HAND PAINTED LEATHER JACKETS
JACKET COMMISSIONS
Bring a favorite jacket, new or old.
(Some old jackets have wonderful character and fond associations.) Age doesn't matter; my painting can look worn or new.
The painting becomes part of the jacket, soaking into the leather like a tattoo. As part of the leather, it does not crack or peel, and
can last a lifetime and beyond.
The painting can feature my unique designs, as shown below. Or it can be any non-copyrighted logo or picture you wish, as long as I like
it enough to devote the hours making it live on the jacket.
Pricing for artwork
varies according to detail.
JACKET SAMPLER
THE CAFE RACER
The client liked to zip from cafe to cafe, having an espresso here, a biscotto there, a vaga fanciulla elsewhere - perhaps in his
dreams. We concocted this painting, "Bottoms Up", showing his dream-girl counterpart, vaulting onto the seat of her cafe racer motorcycle. It must have
been a big hit. The jacket was stolen!
THE HARLEY
I liked the "Cafe Racer" jacket so much I painted "Bottoms Up" again on another jacket, but with blond hair
and a more recognizable Harley. After ten years this jacket is still going strong.
Painting in progress:
Chromatic essences shown gradually coalescing into something beautiful.
This painting on your jacket = $650 - $895
THE VINTAGEThis beloved old jacket had a distressed finish that had become as soft as suede. It was peeled up in places, beyond repair.
Good. Sewed on a leather patch painted with Naga and Garuda battling it out. Affixed brass studs. To capitalize on the newly garnered
compliments, I added my advertisement direct on the old leather. The paint soaked in like dye and looks like it has been there forever.
Naga and Garuda on your jacket = $475 - $600.
