Here is a jacket I painted recently, the design is inspired from WWII nose art and those old bulldog tattoos. I keep the colors toned down and gave it a aged matte clear coat and look forward to seeing it after some use when the cracks set in…dscf2884

Trigger Happy

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Here is my latest Nose Art style jacket. the pin-up is inspired from a found image from WW2 jacket and a similar from a WW2 planes nose art. The machine gun and lettering I came up with myself. The letterstyle used is my own script but it is modified to resemble a 1930’s speedball text called “personality script”
As usual the fades are all brush blended wet-to-wet rather then airbrushed for durabilities sake.
