Our favourite Dark Lord has been given a makeover recently by some inventive, ingenious and outright imaginative artists.
The Vader Project is presented by Master Replicas, and curated by Dov Kelemer of DKE Toys, one of the largest designer vinyl and art-toy distributors in the world, exclusively representing over 50 companies, artists, and designers. Kelemer gathered the hottest underground and pop surrealist painters, artists and designers and gave each artist a Master Replicas 1:1 scale prop replica of the Darth Vader helmet used in the Star Wars films. Each helmet served as a blank canvas for each artist to paint, design, mash up and customize in their own unique style.

The event ran from May 24 to 28th, 2007 at Star Wars Celebration IV , a landmark event being held at the Los Angeles Convention Center to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars. From what I've seen in these pictures from Metroblogging: Los Angeles contributer David Markland, the creativity knows no boundaries whatsoever.
Check out the pictures David collected. Some are just simply amazing and no amount of praise can do them justice.
