911 Theme Helmet
by Don Johnson
Airbrush Artist
I was commissioned about 10 days before Christmas to do a 911 theme helmet for Bernard Kerik, NYPD Police Commissioner at the time the attack took place. Not much time to put something together like this but it sounded like an interesting project so I dove in head first. Didn't hurt either that he offered to sent full payment with the helmet, generally I only get a 50% deposit to start.
Please keep in mind many of the techniques I use in this project I learned while airbrushing T Shirts, bikes and even illustrations over the years. You should be able to apply them as well to your own projects no matter what the painting surface is.
Material used:
House of Kolor base coats and clear coat
Iwata HP-CS, Micron B
Sata Mini Jet for clear coating
roll of transfer tape
Bristol
