The Vader Project

One of the busiest attractions over the weekend was The Vader Project.  Master Replicas provided a number of artists with 1:1 replicas of Darth Vader's helmet and asked them to turn them into works of art.

Some chose to paint slogans or characters from the Star Wars films on them while others created more radical designs including one helmet that looked like the Statue of Liberty.  Some made Vader's helmet look even more industrial by adding rivets and rust and some turned the helmets into peace symbols covered in flowers or pin-up girls.

My favorite was by Suckadelic.  He turned his helmet into Luke's home on Tatooine, complete with Luke, Jawas, droids, moisture vaporators and even a certain boom-box carrying Bounty Hunter.
