DARTH VADER HELMET CONTEST~FRANKENVADER BY DENISE VASQUEZ

Hi everyone

I was selected to be a part of a very special project, creating art which benefits two causes...

Over the past three months, 24 carefully-selected artists have created original art pieces using authentic replica Darth Vader helmets. In the spirit of the Vader Project by DKE Toys, each artist was given creative freedom to interpret the helmet as he or she saw fit. Currently, helmets are being examined by an internal panel of judges, and top artists will receive cash prizes. Soon, you will have the chance to own one of these great works of art. Each helmet will be available via auction, beginning February 7, 2012. Proceeds will benefit the Midwest Art Catalyst and the Miracle League of North Mankato.

For this project, I created my "FRANKENVADER" As I began thinking about all of my favorite monsters, the idea came to me right away! Darth Vader and Frankenstein was the perfect combination! I started by giving him a name “FRANKENVADER”. I incorporated some of Frankenstein’s life into my Vader Helmet and I incorporated Star Wars by including some Star Wars symbols! My FRANKENVADER glows in the dark, too! Watch the making of video here http://youtu.be/0IyvDiWTBqY

UPDATED: Top 10 moments in 2011...

As I sit here waiting to get started on my goals for 2012, I am overwhelmed with an air of excitement! I'm filled with feelings of pure joy while reflecting on how BEYOND INCREDIBLE 2011 was for me as an artist!

I started a tradition as a teenager, which has continued year after year into my adult years. Just before the new year, I make some time for myself, find a quiet place, sit down, relax, meditate, reflect, and make a list of my goals for the coming year. It truly is a lot of fun as well as rewarding to look back and see everything I've accomplished!

Writing down my goals gives me direction & helps me stay focused on what I want to accomplish!

Looking back on 2011, I can't help but smile! 2011 Was a FANTASTIC year for me & I am truly grateful!!! it was really hard narrowing down my top ten moments, but here are some of my favorites...
