American Football As Seen By Photographer Elvis di Fazio

A little Terry Richardson, a little Marc Van Dalen and a little vintage Helmut Newton, Elvis di Fazio's photography style is sexy and raw. Combining a little smut with a lot of beauty, he describes his own work as Kitsch Erotic.

In addition to blinging out animal and human skulls, artist Quinn Gregory of Chicago also takes authentic Riddell Proline Football Helmets (as worn by NFL players) and hand-applies over 12,500 Swarovski crystals to them.

The process takes 3 weeks to complete and the finished helmet is a truly stunning conversation piece that any football fanatic - or player- would cherish in their home or office.

Kansas City Chiefs Helmet:

Quinn was commissioned to create one of these beautiful brain buckets for Dallas Cowboy owner Jerry Jones. The helmet is to be auctioned off at the Team's annual charity event.
