I have a really hard time bringing myself to call a show of customized Darth Vader helmets "art." But my nostalgic side persuaded me to check out the final auction of The Vader Project anyway. Among the music related artists I was surprised to see participating...

• Estevan Orioi - Best known for his album covers for artists ranging from Snoop Dogg to Cypress Hill.
• The Melvins -  who killed it at their 2008 Amoeba Music Hollywood instore.
• Frank Kozik - The 90s famed poster artist and occasional album jacket whiz.
• Derek Hess - Indie/Hardcore concert poster and album cover artist.
