Some Graphics I Designed

Hey folks,

I was reading the evolution of Husky thread and saw someone's red and blue Husky, and it reminded me of the submission I entered into the PULPMX Tech1 graphics contest.

All I got was honorable mention, and I believe the winner, while good, wasn't the best.

Please tell me what you think.

I didn't have much time to work on them... I was in training to get a type rating on my first jet aircraft, and had to work only after I'd finished studying for the night.
If you're able to zoom in, the black lines are airbrushed.

Thanks Bteam...

Hey I have a question for you...

I always here references about David Bailey painting helmets and designing things... was he a trained artist? And do you have any photos of some helmets that he painted?

David wasn't trained, but he was/is really talented. His work for JT after his injury was really good, including redevelopment of not just graphic elements, but the physical design and manufacturing of product.

When he started doing helmets, it was really early on. Just after Troy started blowing up. While the helmets being done at that time were way less intricate than what we see today, they were still really well done, and unlike anything else that you would see from a manufacturer.

To illustrate my stupidity, in 1991 I had David paint me a JT ALS-2 helmet when I was deep into racing stand up Jet Skis. He painted me an ultra trick piece of art that I wore for two seasons before it basically fell apart (salt water + foam= not good). I kept the helmet for a couple of years on a shelf in my garage until I just got tired of it taking up space. In a moment of insanity, I threw it in the trash during a major clean up.

Now I think about that helmet all the time, and what a dumb ass I am.

Nice graphics, but personally I would never use them. Since anybody can get whatever they want these days, it's hard to make graphics that appeal to lots of people.

Here's my unfinished ones for next year. I like 'em but most others probably don't.

Well since I'm not tryin to sell em that's fine by me.
I hadn't thought about them in a year since the contest and was curious to see what people thought about them, not to solicit opinions on whether or not they'd run them.
