My Jacket

This is my jacket. This jacket is a personal representation of me, what I like, music I like, and some things that I believe in. I wanted to "express" what I like on my jacket because I had a lot of buttons and a jacket in my closet that was kind of lame anyway.  So I bought some studs for my jacket. I'm not going to tell you what I used (because its a secret, well not really, I just don't want to say) So after that, I got some patches to put on the front. I'm sad to say that I didn't make them, but it doesn't really matter because I got them for a dollar a piece. Yes, I did make a patch or two, but I'm still thinking of a place to put them.  On the back, I have more studs, and some tartan in a square shape (yes, that is dental floss that is holding the tartan and the patches down). The one thing that I don't have is a back patch. I might buy one from the record store, or I might just make one. Either way, I'll tell you all about it.  Oh yeah, I did everything on this jacket by hand. I put countless hours in this thing, and I'm proud of my work. I'm not done yet, so I'll post more about my jacket.

A note on the pictures: This is my own personal picture and I don't want you to "exploit" it. If you want to use it, contact me first and please give me attribution for taking my picture :)

Another thing, I don't own any of these band logos. I'm just a fan.

Front
Buttons on left side: "Say no to emo", "Unite", Sonic Youth, Siouxsie and the Banshees, "OI!", The infamous Batman logo button, "Go vegetarian!", Clockwork Orange, Handmade anti consumerism/anti money button. Adicts patch.
Buttons on right side: Buzzcocks, lust cats, Chaos UK, DP 77, Handmade "I'm awesome pin", GBH, Union Jack, "Trash Swastika" button, Girls Rock Denver (whoop whoop!)  Pinned On Conflict patch (should I keep it?)

Yes, that is my comforter....
Back
About... 250+ studs and a square piece of tartan. Kind of boring right?

If you know a good backpatch or patch that I would like, go ahead and tell me! I'll be happy to make a patch (like I have anything else to do).

Vacation Post #1 Comic Books

If I ever want to read a book, I usually just pick up a comic book and just start to read it.  I like comic books because they are just quick reads with loads of detail in them. My favorite comic book is V for Vendetta, by Alan Moore. Yeah, he also did Watchmen and Swamp Thing, but I still like V for Vendetta for the content matter. I seen the movie, but I kind of forgot about it so, I'll have to watch it again.  Anyway V is a vigilante and he is trying to save England from an authoritarian regime. I am personally a fan of "Orwell" like novels, but even if you don't like them, I'm sure that you will like this comic. Lots of crazy gangsters, crazy cops, and even a guy with a pretty awesome mask.

I like Batman so much, I got into an argument with my best friend on the reasons why Batman is better than Superman (If you are reading this, I'm sorry... Really sorry) I also have a Batman pin on my jacket next to my Siouxsie and the Banshees and Sonic Youth pins. If that isn't dedication, then I can't tell you what is. My school library is kind of wack, so I have to fight off a pack of small children at the local library to get my fix of Batman (It is well worth it... Well worth it.) I think that I'll stencil my own Batman shirt... But I don't want to get sued.

I used to be a HUGE manga fan, but I kind of stooped reading the past couple of years. My favorite mangas are Kodocha (childs toy), Yotsuba&!, and Azumanga Daioh. If you are looking for a quick and funny read, check out Azumanga Daioh: all the funnyness of school, and all of the niceness of the comic book.

So yeah, I'm still on "academic vacation" so I'm not going to be online as much as I normally do. If you want to do some reading, check out my music blog. No, my major posts are still in development, so don't fret if there are nothing but videos.
