Distressing an Asylum Nurse Costume Part 1
So.
I’m trying to keep more photos of the process of destroying/distressing the nurse costume I’m working on for ORG: Asylum . I figured some people might like to see the extent/process that goes into some sort of realistic distressing techniques.

Jackie Olivia Art Vomit
I’m totally just putting up as many images as I can find so they are in one cohesive place.
It’s kind of annoying me that it’s not in any sort of order…

it’s long overdue that I compile something with my work and I have the motivation to sit down right now and dig it all out in one big Jackie Olivia Art vomit. Nom Nom.
Cheers!
