Description
Me in 1992. A self portrait taken for a college photography class in Jamie The Canadian's basement.With my leather on. Now you can see why I was called "patchwork" or "patch". The Exploited patch was put over where the same hand painted logo was. It took me days to paint the original logo on the leather and just a few hours for it to rub off at a concert by, you guessed it, The Exploited! I was so mad, I should have used leather paint instead of acrylics, I learned as you can see by the "FTW". The plaid was from one of Jamie's shirts some girl ripped off of him, it fit nicely over my leather jacket sleeve! The chain maille is #8 lockwashers in a simple Oriental weave. Buttons, patches, spikes, and plaid. You should have seen it a year later, it had a black shoulder pad on one of the shoulders.
Do not judge me for the upside down flag. We were trying to find our way in this world. An upside down flag means distress. If there ever was a time to fly the flag in distress mode it is now. I love this country, I hate the direction it is going!!!!!

Make sure you note me whan you finish your jacket! It took years to perfect mine. The studs and spikes I got from a Tandy Leather store, we had one in the town I grew up in. But they are online at [link] . I still get stuff from there for my art. They have the pryamid studs [link] and dog collar spikes [link] as well as all kinds of cool stuff like leather paint. I suggest asking for a cataloge, there is more in it than online.
