James Haggerty Creates Awesome Star Wars Staple Art Using Over 77,000 Office Staples

 

When his wife became pregnant, eco-conscious artist James Haggerty gave up his etching needle and brushes to work with office staples. Worrying about the toxic effects of traditional art materials on the baby, he moved into whole new artistic area altogether. His staple mosaics can take 6 months to create and just one of his many Star Wars-themed creations consisted of over 77,000 staples altogether! A lifetime Star Wars fan, Haggerty said to Boredpanda…

"The choice of subject matter goes back to my childhood and my continued affinity of the Star Wars universe. I was hooked after the first few minutes of the first movie; it captured my imagination and has continued to live on."
