A ton of artists were asked to decorate Darth Vader masks for Celebration IV.
Here are some of my favorites (the complete collection is available on the "Official Star Wars Blog's photos" Flickr acct).
(PRNewswire) On Monday, October 16, fifty balloon artists from around the world will take over one wing of a shopping mall in Rochester, New York and create a ten-room, 10,000-square-foot, walk- through haunted house made entirely out of balloons – more than 100,000 of them – in just five days. The quick turnaround is due as much to the artists' availability – all of whom donate their time and efforts – as it is to the temporary nature of the medium. Every wall, every object, and every sc-airy creature in Return to Balloon Manor – including a five-room Dead and Breakfast and a Scary-Go-Round – will be constructed from balloons.

I was a fan of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth's work long before I knew the name Ed "Big Daddy Roth.
I'm not sure exactly when I first saw Rat Fink and his other monster finks. I do remember seeing t-shirt iron ons for sale at various stores when my family would visit Daytona when I was younger. The memory of seeing those creatures tied to the happiness of a family vacation may be what turned me on to his stuff.
A lot of times when I'm bored in a meeting, my doodles start turning into Big Daddy-esque finks. Actually I should rephrase- I'm bored in meetings period. I draw to make it look like I'm taking notes. I don't know if anyone really buys that, but I don't really care. I hate meetings.
This guy has a pretty big archive of Big Daddy Roth items- high res scans of many of them.

A friend of mine sent this video to me. Never heard of "Bedroom Scene" before this. I like video and song.
Classic tale of women getting revenge on a guy they all had a relationship with... by dropping a piano on his head.
The girl who is in the red dress is named Kiana and happens to be the main squeeze of one of my favorite artists, Roman Dirge. Kiana's art is pretty damned cool too.
