This is awesome! How long have you been doing leather work for?
I started during Corona when I wasn’t allowed to go dancing every day. Spent quite a lot time researching the methods, watched dozens of hours of videos on how to do it. Then I got the tools some leather and made my first hat. And a few more hats, some bags in between, a few key fobs.
My last to projects were completely self designed: a book cover for my uncles hymnbook and now this bag.
It’s a bit more challenging than using bought patterns from professional designers/ leather artists, but it’s the only method to get something fitting for special purposes, like my electric chainsaw.

Are any of you creatives running Renaissance Man or Ultimate Artist?
I am running Renaissance Man at the moment and have run it quite a bit since it was originally released. Also bought Ultimate Artist when it was first released and have given it many listens.

I was running UA for a bit, but then had to focus on shifting my priorities. Always loved it as a title. I’m a music producer and despite my incredibly poor piano skills I’d find myself being able to instinctively know which chords to play in order to capture what I wanted. I find it’s really good at breaking down the mental barriers to letting expression flow for me.

Ever since I get to hold crayons into my hands, the walls become my canvas that’s the reason why my grandparents always put me into summer classes.
I join a few contest with Corel Draw, Photoshop got an award. Everything gets even interesting when I learn Illustrator, back then AI wasn’t yet evolved.
For now I only used Photoshop, Premiere for my forensic sideline business.
There are too much AI applied on art works, not much emotions I can see on them.

This is a hat I made especially for Ren’fairs Last summer. I had severe sunburn but wanted to go to my favorite fair, so I mixed two patterns to get a huge brim for my favorite base (a pork pie hat base, known eg from braking bad).
The huge brim is good against sun and rain.
Against the rain, I coated it with bees wax.
The leather skin I bought had on slit where the cow had a little injury, so I turned the flaw into a feature and now it’s right on the front.
Another nice feature is the wire in the brim, so I can freely form it. Be it flat, a tricorn (Captn Jack Sparrow), a cowboy hat or even an octagon.
And I lined it with some black velvet I had still lying around from another project.

I bought an iPad pro and Procreate back in December but I haven’t really been able to get into it.
I didn’t mean you with “go digital”, I talked to myself. I like your artworks as they are.

Beautiful work, especially the cat-fox-bird.
Also the cat is very nice.
Btw, did you slip in a selfi by accident?
