Rocking The Vader Project

I was recently asked to custom a Darth Vader helmet for a project presented by DKE Toys and Masters Replica. The Vader Project features 75 1:1 scale Darth Vader helmets customized by a who's who of lowbrow, graffiti, and designer toy artists from around the globe. The touring show had its debut at Star Wars Celebration IV held from May 24th till the 28th at the Los Angeles Convention Center. This show is now traveling over Europe.

My contribution to The Vader Project is called "Scarred Mind" and is my way of saying everybody has a bit of Vader inside, scarred by the past cutting away on the inside. Every one of us having our own special way of "not showing it" to the outside. But god do you wish you could just rip it out so it would escape you and never come back. Either that or......JOIN THE DARKSIDE!
