alex pardee @ the vader project
peep this Alex Pardee Vader-custom:
"Everyone my age is a StarWars nut. Even if you are closeted about it. Star Wars is our Harry Potter. So I was excited as shit in a dynamite barrel when i was asked to participate in this project ... the coolest thing about the helmets? They were all made from the original mold and they are WAY bigger than i imagined. David Prowse has a huge dome." [via]
- who is Alex Pardee
- what is The Vader Project
Alex Pardee’s unique style is one conceived through watching years of horror movies, writing graffiti, and listening to gangster rap. His work best represents that of a circus sideshow cemetery. Final pieces are often brought to life by translating random shapes and colors into signs of torment and absurdity. By juxtaposing these two conflicting moods, Alex makes his works more personal to his viewers, forcing them to project their own feelings and emotions onto each character in his twisted universe ... In addition to demeaning celebrities, Alex continues to use his art as a means of self-medication, creating emotionally charged images on canvases, sketchbooks, and any other surfaces he can cover with his bizarre characters.
