Science-Fiction Leather Bandana — Art by Dom “Etienne” Orejudos
The story
This hand silk-screened bandana pairs an original circuit-inspired border by The Haunted Disco with archival erotic artwork by Dom "Etienne" Orejudos — a defining figure in 20th-century gay illustration whose work imagined leather culture through a science-fiction lens.
Featuring imagery from the Dom 'Etienne' Orejudos Collection, Leather Archives & Museum, Chicago.
Printed in deep black permanent acrylic ink on 100% cotton, each piece is hand-pulled in small batches in New York City. The border — drawn from vintage computer circuitry and control panels — frames Etienne's figures at the intersection of desire and technology: retro, prophetic, and unmistakably queer.
Wear it, display it, collect it. This is leather history as wearable artifact.
