Bad Brains hand painted jacket by Gavin Oglesby

It really is hard to describe this one so I will let the seller do the job;

“UP FOR AUCTION HERE IS A BAD BRAINS PAINTED LEATHER JACKET OF MINE.THIS JACKET IS AWSOME PAINTED BY GAVIN OGLESBY IN 1987.”

All caps, and rightly so. When I first saw this, I thought it was a silkscreen/print or something. Once I read the description, I knew it was something special. You don’t see the lost art of writing/drawing/painting on jackets much anymore, but in 1987 it was(as I have heard) the bees knees. This is the cream of the crop right here brought to you by the guy who painted the Uniform Choice “Screaming For Change” cover, as well as a million other things.

I am not sure why there is no bids on this. I would have figured that the Radio Silence coverage would have elevated the status on this beauty. Dear readers, let us work together to give this a good home. I just did my part.
