Rob forces Jeri to do the impossible, time and again. The results are something never seen before.
This custom guitar strap is a WWII Bomber Plane, rendered in extraordinary detail across every inch of leather, front and back.
The front is built from gun metal metallic kidskin, layered with hand-cut kidskin overlays depicting imagery you’d find on a real WWII fighter plane. Every image is individually cut and glued down, then meticulously stitched with clear thread so the artwork stays clean and nothing competes with the design. The airplane sections are embellished with hand-placed “rivets”, and the plane bears four “bullet holes” made from oxidized, tortured hardware, the kind of detail you have to see up close to believe.
Flip it over and the back tells the rest of the story. Woven strips of black and white kidskin sit above an airbrushed sky. The bomber is mid-mission, dropping atomic bombs, and below it, a full airbrushed explosion in vivid color.
This is a one-of-a-kind gallery piece, a museum-worthy example of what becomes possible when a client pushes us to the limit and we push back with everything we have. If you have a vision that seems impossible, that’s exactly the kind of project we want to hear about.
