The Vader Project

[tikistitch]

Finally getting up some images of The Vader Project, one of the most awesome kewl sights at Celebration IV. Though tiki barely emerged from Room 511, we actually attended the Vader Helmet exhibit twice.

Our C IV photo set is here, and Darth Vader and all the other Vaders are towards the bottom-ish.

Here's more info from Starwars.com. Dov Kelemer, who put the show together, is an old friend. Plus, we actually know one of the artists, Wade Lageose, who did the creeptastic Statue of Liberty Vader. We actually buttonholed him at an event to get the lowdown--evidently, Master Replicas sent everybody Vader helmets pulled minty fresh from the molds. Though, when we tried to pin him down regarding his artistic vision ("The Statue of Liberty is now Darth Vader? We're well and truly fucked, right???") he got all coy and artist-y.

Our friend Curt, who we attended a session with, has a pretty damn awesome Flickr photo set of the piece.

One of my teachers did a Vader helmet. I actually found it to be the least appealing...it's the one with the floating heads.

The Amanda Vissel one rocks.
