Custom-Made Clothing

June 23rd, 2009

I recently decided that I needed new Specialty Clothing.

First, I drew Caricatures on the front and back of a tshirt.
That’s useful at some Parties - especially the ones where
I’m hired to draw on tshirts:

Then I had an old jacket that I had been keeping in my car
just in case a client surprised me with an outdoor Party on
a day that I considered too cold (I keep sunscreen for
the other extreme). Anyway, I was unhappy when
I had to wear it because it was an old thing that
I could ‘junk around’ in my car instead of
hanging up like we usually do with our clothes.
But now that I painted on it, I am not only
looking forward to wearing it for those
‘emergencies’. Now I’m thinking it’s too nice
to crumple around in the back of my car.

Now, this is something real useful. Laying on the chair in front of the picture
is an apron that I prepared for the times I’m asked to walk around a Party doing
Caricatures. The little apron has two pockets for holding my drawing supplies:

BTW, I drew the Caricature above to test out the apron.
Nothing like standing up and holding your supplies to encourage
you to draw real fast!
