Helmet Paint Job iBook Mod

Posted by pudge on from the looks-faster-than-it-runs dept.

joesao writes "Remember that beautiful red iBook from a while back? So Pbsource has a post about a guy who hired a French helmet painter to scrape the lid of his iBook and turn into this. I wish somebody would start doing art replicas. Van Gogh, anyone?"

    Now that somebody figured out how to paint the lid of an iBook, we're going to be assulted with Slashdot stories on all types of Lidart:

    Including Pinup/Nose Art, Graffiti-inspired Art, and even 70s Van Airbrush-inspired art.

    Here's a thought... Somebody draw the daVinci of the naked guy and put the apple over the naughty bits.

    Ulp. I guess the same thing could be done with Mr. Goatse.

    Idea withdrawn...

    It was covered at /. so long ago, it's probably a rerun instead of a dupe.

    Umm, is something lost in the translation or is 'Helmet Painter' really a profession in France?

    Most requested Helmet themes:
    Welcome Germans!
    I *heart* cheese [or mimes or Jerry Lewis]
    Does this scarf make me look gay? good.

      Yes. And in German, it's someone's name.

    That's the difference between Mac geeks and non-Mac geeks.

    Mac geeks have girlfriends.

    Remember folks, if your girlfriend smokes after sex, slow down or use a lubricant.
