An artfit for Forest


Forest was a student of mine about three years ago. I caught up with him while teaching summer art studio in Green Bay this summer. Practicing what I preach, I created this artfit in the spirit of the course. It features a vintage Levi's jean jacket embellished with copper paint, and appliques cut from a tapestry wall hanging along with patches found at a thrift shop. The t-shirt is hand-painted, the shorts are cut-offs from some old green polyester pants and feature a little fawn peeking out of the back pocket. The shoes are mint condition Bass boat shoes (thanks Green Bay thrift), and the hat is a Banana Republic newsboy (a touch too small, but it added that certain little something).
