Custom Portrait Leather Memorial Jacket

This jacket was commissioned by a client to memorialize her brother and father. She ordered a black and yellow jacket which was really fun to figure out how best to utilize the colors. She did not have an image with all of them together, so I had to find a way to splice all 3 separate people together. First I made a digital design so I could see how I could naturally put the people. She also wanted sports logos added to each of their shirts and those colors added to the background. The jacket was then hand painted with Angelus Leather paint and sprayed with a sealant.

Close-Up Portrait Jacket

This was a jacket commissioned for a client to honor his friend. He didn't have many high resolution photos of him so I went into it knowing there may be a challenge to getting the portrait just right. Thankfully it came out looking just like him and the client was happy! This was painted with acrylic paints mixed with fabric medium and sprayed with a sealant.

Custom Portrait Memorial Jacket

This jacket was commissioned by a client for her aunt as a way to honor her son and nephew. This was another situation where they didn't have a photo of the three of them so I had to find a way to add the three separate portraits together naturally.

Painted Shoes

Custom Anime Shoes 1

These shoes were created for a client as a birthday gift for her daughter. She had two specific images that involved a mixture of many anime characters. These were one of the most challenfing yet extremely rewarding shoes I've painted due to the level of detail needed to complete them. The client and her daughter loved them which was the ultimate reward! I used Angelus Leather paint and a very tiny paint brush, along with spraying a sealant on them afterwards.
