Canadian illustrator Chris McVeigh spent four years trying to capture the chipmunks in his parents’ backyard in the perfect position. Using almonds to attract the wild, inquisitive creatures, he sometimes who waits for up to eight hours per day to photograph them interacting with the Star Wars scenes that he has set up in the garden. McVeigh mentions that some of the more social chipmunks would come to the yard when he whistled for them. It’s altogether quite cute. Have a look at his set of Crossover images after the jump.
