VonFuct Report post Posted August 8, 2009 Well, here's my second wallet I've done. The first was a bi-fold for a friend, this one is a "biker" for me. Whatcha think? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Timd Report post Posted August 8, 2009 Y'know, guys like you really tick me off. Second wallet my a$$! Seriously though, that is one sweet wallet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TomSwede Report post Posted August 8, 2009 Very cool wallet VonFuct!!! I especially like that it is a borderless design, the stitching is enough to keep the composition together . Very nice work!! Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VonFuct Report post Posted August 8, 2009 Thanks a lot! And to be fair, Timd1159, it's not my second project, just my second wallet. It's probably about my fifth or sixth project since I started doing leatherwork. ;o) And Tom, yeah, I was going for something a little different than what I've seen in the past. It seems most are bordered in some way so I wanted to try a three sided bleed. Glad you liked it! TwinOaks, there's a "skull crowd"? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwinOaks Report post Posted August 8, 2009 Most certainly! There's a small group here that incorporate skull designs into a lot of their work, some of it steampunk, some biker, some .....other. And it isn't all carved either- just search for "skulls", and include the quotes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, I been nagging alot about bordering and think most times it is needed but there are allways that exception that confirms the rule as well and not to forget everyone has their personal pref wich is fine by me. I picked up my way of thinking image/tooling/designing from a photographers point of view. The skull crew is a little inofficial bunch of members and whenever you post your first skull it seems like there is allways someone welcoming you to the "gang". Hmmm.. maybe we should have a subforum for skullfreaks;-) Tom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LAROC Report post Posted August 9, 2009 Really like the lettering with the graphics moving from one side to the next. I'm going to have to try something like this in the future. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VonFuct Report post Posted August 9, 2009 Yeah, I can understand that Tom. I'm coming at it from an art director/graphic artist point of view with a heavy dose of tattoo influence. The way I see it, just do what the piece/art wants to do, don't fight it and have fun with it. Oh, and I guess I AM one of the skull crew, I just thought about it and out of the seven leather projects I've done so far, five had had skulls in them!

I've discovered that my graphic design background really comes across in my leather designs. David Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe I'll frame the next wallet I do and see how I like it. What types of framing do you like to use? Edited August 10, 2009 by VonFuct Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
