I am not a Star Wars geek, however, I know and love a few. Recently I was keeping an eye on the "Vader Project" exhibited last week as a part of Celebration IV in Los Angeles, was sponsored in part by one such geek/friend/person (Dov Kelemer). Dov's fledgling company specializing in distributing what I can only assume is a new category of art objects of all types that are mostly manufactured and packaged with exquisite attention to detail. "Hip," "trendy", "pop," hell the stuff is not only cool but great art and it is great to see his company positively blowing up. I was out of state but kept an eye on the "Celebration" event via the Internet. One "Darth Vader" in particular stopped me in my tracks - the Statue of Liberty Darth Vader. It gave me a bit of a chill and hit me on so many levels. Then I was thrilled to find out that it had been created by another acquaintance, Wade Lageose. I mention this as I have seen that most of the coverage was merely photos unaccompanied by credits. Credit is due here and kudos to Wade! He is an amazing artist.
