I'm no Star Wars geek and will never understand why people go gaga over it, but Darth Vader has been a universally cool and badass character. The Vader Project is a great collection of 100 stylized Darth Vader helmets created from various artists. It has toured the whole and will come to an end where each will be auctioned off in Philadelphia.
This is what was said from the website:
"To view the complete catalog online go to: http://issuu.com/freemansauction/docs/1375
Curated and produced by Dov Kelemer and Sarah Jo Marks of DKE Toys (www.dketoys.com),
The Vader Project features 100 of the best underground artists and designers working today. “From a simple idea in 2005 to a record-setting exhibition in 2009, it’s time for our child to venture forth into the world,” Kelemer and Marks said. “We are pleased to have partnered with Freeman’s to make these fine pieces of art available to the public for the first time.”

This particular is my personal favorite with the use of the army helmet and the skull to show the destruction that Darth Vader brings. It's overall a cool and eery piece of art.
