Darth Vader Chalkboard Art
As a kid, I dreamed of working at ILM (Industrial Light & Magic). Although that didn't happen, I thought I'd share a little of the joy of creativity today.
My drawing is replicated from the final design for Darth Vader's helmet. No credit for the artist is given. But the original photo is on page 31 from the book Industrial Light & Magic by Thomas G. Smith (1986).
