Bell race helmet designed and painted for Derek Grover by Don Johnson. Here is what Derek had to say
“A few years ago I commissioned Don to do a custom airbrush job on my new helmet for the 2009 IMSA racing season. My request, which I thought was a near impossible task, was to recreate the 1973 Emerson, Lake & Palmer album cover of H.R. Giger’s “monochromatic biomechanical industrial mechanism with a human skull, Brain Salad Surgery”. H.R. Giger, the concept artist of the creature “Alien” created this cover art for the 1973 release of the now infamous ELP album cover. I was so impressed with the artwork that Don created on my IMSA helmet that I only used it during one race and retired it to my trophy case in fear of ruining it with use. It now sits like a masterpiece of 21st Century Motorsports Art in my home. Derek M. Grover Cinematographer / Ex-Race

I designed and painted this helmet with sort of a tag art theme complete with some dripping paint as part of the helmet design. This race helmet was very challenging to design and paint but was a lot of fun to paint something out of the norm.
Bell race helmet with an original helmet design I came up with. Some times keeping race helmet design’s simple using just a few colors works out best as it did with this design. Simple black and white design with just a few stripes leaves the main focus on the lettering Racing is Life which is exactly what this design was intended to do.
HELMET PAINTING DESIGN
I designed and painted this G-Force race helmet for Cody who race’s a modified. The black sections of the helmet is flat finish, the blue sections are gloss finish and the white designs are blue glow in the dark paint. As with all my helmets the surface of the helmet is smooth you can not feel the graphics. White trim replaced the stock black rubber trim to really set the helmet off.
