I recently needed a new bag to carry around sewing projects, so I made one that would serve my purposes out of an old band shirt that I didn’t want to make into something wearable. It was really fun to make and extremely useful, so I went on a bag-making spree! ::

I used this shirt that I got from Amoeba. It thought it was a weird Behemoth shirt at the time that I purchased it. Upon later inspection, I saw it's actually Nehemah, a band I have never heard of...at least it looks cool!

Patch pocket on the back. Lined with an old sheet for stability. Contrast fabric were scraps from other projects.

TLR needed a new lap top bag so he drew the front image with a fabric marker onto an old white t-shirt, and I made him this bag custom NVR-NDR bag.

Pockets are essential

Fur lining because it was the poofiest thing I had that would protect a laptop!
The below 3 bags are for sale. They will be on the store page or etsy at some point…email me if you want one sooner than that, or if you want a custom bag :: ktb@insidiousclothing.com

The front came from an old Jolly Roger felt hat. The sides are from some houndstooth pants. Buttons on both sides

Back made of Halloween felt, patch pocket made out of black and red snakeskin vinyl

I Killed the Prom Queen rattlesnake purse, with recycled curtain contrast fabric.

The back has a patch made of brown and black cracked vinyl.

Korn :: Take a Look in the Mirror reconstructed band shirt

Made out of an old Korn shirt, a pair of jeans, and a recycled sheet for lining. There are pockets on the sides. Strap is made of t-shirt material.

My Aunt was planning a wedding for her friends, and the groom requested Zombie cake toppers. Where do you go, when you need zombie cake toppers? Here! I make zem! ::

the bride and groom, cornered by ravenous zombie
I got galvanized wire at a home improvement store, then made little doll frames. I wrapped them in stuffing, then sewed pantyhose stockings skin over their white, fluffy innards. The clothes were sewn onto the bodies, then the hair, and then their faces were painted on. The final steps were making the chainsaws out of clay, painting the chainsaws, and painting on the blood ::

This zombie was made with stakes in his hands, so he can climb up the side of the cake. The others have stakes in their feet so they stand up.

Go Zombie

Another view of the couple, the grooms expression is hilarious

[tlr] had this ridiculous concept of Pizza Skirt Armor for many, many years…some people told him not to make it a reality, that humans weren’t ready for it. Even I doubted aspects of his concept art. Who could have known that he would totally rock that shit?
:: Photos by Marianne Williams ::

Who?! You know! Tell me!

The vegetarian pizza skirt and vinyl/velvet/eyeball spiked armor were made from 95% recycled matericals! By recycled I mean the materials were found/donated/saved from certain doom. (tlr is stealthily sporting a Ming & Ping shirt under his armor)

danger awaits your every move when you're in a nvr-ndr o.O

Now this is what artificial flavors should be! Nom nom nom :D

I’m going to the Cindergarden album release party tonight at the Hyaena gallery!

I’m going to be selling Cindergarden key pillows ::



And on Sunday there’s an Anti-Valentines Day event at HM157, a historical Victorian house in Lincoln Heights, Los Angeles ::

And maybe I’ll release a comp, who knows…

Yesterday I came home after a miserable day at work and saw Liz Ohanesian’s article about the new X Japan video, which had a picture of the werewolf that I helped make - I hadn’t seen it since it was finished and it turned out great!!! IMMD :)

In only 3 days, Ralis and a small team made the actual mold, skin, teeth, eyes, and other details, I put the fur on him, another girl cut and styled the fur, and then Ralis put on the finishing touches. I can’t wait to see the video!
