Thanks Bill. The artwork is a recreation of the graphic artist Stanley Mouse, who created poster and album art for many famous bands of the 60's and 70's era. Though he created art for the Grateful Dead and many other bands, he also has some Dia de Los Muertos art, as well as other genres. I have been a long time fan of his work, so this piece is a tribute of sorts. If the bag had't been for me, but for a customer, I would have done an original piece on the back. I liked this challenge, because it allowed me to play with two new mediums: Acrylic paints on leather, and the use of pyro. Some of the fine detail and shading was achieved with pyro. My father used to detail his decoy carvings with the burner set my mom gave to me, which made this attempt even more meaningful. I will definitely continue to use it for future work, as I really enjoyed experimenting with it. Thanks for looking! -
Thank you Cyrex!

Thanks. I finally got the good camera back from being repaired, so no more iphone pics. -

This one is for me. A Stanley Mouse nod (one of my favorite graphic artists), and a bit of Sailor Jerry carvings thrown in. My first time coloring with acrylic, wanted more of a rough and tumble rock-n-roll distressed feel instead of neat and clean. It is all hand stitched, and I used a mix of tooling and pyro on the skeleton on the back, and parts of the crown for extra shading. Pics Continued... Interior

Love me some Johnny Cash. Nice idea and execution.

The design is solid, and construction looks good. Can't tell from the photos, but your edges look "not quite finished". They are a little rough looking. May be the quality of the photo, not sure. It's the little things that make all the difference, or so I have been schooled on occasion. Nice job. Like the idea of the stone inset!

Well Done! -
Very cool design and execution! Thanks for showing your excellent work!

This piece belongs in a museum. Stunning work! How long did it take to carve, and how were you able to keep it properly cased? A carving this size and this detailed would take me weeks, and still suck in comparison. Really amazing work!

Thanks guys, just finished staining the front and back panels, and on to the gusset and straps. I will post finished pics of the bag after I get done hand stitching it all together. Might take a few weeks! -
