These are not the helmets you’re looking for. They’re 1:1 scale replicas. Painted. Tweaked. Chopped and screwed by artists like Shag, Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup, Dalek, Paul Frank, Ron English, Jeff Soto, Frank Kozik, Alex Pardee, Mister Cartoon, and more. Vinyl Pulse has the scoop and a fleet of pics.

Kickin’ it old timey inside the REBEL8 warehouse is Mike Giant. One of my favorite Graphic/Graffiti/Tattoo-artists out there.

So inspiring it hurts. There’s a Flickr group called Make Something Cool Every Day. Brock Davis, a GCD at Carmichael Lynch, has joined and exceeded the moniker exponentially.
Make Brock’s Make Something Cool Every Day part of your daily rounds.
Then go make something yourself, fer’chrissakes.
