Thank god for the 21st century, because now embroidery doesn’t have to be the domain of needlepointing grannies any more! Dirty Needle Embroidery has taken a pursuit most often used for flowers and puppies and made it rock ‘n fucking roll! His intricate and detailed patches are completely unique, and would find a good home on any battle jacket. He does custom work (you can contact him here) and works with our homies Riding Easy Records on a “patch of the month” club. How many debauched friends can you think of who would love a custom patch for Xmas, one that reaffirms their drug use and pro-Satan lifestyle? I’m pretty blown away by the idea that he can create these awesome portraits and designs freehand with a sewing machine. I’ve tried that, and I gave up after about 2 seconds of squiggly, fucked up line. Check out the detail on the Riding Easy and three-eyed goat back patches below…amazing. I’m a big fan of manbroidery!
