Good work, Leather aint always the easiest surface to paint on. What kind of prep are you doing to it before airbrushing? Ive always charged 2-3x as much to do anything on leather or black t's simply because you have to do it twice.

Thanks for the comments guys...
Always clean the leather before painting it use meths.
I always use Acrylic artists paint as it 'flexs' with the leather.
I used to advertise in the NMA fanzine and flyer the gigs - hence all the NMA jackets. They are a mighty fine band !
The full album designs I used to charge apporx £50 - £60 to do these - about 30 hours work !!!!
Glad I took piccys of them as it is cool to remeber what work you have done in the past.....

do u use any additives or top coats to your leather art work?

Hi Voodoo,
No I dont bother - The acrylic paint is 100% waterproof when dry and is really flexible so it doesnt crack.
I know people who use acrylic varnish to seal the artwork but it isn't really needed.

sweet jackets man!!! FEIND CLUB!!! right on. i do acrylic on some old demin jackets sometimes for friends. some graffiti style some tattoo style. its always fun though. especially when you get to see one out in the masses. your work reminds me of my old boss LOU RUSCONI. he does a lot of work for heavy metal bands and for european horror films.
check out www.lourusconi.com thats my favorite guy to work with of all time. plus his wife paula is a badass too. good work man.. later
