The Workshop

Introducing the final helmet in our City Helmet Series, collaboration with the artists of ARTCRANK. Each helmet is a one-of-kind, hand-painted design created exclusively for The Bike Design Project.

THE ARTIST: JUSTIN NOTTKE
CHI-based Justin Nottke is a designer, illustrator, screen printer, videographer, and proud mustache supporter from the Midwest. When he’s not working as a graphic designer for an event production company, Justin takes on as many freelance projects as possible. For the most part, projects involve work with musicians; including video, graphic and web design.

THE INSPIRATION
“My approach was to keep the design simple, but reflect how popular bike riding is in Chicago. Since moving here in 2010, I constantly see a variety of people out and riding their bikes. So I wanted to embrace that the entire city of Chicago is riding. 312 is in constant motion.”

On July 25, we’ll raffle this helmet off at our CHI bike design reveal party (held at Minimal) to benefit our bike advocacy partner, Working Bikes.
