Lucky Devil begins with an original vintage US Army OG-107 M-1951 field jacket from the Korean War era. A garment once built for discipline and survival is reimagined as a singular art object by Fly Art Atelier in California.
The back features a winged tiger suspended above a fading crown — a symbol of instinct rising beyond authority. The figure does not attack. It ascends. Power without permission.
Layers of paint splatter create controlled chaos across the military green surface. Embroidery and textile collage elements interact with the aged cotton, responding to the history already embedded in the fabric.
The painted composition is applied by hand by Vladimir Mukhin, while the garment itself is developed and assembled within the Fly Art Atelier practice.
No stencils.
No duplication.
The composition evolves directly on the garment, guided by texture, wear, and structure.
This is not customization.
This is transformation.
One-of-a-kind piece.
Created at Fly Art Atelier.
