Because I love a good project.

Angelus leather paint on a thrifted leather jacket, about as anatomically accurate as I could get it.

I turn 40 very soon, and I thought it was high time that I put together a jacket featuring every band I've loved or seen live in my 27 years on the scene. Some of the patches are homemade, acrylic paint on denim I salvaged from the sleeves, where bands either didn't have patches available or were prohibitively expensive. More images of back and sides below.

This is my bestie playing guitar in my house 25 years ago — she turns 40 soon and recently started playing guitar again to help cope with the loss of her mother. I’d love to get her a good copy of this photo, just to remind her how far she’s come, but she’s still kinda insecure about her ears — could someone please move her hair to cover her ears and maybe straighten her bangs out a little? No AI please, she’d never forgive me. Thank you so much!

I’ll probably delete this once it’s done, just for privacy’s sake. Please don’t be offended when I do.
