The Vader Project - Artists versus Nerds

13 Japanese artists (UPDATE - and others, totaling 100 artists) got together to create this showcase of art versus geek culture. Darth Vader helmets served as blank canvases for the artist to express themselves... some of them stuck to the standard design of the helmet and worked some graphic design goodness, while others modified it and got really crazy. If anyone out there knows more about the specific artists involved, please let us know via a comment! (UPDATE via a mystery commenter - Info on all the artists can be found at the Vader Project site, and links to the individual artists are below)
