Started my first punk leather jacket DIY!

I've had this jacket for years but didn't do anything with it because I was too insecure about my clothes modification skills lol. Oh well, you gotta start somewhere.

The paint got weird when I used the fixative spray, so there's a white halo around the Venus symbol now, but I think it just makes it more punk tbh.

The drawing is a reference to S.C.U.M. the band, I learned about them from another radfem on this hellsite <3

Any ideas on what other radical feminist mottos to put under the symbol? Doesn't have to be a reference to anything, but there's still space, and I'd like to show what I stand for. Tips on DIY, studding, and painting on leather are also appreciated \m/

I Shot Andy Warhol (1996) a Kinetic Look at 1960s New York. You only get one shot at fame... poster

Valerie Solanas entered Warhol’s sixth-floor office on June 3, 1968, shot with a .32 Beretta both Warhol and Mario Amaya, a London art gallerist, and left the building.

She thought he was was going to steal her manuscript, he ignored her calls...

Beginning in late 1965, she repeatedly tried to get Warhol to produce a play she had written called Up Your Ass...

S.C.U.M Manifesto, Olympia Press, 1971

Calling on “civic-minded, responsible, thrill-seeking females” to “overthrow the government, eliminate the money system, institute complete automation and eliminate the male sex.”

No genuine social revolution can be accomplished by the male, as the male on top wants the status quo, and all the male on the bottom wants is to be the male on top. The male "rebel" is a farce; this is the male's "society", made by him to satisfy his needs. He's never satisfied, because he's not capable of being satisfied. Ultimately, what the male "rebel" is rebelling against is being male.

Friday, July 8, 1977

By the way, Valerie [Solanas] has been seen hanging around the Village and last week when I was cruising there with Victor, I was scared I’d run into her and that would be a really weird thing. What would happen? Would she want to shoot me again? Would she try to be friendly?

Every man, deep down, knows he's a worthless piece of shit. Overwhelmed by a sense of animalism and deeply ashamed of it; wanting, not to express himself, but to hide from others his total physicality, total egocentricity, the hate and contempt he feels for other men, and to hide from himself the hate and contempt he suspects other men feel for him; having a crudely constructed nervous system that is easily upset by the least display of emotion or feeling, the male tries to enforce a "social" code that ensures a perfect blandness, unsullied by the slightest trace of feeling or upsetting opinion.
