This is a blog to show how you can re-create nose art on a leather jacket, in an inexpensive way. The same principle could also be used to customize any type of leather jacket.

New jacket soon
i found another A2 on ebay. This should be with me next week. So I can make a start on either this one or the other next week. Going to call it 'Heavenly body.'
thanx for posting this blog. i have been planning to paint my jacket for some time...i work in a variety of mediums...would like to use one shot enamels because of their flow and ability to pull long lines but i'm afraid they may crack on a jacket. after reading your blog i may use acrylics. how have your jackets held up over time? thanks, and good work!
Thanks very much for your comments. You are the first to post one! I sold Hellraiser to a motorcyclist. and so far so good. He is out in most weather and very happy with the jacket. You could paint a sealer over the artwork. Some craft/art shops sell this. I would try it on a scrap of leather first.
