SAD VADER IS ART

When we ran Alex Brown’s photo of that kid sitting in McDonald’s wearing a slightly-too-large Darth Vader mask on the magazine’s TOC three years ago, we had no idea it would go so far around the internet that our own mothers would be emailing it to us at work. And now it’s been so thoroughly internetted that it’s gone full-circle and become a fancy art print.

We look forward to watching it pass through the next few stages of cultural relevance in the coming years from museum-gift-shop coffee mug to ubiquitous college dormroom poster all the way to license plate. Godspeed, Sad Vader.
