 The unnamed driver from the Los Angeles-set film Drive is fully geared up with his classic ensemble. His jeans were once worn by myself, though in a much larger size. His shirt is from a pair of thermal pants I have had in the back of my drawer for probably 25 years... His jacket is a fairly more complex piece of design as it utilizes a silver outer shell, lined with black velvet fabric and a zipper from a sweatshirt I got while working retail at the local mall back in 2006. The infamous scorpion on the back of the jacket has been drawn, cut, glued, and painted on in agonizing slowness, because the yellow fabric was so fickle to work with. But I digress! His hair is cut from that same poor old werewolf mask and has been gelled to look ever-so slick! The hammer he uses to smack criminals around is made from a few items I found around the workshop: paintbrush (naturally), pencil, and small pieces clipped from that wonderful wooden paint stick. When glued together in precise fashion and painted the proper colors you would never think it was anything but his deadly hammer! Fun fact: The "street" below the Driver's feet is actually coarse sandpaper painted to look like pavement!
