Jimi Hendrix Costume Tribute

THIS PAGE IS UNDERGOING CONSTANT CONSTRUCTION.

I did this sketch/study and ended up using it in my interview to Design the costumes for a movie about Jimi Hendrix. I got the position, and it was one of the most interesting things I’ve ever done.

Dear Jimi,

Thank you for your music! Also, your clothes were outstanding.

It’s an historical thing. There’s archive footage, there’s documentaries and there’s real life, but there’s only one Movie ever made about Jimi Hendrix.

It’s a crazy thing, but I designed the costumes for that movie. Even crazier, I survived it. I love everyone I worked with on this movie. Thank you Showtime.

Here are 2 pics Of Jimi at Woodstock that I pulled off Google images.
