Russell has this seersucker suit that is dirty, stained, and holey, but still too fly not to get some love when it comes to festival costuming. We carved stamps of Deady Bears and a Terrapin Turtle and did a circle of the dancing bears on the back a year or two ago, and Russell gets tons of compliments on it.
Sunday night, I went to bed with the baby and Russell went back out to see Pretty Lights and Eoto. While he was out and about, he ran across a girl doing spraypaint stencil work on clothing. He gave her his jacket and a few bucks, but then our friend Elliot came by and gave her some more money to do the whole jacket. The photos here show the results. The work is awesome! She just happened to have the exact colors we did the bears with, and her stencils are awesome!
The design on the lower back is actually from a crop circle known at the "swallows" (http://www.greatdreams.com/crop/swallows.htm) but to us String Cheese fans it looks like a jellyfish! Either way, that jacket is now completely awesome. I couldn't have been more excited when he showed it to me Monday morning! What a score.
Makes me think we should start doing some stencil art.... Hmmm....
