    Star Wars Celebration IV
    Los Angeles Convention Center

    The Vader Project, a reimagining of the iconic Darth Vader helmet by some of today's hottest pop and underground artists, will have its World Premiere at Star Wars Celebration IV, a landmark event to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars . Curator Dov Kelemer of DKE Toys gathered 75 of the hottest underground and pop surrealist painters, artists and designers to participate. Each artist was given a Master Replicas 1:1 scale prop replica of the actual 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. See Winston's Vader.
