Riddokun, you bring up an interesting point. I have been questioned "why the focus on celebrities?". Certainly there is just as much interest in cloning regular, non-famous people. And this art theory and technique applies equally to celeb and non-celeb, it is a universal art form that I think will become more understood and accepted as time goes on. The reason for using celebrities is effectiveness and convenience. Celeb clones are effective because they are universally recognizable. I can clone my 6th grade math teacher, but chances are, you'll have no idea who the hell I'm talking about. They are convenient because of the wealth of source material, the only other option would be to do a photoshoot or 3D scan of a person. I'm guessing we don't have the resources or opportunity to do that so we're stuck with celebs for now. But I def want this to be a discipline that is well understood and universally applied to all subjects.
