Calling all fans of design, art and most importantly Star Wars – you’re going to love this.
The Vader Project is a re-imagining of the iconic Darth Vader helmet, painted & illustrated by 100 of the world’s leading pop culture artists, showcased through 8 exhibitions, toured across 3 countries and finally captured in 1 beautiful full-colour catalog.
It’s the brainchild of Dov Kelemer and Sarah Jo Marks of DKE Toys (one of the largest designer vinyl and art-toy distributors in the world). Each independent artist was given a replica blank vinyl Darth Vader helmet to customize and illustrate as they wished.
We’ve picked out a few of our favourites from the series.
Artists involved with the project include:
