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!

Closer look at design and tittles.

Heart Attack
Heart Attack is about wanting something so bad and not being able to get it, that it making your heart hurt so much that it feels like it will pop out of your chest. There by showing that you really have heart for the thing you long for the most.

Cruise Control
Cruise Control is that numbness that comes over you when your mind errors on overload of emotions and thought. Paralyzing every feeling and sense in you, turning you into a mindless zombie that is controlled by stupidity.

Printed with Black, Gold, Dark Metallic Silver and Silver inks.

Chase Down
Chase Down kinda tells that what ever feeling or thought you run from will hunt you down where ever you go unless you find peace with those feelings or thoughts. There is no sense in running from something that is still attached to you.
