Pop-art bass strap

[Frederiek]

There's no secret  I only tried out airbrush once and I suck at it. So it's all (really cheap) regular brushes, small ones, and a lot of patience. Here's some pictures of the progress (sorry for the mess  ):

And here's my superb custom dot tool:

Nope .. Sorry brother but Lichtenstein would have probably been right in your age frame. He was born in 1923 and served his time during WWII and had his art hey day in and around the early and mid 60's. You cant deny one of your periods art children 

LOL ... only teasing .. It is a great bit of work though on that strap and I do hope to see more of it. I love the graphic style though mine go a bit darker. Lichtenstein is one of my art heros and I have seen an exhibition of his work at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC but I keep trying for something in leather that is more along the sensibility of Frank Miller. I have some pieces but nothing I am ready to share.

Wow that sounds amazing, I'm looking forward to that! The new owner of this strap is a comic book collector and while I'm a big fan of Lichtenstein I actually don't know much about comics... So I chose for something I did know (I didn't communicate the design as it was a first time for many things for me with this one) and it was a hit  

I'm currently working on a guitar stool that matches my own strap and I plan on doing a second stool+strap with another pop art design....

Really well done, here is the likely inspiration for the strap,

for those of you not familiar with Roy Lichtenstein's work

Consider my jaw... dropped. That is a brilliant execution. I know this topic is a couple of months on, but would you mind posting the underside? I'm about to plunge into strap making, and want to know if you folded the pigskin under the veg or just stuck it flat and left the cut edge exposed.
