my new obsession/call for clothing tailors


As I mentioned in my favorite films, I truly enjoyed: The assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford.

After i watched this, i couldn't get the outfits out of my head!

ok, here's when the Tailors come in, i have images, sketches, etc. but i was hoping some one would read this and want to help build 1 Jesse James outfit?!

it's been awhile

Hello, It has been quite awhile, sense my last post. Instead of trying to explain every thing that's happened sense the last post just a brief run through:
  • 26 hours Benny Nemorofsky and i composed and cut a lullaby, with Benny doing the vocals.
[Benny's site: http://www.nemerofsky.ca/]
  • I am composing, cutting, and remixing the score for "half life" short film in the works by Leon Johnson [http://leonjohnson.org/]
  • A prototype of a shelving system has been made based after Bruce Lee's pose in his film "Game Of Death", With the insides of the compartments, matching the color of Lee's jump suite from the film also a chair design is in the works. All of this will be built by James Harmon.
more thing later on in this post...
