Mexican street artist paints eerie enormous Seahawks helmet

As part of the promotion for tonight’s Monday Night Football matchup between the Houston Texans and Oakland Raiders in Mexico DF (Mexico City), the NFL put on an exhibition of helmets for all 32 of its teams redesigned by local street artists.

The helmets are handpainted on enormous sculptures in a tourist park in the city called Paseo Reforma. Each independent design is interpretive and most bear no resemblance or reference to the franchise’s existing logo or brand identity. But some of them are quite beautiful.

This L.A. Rams rendition reminds me of the ancient rock paintings known for their recurring shamanic forms and bighorn sheep near China Lake, California.
