Oh! That’s hilarious! All you needed was a work of art with Jabba the Hutt in it and it would’ve been perfect!
Most of these are wonderful and adorable, but the one that really made my day was the ‘omg somebody save those cherub babies from the dark side!! (Though I suppose that’s what happens when word gets around that the dark side has cookies)
LOVE!
Funny!
Haha thanks guys! And I agree a Jabba the Hutt would have perfectly rounded it out…dangit.

this just made my day.
I like this. The girl holding the robot is cool.
That’s C3PO…hello??
Whoops..I mean an At-At Walker
This was great. I just finished a Humanities class and we studied almost all of the paintings that were altered. I laughed when i saw Darth Vader on the horse instead of Napoleon. Great ideas.
I’m glad everyone is enjoying this little bit of sci-fi/geek comedy.
Hilarious! Especially like the re-imagined Office Seurat painting. I have an officeful of sci-fi geeks, so must pass your site along!
Awesome thanks!
Oh God this is so funny you make my day. May the force of a hundred thousand horses be with you. AR2.
Thanks. I needed that!
Glad I could help
The First Picture: The Vitruvian Wookie
Cool post.
My kids are going to love the Star Wars ones. We are a Star Wars kind of family, after all.
A Star Wars family….sounds like my kind of people!
LOL absolutely loved this!! Especially the one with Darth Vader riding!! This certainly brightened up my day (currently at work now and am a little naughty taking lots of breaks! ooops
)
Glad I could help! Hope your shift goes well!

I love this stuff. Is the artwork someone else’s or did you photoshop some stuff.
Nope unfortunately I am not responsible for this awesomeness. These were entries in Star Wars-related Photoshop contests at Worth 1000.

Someone was a tad bit bored on “A Sunday Afternoon”? Very Entertaining and quite different. Loved this!
These are great! Reminds me of these wonderful paintings:

Hahaha those are awesome!
Yes, this is so cool. haha. Love the Yoda one!
“The Force is strong in this one…”
This gives new meaning to “space invaders”. Great stuff.
God Bless
Ha! Just as it should be!
Cool…Chewbacca gives me the creeps though. Hehe

What the Chewman?! He’s just a cute lil Wookwook.
I “liked” it because there was no “loved” it button.
Haha there are many times I have also wished for a LOVE button.
I’m looking at the bottom one and I can’t see Star Wars.
Staring 3PO as Jean Paul Marat
Awesome But I wanted to see Obi-Wan there
This is great–next I want to see someone do a Star Trek series!
Those are all great–though my favorite is of “Yoda” relaying his wisdom!
Highly original post!
The Vitruvian Chewbacca……..

LMAO. That was awesome!

This…is winning! Rock on!
HILARIOUS
Congratulations! You’ve make me lol today
Wow this is hilarious! I remember seeing The Office one before, but the star wars one’s are excellent! Congrats on the FP!
Sweeeet!
I never get tired of reinventing the Star Wars characters! Blending them with classic pieces – genius! I love the C3PO one!
What is the name of the original? Wasn’t it an image of an assassinated French Revolutionary, or am I confused?
That I do not know. I appreciate art for what it looks like and appreciate the title while I see it, but don’t usually retain that part. Sorry!
Brilliant! This is a must-share. I’ve seen the Victorian Star Wars pictures, but these lend a whole new dimension to the Star Wars-takes-over-classic-art genre.
I see you’ve already answered my question, where in the world did you come across these. That looks like an interesting site. These are great. I love the girl holding the AT-AT like a doll.
This is pretty cool
superb…love it…girl holding a robot
Excellent. Gary Larson did something similar with dachshunds. I blogged about it here, hope you enjoy: http://fidophiles.wordpress.com/2012/03/14/if-i-were-in-charge-of-art-galleries/
That’s what I call creative
Andii, I love any and all Star War references and this is so disturbing and so cool at the same time.
Haha thanks I’m glad you enjoyed!

Like I have said before, Love, Love Love, any and all Star War reference where they are not supposed to be. Check out more from adayinthelifeofageek.wordpress.com.
meet your millionaires.
The picture with Yoda in it was absolutely brilliant. His expression especially
… Although I’m a star wars fan, paintings are not my thing, so can you tell me what is the original of that particular painting called?
haha nice job !!
haha nice job !!!
The universe is now a better place.

Fantastic…Can’t wait to see what you do for Star Wars Day on Friday. You surely knew that Friday is Star Wars Day…????
Forgot to hit the follow comments button….
I love the last photo!!! This gives me the idea, when I retire, I’ll parody some famous paintings in photos.
Nice Images.

I wish I had a pet AT-AT.
Who knew that a Wookie had the same bodily dimensions as homo sapien? But there you go. Ha ha! These are great! Loved them!
Amazing !!!
Absolutely brilliant, well done. I majored in Art History & I teach it now, and you’ve integrated all the Star Wars characters brilliantly into the paintings, getting all the tones, colours and textures perfect. Really adds to the humour somehow. I shall be pressing “follow” to subscribe. Looking forward to seeing more of your work already. Fantastic post, well done!
These are really good, thanks for posting
Did you do the art work? It is amazing. Love Yoda!
Congrats on being Freshly Pressed!
Haha, Palpatine with the babies is creepy as heck!
lol, it’s sooo awesome!! very creative.. i haven’t really watched star wars, but i like what you did with the pictures..
Dwight Schrute meets Georges Seurat! Way cool! Thanks Andii.
Put simply. This is genius
Love the one with Chewie!
Love it!!!
There is just nothing like the classics…But seriously, with things like this, will the talking heads 100 or 200 years from now be able to distinguish the old Rensaissance art from the Old Republic art?
A wonderful way to amuse the current generation and confuse the future generations. I loved it!! Thanks for sharing…
Thanks for sharing these! I just shared this on my wordpress blog right here: http://abbyescart.wordpress.com/2012/05/03/star-wars-invades-famous-works-of-art-and-the-office/
Not to mix sci-fi references but…Shiny!
I love these! Well I love the star wars work, I have to admit I’m not a fan of the Office! Thank you for sharing! It really brightened up my day seeing this artwork
Anytime! Thank you for stopping by! Hope your day only gets better.
LOL!
Overwhelmed by genius! Awesome!
Oh, my! These made my day. I’ve seen the Office reenactment of the famous painting scene before, but all of the Star Wars pics are new to me. Thanks for sharing
Oh, and May the 4th be with you!

Quite possibly one of the funniest things I’ve seen! Now, if we could only find a picture of Jabba to put into Holbein’s ‘The Ambassadors’ the circle would be complete…
Oh my goodness this is so great! I am in love with the office and never noticed their cover looked so much like that pointillism painting! Thanks for making my day!
Star Wars is as epic as those paintings! Thanks!
Those. Are. AMAZING.
It’s just awesome! I love the Darth Vader one, especially because I have just seen a steam punk version of the painting and it’s just fun to compare them. Mmmm… might be a good idea for a post

Epic!
Great – Just set up my account and you are the second blog that I looked at. Really Fun to see StarWars go Classic.
Fun stuff.

That one with Palpatine (the name of the painting escapes me) is proper creepy! I also now want a mini AT-AT. Nice post!
This made my day! Awesome
Hilarious, although the one with the emperor and the children is a little creepy. Congrats on FP!
That was great! I wonder what the original artists would think…I guess they wouldn’t get it, hehe
Fantastic!! Too dang funny! Thanks for sharing.
Nice
Lovely! I love reinterpretations of art with contemporary elements. brilliant!
May the Fourth be With You!
We have a picture of Boba Fett hanging at the front of our office and the rule is that everyone has to kiss their hand to his face before entering and leaving the office!
“May the fourth be with you!”
Love it!!! Sharing w/all. Just great.
Fantastic!
