The Bad Patch

The OG. The one that started it all. This was the very first design I ever created, pitched, and sold to RSVLTS. I wanted to give them something unique. At the time, The Bad Batch series had not yet been fully explored in apparel, and I had never seen a patch-style embroidered design applied to this format. Using Procreate, I created a custom brush that simulated thread. Each patch was built piece by piece in a painstaking process that required plenty of patience and a bit of eye-crossing concentration. I combined the elements with subtle drop shadows to create depth.
I always imagined this design as a convention exclusive and dreamed of one day seeing it displayed on the big blue RSVLTS wall. In 2025 I attended San Diego Comic Con for the first time, and about a year and a half later I finally saw it there alongside designs from many incredible artists. It was an unforgettable moment.
