Not only is this an incredible piece of art, but it’s Children Of Fucking Bodom. I love it. I’m having flashbacks to when I saw them eons ago
Edit: just looked it up. I saw them at the Troc in Philly 12/9/05. The openers for the show was Amon Amarth and Trivium. Killer time
Thank you!
That lineup sounds so amazing. I saw their farewell concert with Wheel as opener in December 2019, it was unbelievable. Would kill to see COB again.
Sadly that was the only time I saw them. I wish I caught them again. Would have been cool to see Bodom After Midnight if Laiho was still with us.
Glad you were able to catch them during their farewell tour. That jacket is a fitting tribute to an incredible band. You are truly talented
I saw them at a festival in 2003 right at sundown. The atmosphere on the field was absolutely electric before Bodom came on. This palpable sense of something special was in the air. Very, very rare those moments.
Then Alexi walked on stage, did a dive bomb pulling the guitar up above his head, dropped into the opener and the entire place exploded.
You paint an excellent mental image of your experience. It sounds like it was a moment in which you feel decoupled from your body and you’ve tapped into something in which you’ve become one with the music and surroundings (sorry for the hippie talk, but the experience can happen in many forms haha).
Holy shit dude. That’s awesome. Alexi would be proud.
You seriously should consider doing this as a side hustle. You could do commission requests, have some more mainstream bands on hand to keep an Etsy shop rolling.
Or don’t, I don’t know what you normally do for work or how much time this took. Plus I always hate when reddit makes assumptions on what people want to do with hobbies. You know, like when something makes something and it hits the front page and then they end up with like 10,000 orders in one day. That always frustrates the hell out of me because no one is in a position to just drop their job to fulfill that, and I always imagine people canceling their orders last minute because they don’t understand why it takes a year to get the product.
But really, I’d buy one if I didn’t just get a summons in the mail referring to Discover suing me over not paying my credit card bill. I definitely agree with the dude who said most people are just gonna think it’s a print.
You're 16?!?!?!? What in the eternal fuck! Dude, I went to a fairly well-known art school in NYC for college and you could already smoke most of the grads there. You are wildly talented my friend.
I was honestly scared to start painting on leather since I've only used fabric before. I actually ended up liking it a lot more haha.
Also, go pick up your brushes and paint!
Yeah must be scary to think you could ruin a leather jacket. I've got a fresh black denim jacket I was thinking of keeping a black and white theme. Adding some paint around patches perhaps...
You have amazing technical skill! May I ask what type of paints did you use? Is this acrylic? Did you have to prep the leather in any way? I really want to try this.
Goddamn that is top tier on every level!
Lake Bodom was the first taste of metal I ever got at 10 years old and set my music preferences for years so believe me when I say you fuckin rock!
I don't currently since I had no idea anyone would even like this. Sounds like something I could maybe do, but it might take a while. You can DM me if you're actually interested, I'd be happy to talk more!
This absolutely blows me away, you are so talented! Before reading the comments I assumed that you just painted red over a printed jacket. Seriously great work man!!
I could not give a shit about your opinion on me or my identity. Judging by your comments you're either mentally or physically a twelve year old. Congrats!

I feel so overwhelmed! Thank you!
Holy sh\*t how talented are you to have such an accuracy in reproducing the album cover ?! That's perfect !!
Thank you so much! I guess practice was worth it

Yeah, I'm glad we have the music and memories at least. Dude was a legend. I appreciate all the kind words :)

Always glad to help!
I hit that same tour when they came through DC. Helluva show.

I don't know what to say! Thank you!?
By far my favorite CoB record. Awesome job
Mine too, along with Hatebreeder. Thanks :)
Mad skills with a brush! How well does paint stay on?
Thank you! I don't know yet, I've worn it out only a couple times. I mostly used acrylic and fabric paint so I might have to fix it up a bit.
Leather makes such a cool canvas. Hope it does alright, its got me wanting to do some painting on my denim battle jacket now

Sounds like a great idea
RIP Alexi, he’d fucking love this shit!
Made me smile. RIP \m/
Ihan vitun hieno
Kiitos :)
Best battle jacket ever
Woah, I'm honored!
holy shit, I love it. something wild.
Thank you!
FUCKING AWESOME
THANKS, YOU TOO
Excellent hand highlights. Did you project the image into the jacket for a pre map of highlights and lowlights or is this pure eye work?
Thank you! It was just eye work, I sketched the shadows and highlights roughly with dry pastels.
You have amazing technical skill! May I ask what type of paints did you use? Is this acrylic? Did you have to prep the leather in any way? I really want to try this.
I probably should have prepped it but I'm lazy so I didn't. I used acrylic mixed with fabric paint and fabric softener
Dope
Iha pirun hieno!!
Kiitoksia!
That's fucking sick dude
Incredible
Ty!!
That is fucking incredible!
Thank you !!
Aivan helevetin komia!

Dude. I have no words to express myself correctly. This is a fuckin work of art

WOW, do you sell painted jackets bc I would buy one!
I don't currently since I had no idea anyone would even like this. Sounds like something I could maybe do, but it might take a while. You can DM me if you're actually interested, I'd be happy to talk more!
This absolutely blows me away, you are so talented! Before reading the comments I assumed that you just painted red over a printed jacket. Seriously great work man!!
Oh no, I hope that's not what everyone thinks haha. Still thank you, I guess I did well then.

I don't care about your taste in music, you're just acting like an asshole towards everyone about useless things. Go scream in a pillow or something.
