This brilliant MOC by dviddy is a modern day spin of the classic Headless Horseman. That is if the horseman was a hipster on a fixie bike wearing a totally cool retro jacket.

I’m not going to make this post about how this isn’t Frankenstein, that’s the doctor, it’s his monster. I’m also not going to insist his name is actually Adam, that’s not technically correct either.
