Awesome! Thanks so much! And please do share pics! As soon as I’m home from Lake George, I’m going to get started on the vegan leather jacket I have that I’ve been planning on modifying with an AFI theme.
Btw. I have discovered that family vacations drive me back to the AFI merch store and totally convince me to buy more merch that I have no room for.
It’s not finished yet, but I’ve been working on a (somewhat embarrassingly obsessive) photo collage of the band (mostly Davey) inspired by the Sing the Sorrow artwork.
SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT! SHOW IT!
I unfortunately don’t have a picture of it and my phone is old and crap so the camera lens is so scratched I can’t take pictures with it anymore. In any case, yeah it’s kind of embarrassing and kind of almost a shrine.
Okay, there’s the jacket I free painted for the most recent run of shows. I used iron-ons for the stitched letters. I was debating on painting the letters, but I wanted the extra dimension. I’m just started sketching ideas for a vegan leather bomber I have lying around.
I love that. Beautiful work! That’s one of my very favorite quotes from that Sing the Sorrow. At one time I considered getting that entire line from the poem (There is poetry in despair, and we sang with unrivaled beauty, bitter elegies of savagery and eloquence, of blue and grey) tattooed with the leaves on my leg.
If they had done both one after the other, I wouldn’t have survived. But, no, they did “This Time Imperfect.” I legitimately cried. Like, full on bawling and singing along. I was a mess.
