A Broken Brains product elevates the wearer to becoming part of the art spectacle, and reactive to the environment with elements such as UV paint.

5 out of 5 starsThey're completely and utterly mental (in a good way haha). I wore them to a Hippy Dippy Festival in the U.K, where everyone was dressed up in Tye dye and Pikachu outfits, and I had loads of people queuing up to take a look in awe at these Masterpieces.
About
Broken Brains in my apartment
I started out in 2006 making stuff in my apartment in NH. I would do most of the work upstairs in the apartment, but I had my own storage section in the basement which I was able to use for painting my products. As I progressed, I had decided that I wanted to paint my gas masks and respirators. This proved to be the hardest thing to accomplish. I tried over and over again to paint a gas mask without the paint cracking, flaking, or falling off. I just kept experimenting with different spray paints. Once I finally found the right paint, I needed to figure out how to get the colors I wanted. More experimentation... more failure. Finally I found a way that worked. I was able to get the paint to stick and paint almost any color I wanted, including crackle coats on rubber. It is a complicated process which involves overlapping paints at the right times, heat and humidity play a big part in this process.
I have since relocated just outside of Boston, MA. I am currently working out of my apartment in which I have a painting booth set up in the basement once again.
