I entered my studio on a cool summer morning, feeling the crisp air as a gentle rainstorm had just begun outside. I turned on every light in my workspace to brightly illuminate the centerpiece project I was focused on that day. This worn jacket was my next painting, destined to become a standout piece in my RAIN collection. Though I was excited, I wasn’t quite sure how to begin the transformation. I paid extreme attention to every moment as I carefully worked, applying bleach slowly at first, respecting the fabric’s texture and character. Outside, the rain grew steadily heavier, escalating to a full downpour, filling the space with a rhythmic, calming sound. The noise didn’t distract me; in fact, the rain tapping on the two skylights above only inspired me further, urging me to work with renewed energy and determination. I moved swiftly from front to back, side to side, almost dancing alongside the dress form holding the jacket in the perfect pose. Throughout the process, I maintained what I call “FLOW ATTENTION,” a mindful focus that keeps me completely connected to the creative moment. Hours later, as I neared the end of this session, I could see the results of my careful dedication. There, standing before me, was a totally cool garment—RAIN had been reborn in a way that felt both fresh and authentic.

I would be honored to create a custom REBORN Rain Jean Jacket just for you. Here’s how it works: simply purchase the commission for $200, then send me a worn blue jean jacket from your own closet or a thrift store—no new garments, please. Be sure to include return postage in the form of stamps so I can send the finished piece back to you. That’s all there is to it. I will create a unique RAIN jacket made especially for you.
