Post helmet back from airbrushing!

Sent my helmet out for painting 5 weeks ago and it just came back. It is an OMP Toursimo sedan helmet.
Needless to say, the results exceeded any expectation I could have had.
Brad and the guys at Bullseye Visual are amazing.

Here are some pics:

Fantastic look! Gee, I wonder how much you have to pay for copyright rights to all those cartoons! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

Don,
Thanks for pointing that out to me. Being an engineer, I never think about this stuff;-)

I should have put something on the helmet like at the end of movies:
"The events/characters depicted on this helmet are fictional. Any resemblance to any cartoons, living or deceased, is purely coincidental"

Any lawyers on the board want to help me out of this?

There's no copyright infringement here, it's public domain material, and he's not selling for a profit, it's his own personal helmet. Now, the point could be made that the artist did a little infringing, but also not true. The artist charged a flat fee to paint the helmet, be it Ren and Stimpy, Coyote/RoadRunner, Stars and Bars, a Tampax ad or grey primer. Now, if he and the artist got together and started knocking these out in production and selling em at a profit, then you can be sure the lawyers at Warner Bros and Spumco would be hunting em down like the dogs they are.
