Spock of Star Trek fame is best known for his iconic appearance, but when you take the Vulcan and dress him up as other pop culture staples, you get a hilarious collection of images that is 'Many Faces of Spock.' Feast your eyes on pictures of Spock dressed as Magnum P.I., Che Guevara, David Bowie, Salvador Dali, Princess Leia and even a Na’vi from James Cameron’s Avatar. I’ve only scratched the surface of these masquerading Spock illustrations as there are 30 in total.
The 'Many Faces of Spock' series can be found in its entirety on the Raz City Flickr account. The description of the project explains that it’s a loving homage to their favorite sci-fi character. The possibilities for expanding the collection seems endless to me.
