"I’m constantly looking for new ways to use old materials, showcasing them in a new light that is of interest to me," reads a blog post on Dishaw's website.
Kylo Ren and Darth Vader feature pretty heavily in Dishaw's sculptures, suggesting he could very well favour the Dark Side.
The Vader sculptures kind of look like the Sith Lord has developed a penchant for fine leather goods. Good for you, Darth.

These sculptures don't come cheap, though. One of these bad boys will set you back upwards of $2,500 (£1,873), so you'd best start saving your pennies now.
May the high fashion be with you.
