sorry its been a while since the Stormies made an appearance. I have recently suffered a catastrophic hard-drive failure, as well as being busy with my exhibition/shows, so its been a little hectic!

Islands In The Stream

Islands in the stream
That is what we are
No one in-between
How can we be wrong
Sail away with me to another world
And we rely on each other, ah-ah
From one lover to another, ah-ah

Run Away! Run Away!

The garden isn't a safe place for the Stormies. Especially when the dreaded mower is about. Give us the Ewoks any day!

Little Troopers

"Oh, he's such a good baby. Sleeps right through the night too! But I'll tell you this for nothing, the creche facilities on this Death Star are rubbish! I'll be having a word with that nasty Emperor the next time i see him. Dont you worry!"

Note: I found the little pram (with toy bunny seen in another Stormie pic) at a car boot sale at the local primary school. To avoid trying to explain what a 35 year old guy wanted with a wee plastic pram, i asked my mum to go buy it for me. Best 5p i ever spent, lol

If You Go Down To The Woods Today...

You're in for a big surprise!

A Stormie tries to blend in, much to the confusion of the bears.

Market Day

It had been another bumper crop down at the Stormie Ranch, and they decided to enter 'Biggest Fruit/Veg' competition at the local market.

Notes: This picture came about after buying a pack of vine tomatoes in the reduced section of the local shop (just 10p!!!!). Anyway, I was challenged to see who could come up with the best shot using the tomatoes. This was my attempt!
