5 Artists Design Helmets For Pirates Design

Thanks to Dalzin.com via freshbump, I discovered this new wonderful line of artist designed helmets named Pirates Design. Olivier Maucorps, a motorcycle enthusiast, decided to start a new line of creative helmets with illustrator FAKIR, who designed one of the helmets as well as the company's logo. They then enlisted four other artists to design the following helmets:

Street artist and director Banksy continues to show his love for Homer, Marge, Bart and Lisa by storyboarding and directing the 1:44 second opening sequence for Fox's The Simpsons October 10th episode "MoneyBart." In case you missed it, below is the opening, in which lies a nod to his film Exit Through the Gift Shop. Courtesy of Banksy films.

20th Century Fox has removed the video, so for the next 55 days, here's the only place you can see it.



Banksy previously paid homage to The Simpsons in this New Orleans wall mural:
