Showing at the Warhol Museum : March 1, 2009
Yep - I got's me a hunk of art in a museum.
The Vader Project is being showcased at the Warhol through May 3rd.
The Vader project has grown quite abit from the original 66 artists - It now sports 100 contributors. If you're in Pittsburgh swing by and check it out.

This exhibition includes 100 works by contemporary international artists utilizing 1:1 scale authentic prop replicas of the Darth Vader helmet used in the Star Wars films. Each helmet was a blank canvas for the artist to paint, design, and customize. These iconic helmets of the notorious movie villain were created by some of the biggest names in today’s pop surrealist and underground art scene including Shag, Peter Kuper, Attaboy, Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup, Dalek, Paul Frank, Ron English, Jeff Soto, Frank Kozik, Wade Lageose, Joe Ledbetter, Alex Pardee, Suckadelic, Cameron Tiede, Michelle Valigura, Sunich, Mister Cartoon, Marc Ecko, Amanda Visell, and many more.
