Don't artists paint on leather jackets anymore?

[JayKeeley]

Back in the 80's, this was a big deal. You could go to Carnaby Street market and look at all the fantastic artwork on the back of biker leather jackets, usually hanging on the wall.

Most of the art was copied from album covers, e.g. Sepultura's "Arise", Megadeth's "Peace Sells" etc.

Does anyone see this kind of stuff or has it become a lost artform?

It's still done.

Joel Grind has In The Sign Of Evil on his, but I can't find a picture of it.

 

[Krilons Resa]

Thats awesome.

 

[JayKeeley]

Can you get that sort of thing on-line?

 

[MajestikMøøse]

didn't you make a thread like this a year or two back?

 

[JayKeeley]

maybe....I'll paypal you 200 rupees to bump it.

I used to do these for beer money
started by painting peoples schoolbags
wish I had photos of some of them, the best I think I did were manowars hail to england in oil paint, the original looked like felt tip..
and I did the cover of the evil dead video on one, that looked fucking cool

you can't really charge enough to cover the hours though
not for a really top notch job, but some people do it as a hobby

It's on his myspace in his "Influences" section, but it's not loading up right now.

I thought about having this done but when I asked a friend who paints and stuff he said it would probably come off pretty easily. Looks amazing though.

I'll have someone paint the actual artwork off DMDS but not the logo on mine some day. It shall rule and be very heterosexual despite being purple.

 

[Impudent]

Purple can be sinister, if used right.

Obviously, just look at the album cover in question

Doesn't own that any more, he sold it on t3h ebayzzz.

 

[Impudent]

Seriously? That's kind of dumb. He seemed really proud of that jacket.

 

[KILL TULLY]

I guess. I think he just needed the money. I havn't seen him in a while, hes always with his girlfriend.

 

[Impudent]

I don't know how the fuck he survives anyway. He's always on tour.

 

[skeptik]

He lives on the road practically, from what I understand, just crashing with bands/fans a lot.

CRUST

No he doesn't, he lives down the street from me in his girlfriends moms house.
