Lightsabers and Lollipops

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE JACKET.





this is the jean jacket i wore in high skool. i couldn't tell you if people admired it or made fun of it. probably both, depending on the audience. i gotta say i was pretty proud of my work. i bet it did provide a good distraction to the guy or girl who sat directly behind me in class. boring teacher? just feel free to study the handcrafted artwork dedicated to heavy metal Christian bands of the late 80's/ early 90's.




i did make 2 major mistakes on it. one i won't mention cuz i covered it up so well. but the second one is the band Scaterd Few, which you might be able to see where my correct spelling kicked in and i fixed it in the best and lamest possible way that one could with fabric paint.
other than the paint, which i had to squeeze out of a bottle and have the steady hand of a cake decorator, the rest of the art was done with red or black permanent marker. probably Sharpie, the preferred brand of permanent marker among so called artists like myself.

this is also what i did instead of dating girls apparently. i'm pretty sure one led to the defeat of the other.
or... let's face it. at the time, the girls who found this jacket attractive were just plain scary. nuff said.
