Was thinking of sketching up some patches and painting onto leather

[jeremiah]

never done any patch artwork. Here are a few things I did in watercolor years ago though.

I have some sheepskin and some goat that might make good leather. If anyone has something they would like I can try one or two out.

J
Those pictures look great!
I’d be happy to have one made by you.
Thank you!

J, those are fantastic! It never ceases to amaze me how talented so many of the guys on this forum are! I love it and am inspired by you all!

 

[jeremiah]

I was thinking I’d start with something simple. Any ideas?

How about a us army Air Force roundel or a China Burma India patch?

 

[jeremiah]

Believe it or not that would be a hard one to do. Ha. I could go into detail but something like that needs to be perfect because Of the geometry.

 

[B-Man2]

Never thought about that. I bet if we had that roundel stamp it would make the geometry easier to deal with. Why not do something of your choosing that you like to do .?
Do you have anything in mind?

 

[jeremiah]

I guess I could come up with a sketch and see what you guys thought. I could do a lot of work and get the rondel down but I was thinking more of those cartoon type patches. Like this one. This one is based on a real patch.

AVG Group Patch very cool!
(American Volunteer Group) Flying Tigers.

Love the sketches and watercolor! If you need a guinea pig feel free to send one over here!

 

[jeremiah]

Will do. I might do the flying tiger one.

If you want to start simple, consider 370th Bomb Squadron or 424th Bomb Squadron, or "Jolly Rogers" 90th Bomb Group.
The 374th Bomb Squadron patch is also a really cool design:

 

[jeremiah]

Huh. I could do that one. I was thinking of just paint but I like that panel stitching. Thanks.

There is certainly no limits to you good sir, like your work.

@jeremiah - it is excellent watercolors.
I also drew from childhood and when later I was carried away by WW2 leather jackets I tried to draw on the leather and got great pleasure from the process and result. The only important moment - this takes time (which I always do not have) and that no one interferes with you (children, etc.).
I'm sure you'll create great patches or back arts.
You have good skills and you just must to try to do something!

Your first piece reminded me so much of this album cover done by Syd himself......when will we see/hear his likes again?
