leatheroo Report post Posted May 11, 2008 some more info i found Bob Basset is a virtual Live Journal user, behind it are four talented ukranian craftsman Oleg and Sergey Petrov, Andrei Patlin and Andrey Makaruk. These guys have started by making costume elements for the local Historical Reconstruction club. All the pieces were created using only original technologies. Their medieval and fantasy armor and weapons have made them famous among the local reconstruction and live role playing crowd. For the past few years they have been trying to turn their art into a business. They still make medieval armor and weapon replicas (they work with metal as well), they tried their hand in custom BDSM toys and costume elements, recently they have created a series of macabre leather masks. Currently they are looking for an investment to make a small leather works factory in Kharkov. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClayB Report post Posted May 11, 2008 Thanks for sharing this. Those guys have a lot of creativity going on in their work, and sooooo much variety. I really like what they did with that tiger book, probably because it is closest to what I usually do, but with some neat twists. But you cant help but get some new ideas from looking at their work.
