Rarely do I come across something so very awesome. I mean, much of what’s in my “Things that are AWESOME” series is awesome, but this must be the most awesome-est of all. A daft punk helmet made from scratch. Made by Harrison Krix. It took seventeen months to build, with lots of prototyping and experimentation. [...]
Ok, so the blogosphere was collectively squealing itself over this video weeks ago, so I’m surprised (and a little disappointed) if you haven’t already seen this. Watch it now to redeem yourself.
