Jacket
for Rikke - one of a kind hand painted jacket.
Rikke was in the town where I live as a foreign exchange student from
Denmark. She stumbled into my gallery at some point and asked if I would
paint a jacket of hers. The jacket she brought in was one of her most
prized possessions. She had been wearing it since junior high school
and loved it dearly. Knowing this made the expectations for me higher,
but she said to do whatever I wanted. It's nice to have complete
freedom on these kinds of projects. I decided to go with a female character
and when I finished I thought it needed a little more, so i added some
wavy line design thing on the sleeve. She came back to the gallery and
picked it up a day before she had to fly back to Denmark. About a month
after she made it home some asshole thought it would be cool to steal
her jacket. So, if you're in Denmark and see somebody wearing this beat
their ass for me and steal it back. Then let me know and I'll get in
touch with Rikke so it can be returned to the rightful owner.
