Lance Armstrong Helmet
When the city of Sturgis, SD contacted me with the opportunity to custom paint a motorcycle helmet for Lance Armstrong, for the 2014 Rally, I jumped at the chance. Lance’s good friend, R. Scott Tedro gave me a few ideas for the artwork, and we ran with it. Incorporating his classic yellow color, Lance’s bicycle company logo Mellow Johnny’s, and his favorite state of Texas, along with a few of the Rally sponsors, the finished piece turned out very clean, and Lance said that he loved it. We also added in a mural of him crossing the Tour de France finishline, arms extended, putting out the celebratory 7 win fingers. Lance was the honorary Grand Marshall for the 2014 Mayor’s ride, so the City let me present the helmet to him to wear. Had such a great time meeting Lance and partying like a rockstar with old friends, Jason & Kendi Britton, Tony Carbajal, and Eric & Ben Bostrom as well.
