My SuitCoat Design

So I started designing this coat after my seminar. It has taken 4 months to complete. It started with an idea that Jonathan talked about to put artwork on jeans.

I found a suitcoat at the thrift store and took it to a tailor. I had them put in purple behind the collar and some in the lining. Then i commissioned the artwork based on my designs. Here it is. The pics don't do it justice but it is pretty kicking. When i was in San Francisco and Ann Arbor these two weekends i couldn't go 10 feet without someone opening me to ask me about it..

That is really cool. What kind of technique did you use to put the artwork on? Screen-printing?
