Squindo - AMAZING artist that has his own unique style..... when he agreed to help out with our show I was VERY happy. When I saw the contribution to the art show -I was even happier! You can see a LOT of his work on the site http://www.squindo.net/ You may have seen some of his work on here from time to time and on some of the merch for a group called Metallica - they are kinda obscure so you may not have heard of them.....ha Go check out his art at the site. While you are there - go buy some prints or some original art or shirt or something....you can have him do art for your event or whatever. Squindo is truly talented and we thank him for helping out the cause!
INFO ABOUT THE AUCTION: Not sure the HAMB knows what we put together for the Vintage Torque Fest. Jimmy Flintstone contributed helmets to the art show and these were sent out to the artists that agreed to help out back in October. The artists were asked to contribute whatever concept they wanted to the helmets. Almost all of the artists have agreed to contribute the proceeds from the auction to www.helpinghannahsheart.org This is a medical expense trust set up to help pay the many medical expenses that have ac***ulated over the past 4 years. For those that dont know, our baby has had different procedures throughout her 4 year life including open heart surgery. She will have to have more open heart surgery again in about 5 years. The doctors have to be paid in order to keep on doing more surgery. I will get more details as people want to know them. Visit www.helpinghannahsheart.org for details on what she has gone through. These helmets are a direct cast off an original German M40 WWII helmet and will fit with the proper lining installed. These helmets are NOT DOT approved so dont think you can wear this out on the street with your motorcycle. These helmets cost $40 with nothing on them - just the normal resin. Add the cost of the time and energy and paint that was contributed by each artist and you see that the helmets SHOULD go for over $100. The helmets that were auctioned off at the show went for about $150 - $200. But we did not have enough time to auction off ALL the helmets....so Ryan has agreed to auction them here on the HAMB and he has been very gracious in stating that 100% of the proceeds will go directly to www.helpinghannahsheart.org Thanks for looking and we hope that you will continue to support the cause. <!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
