More leather work from Spacey!

Here is the seat i am doing for "the Indian Giver" bike. This bike is virtually a ground up custom/chopper that was built by my partner Chopper Steve, his son Andrew, and me Spacey...
When getting a bike together, i like to ride it without final painting (in the raw) until i get the bugs worked out, then make revisions and ride it a little morer til i am sure the bike is dialed in...THEN painting time...For now, i use spray paint to keep it from rusting...
right now, i am in the first revision.
the first seat i had was made by a local guy and looked like a crooked catchers mit. This new seat is handmade by me with some assitance from my helper, Chris TAT2.
Once again, i have used saddle leather for the tooling and some old leather i have saved from my old pal Allen Sumrall who had passed away, to finish it off. It was great to have it on my seat and on my personal bike because Allen was a biker and a grand tattoo collector! He helped me cut my teeth as a up and coming artist and i was in the process of covering him from head to toe.
The seat is double stitched by hand and the seat pan was also made by me.
i hope you enjoy the pictures and your feedback is greatly enjoyed.
If you want me to make you a seat... then call me @ 601.462.4199 or email me @ spaceytattoo@yahoo.com ...thanks spACEy

Kill The World!

KILL THE WORLD!

KTW!

riding has always been my way of getting my mind straight.

when i was a kid it was bmx....when i became a man...it was a motorcycle...

forgetting the world was the object

of my desire... going places i haven't been or

familiar areas i could really carve up and get

down on...

the attitude of "forget the world"

became "F*ct the world" then "What the f*ct" became "Kill the world!"

what does that mean? we all know FTW...WTF...FTF... But what about KTW!
it could be considered a violent phrase or a protective one if you like!
to me it is a protective one! stop the world frum getting you! "nip them in the bud"...
go ahead and say " don't tread on me!"
this seat project is the first one i have made...i still have to make a metal seat pan and
stitch it all together...
the leather tooling gig is all my buddy CHoPPer sTeve's fault...he dumped out a huge
bag of leather tools and a leather hide and told me to do something with it! he always
has a way of getting me to do something new and challenging...he is also kinda scary too
so that is a little extra motivation! haha! well here is what the seat looks like so far...

i will post up sum more when i get the raw materials and we can see how this train wreck comes together!

MEANWHILE....

the indiangiver may finally get back on the road soon as my replacement transmission arrived

yesterday! so whatch out asphalt, because i am coming back to beat you down louder than ever!

well day two is here and i decided to break the ice with some tattoo work!
