Science-Fiction Leather Bandana — Art by Dom “Etienne” Orejudos

Step into a world where leather meets laboratory — where the hum of machines syncs with breath, restraint, and imagination.

This hand silk-screened cotton bandana pairs an original, circuit-inspired border by The Haunted Disco with a central archival illustration by Dom “Etienne” Orejudos, one of the most celebrated artists of 20th-century gay erotic illustration. His vision of futuristic masculinity blurs the line between flesh and technology, reframing leather culture through a science-fiction lens that feels both retro and prophetic.

Featuring imagery from the Dom ‘Etienne’ Orejudos Collection, Leather Archives & Museum, Chicago.

Printed in deep black permanent acrylic ink on soft 100% cotton, each bandana is individually hand-pulled in small batches in New York City. The border echoes vintage computer circuitry and control panels, visually suspending Etienne’s figures between human desire and mechanical precision — an archival erotic artwork translated into a wearable artifact.

Whether styled as a neckerchief, pocket flag, wall display, or collector’s textile, this piece carries the charge of queer sci-fi fantasy and leather history, rendered with museum-grade respect and contemporary graphic clarity.
