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…

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.
