HOW HELMART STARTED
I'm Tyler Richardson, a 32-year-old artist from New Zealand with a motorsport background starting in go-karts at 8 years old. My journey into founding Helmart began when I received a plain white helmet for my birthday, sparking my interest in designing and being an artist.
The Helmart brand was then born from that passion at age 12 where I moved to doing friend’s helmets every week after school before a race weekend, and now 20 years on, I have further honed that love for what I am so lucky to do - continuing to craft unique, detailed artworks for the motorsport world, iconic brands and beyond.
My goal is to provide clients with one-of-a-kind pieces, whether for racing on global circuits at the highest levels of motorsport, karting, or for display as an awesome piece of custom hand made artwork.
“Because it’s the small details that matter, going the extra mile to achieve something unique.”
MOVING FORWARD
Every year with Helmart I get to meet so many awesome new clients from around the world, who entrust me with creating something extra special and unique - making them a truly one off piece of artwork is beyond rewarding.
Moving into the future of Helmart I am excited to continue to share extra special projects and highly detailed pieces of work I have created, whether that be the 60th Anniversario Lamborghini helmet or my current long term project of fully custom painting a one-off full sized replica F1 car.
