Possessed Umpire Helmet (2009)

Throwback Thursday No.3

Baseball helmets

Back in the day I use to spend my summers airbrushing baseball helmets. The money was aight...i guess. I got a kick out of the parents getting irritated that the helmets where never "perfect" enough. Yet i knew exactly what was going to happen... first your kid immediately scratches it... somehow, then if they strike out they end up throwing it on the ground further damaging the paint, then ultimately their heads get to big to fit the helmet. So after a while i only did helmets for people who would appreciate them enough to hardly ever wear them.

The lessons never stop...

I'm out! Keep it Vintage.
