Hey Lil, why so blue?

These hilarious pics are the work of visual wiz Robert Paulson who’s given eighteen stars, including Lily Allen, Susan Boyle and Gordon Ramsay, an Avatar makeover.

And I don’t know about you, but I think Amy Winehouse looks pretty good as a Na’vi – the blue skin is a big improvement on the sallow complexion and scabby skin she was sporting at the height of her ‘troubles’ anyway!

Robert, 22, is a student in San Francisco who started the project after seeing the sci-fi smash, and each picture takes around two hours to complete.

He said: “I can never get the look of the yellow eyes, with their hypnotic irises and pupils and the Na’vi’s glowing dots to my satisfaction – yet. I must have spent over 200 hours on this project so far. But jokes aside, it has given me a huge appreciation of the skill and detail and genius of James Cameron and his team on a technical level.”

Robert says he’s just finished college and is now looking for a job. Maybe Jim can find him a spot on Avatar 2. You never know Robert… You never know!
