Art Wars
Ben Moore, artist and creative director of Art Below Ltd, takes us on a tour of his latest project Art Wars.
The name Art Wars is part inspired from the conflict and struggle for ownership over one of the biggest icons of modern culture - The StormTrooper. Art Wars teamed up with Andrew Ainsworth, the creator of the original storm trooper. Ainsworth recently fought and won a court case against LucasFilm over the ownership and copyright of the design, which is what allowed this project to be born really.
