| Welcome to my website. Here mostly you'll find a portfollio of my leather armor work. I've been putting off making this website for years now. so now that im doing it you'll also find all sorts of other things around here. you may find links to little things ive written. links to short films im working on, my personal thoughts on this world, and things im looking to do in this great world of ours. Im an artist, my outlets are martial, leather, theatre, film, and realms of spirit. so these are the kinda things i'll be posting here. Currently I'm studdying Theatre at UWM, I'm also studying traditional martial arts at the Futen Dojo with the hopes of someday being an instructor., making armor part time, hoping to get a minor in film, about to be active in the sca again, and hoping at some point to find time to date. ;) enjoy my portfolio and ramblings, and Right now ths is an incomplete rough draft. eventualy the final will be at my other site www.scaarmor.com Joseph, aka Akira |

(my first armor work was several wisby coats of plate. actualy someone out there may have my first one black/grey crap leather over white barrel plastic, with red leather over plastic spaulders with a leather wolf on them. i'd like to get it back if it still exists) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
