Motorcycle Jacket






2009. Mixed media (leather, graphite, paper, acrylic) on canvas. 16" x 20".

This piece was probably the most fun to do so far. First, I drew the guy's face, neck and shirt, this took about 2 days...not full days. Next, I used a full size leather jacket that I cut into pieces to use for the construction of this smaller jacket. I then painted the canvas creating a backdrop for the collage. I think the whole thing took about a week to finish.
