Mike Green's Leather Jacket

Wow! This is a blast from the past. I used to live with this guy Mike Green in a warehouse on the far outskirts of Reno, in a town called Stead. We had built our own makeshift bathroom, and slept in ramshackle rooms we fabricated from 2x4's and sheets. This was the mid eighties, and there was a lot of crazy shit going on. I used to paint leather jackets for all the punk dudes that used to come in and out of there. I realized much later that this was kind of a precursor to my eventual tattooing career. I got ahold of Mike through Facebook, and he said that he had his jacket still, and that he would shoot some photos of it for me. So, here it is, Mike's Jacket.


I was on a skateboarding tour when the cops raided the place and took my car as evidence. Apparently the were some shady dealings going on in the warehouse. I can assure you, I had nothing to do with any alleged illegal activities, ha ha!
