Wendell

This is Wendell. I've posted his picture before. Most people think he's a crazy homeless guy, but he actually lives with his brother. He's a cutting edge fashion designer working with found bits and dollar store stuff and some of it's pretty innovative.

His hat is made from silky scarves, coiled and sewn to a cap base, his necklace is made from golf balls and his jacket has printed fabric dollars appliqued to the surface. The back of the jacket says "My Autograph is Worth MILLIONS"

He's really a cool guy. Fearless, friendly, creative... he treads that line where society judges him as "whacko".

But then again, they never stop to talk to him.
