It looks like the self-proclaimed โKingpin of Contemporary Embroidery” Jamie “Mr. X Stitch” Chalmers has discovered a new “manbroiderer” who, just like his embroidery subject, doesn’t mess around! His first stab at embroidery was this incredibly detailed portrait of Seven Seagal, an undertaking that he gave careful consideration before embarking upon.
First of all; letโs be clear, the choice of Seagal as a model was ironic, Iโm not that much of a fan. Itโs my wife that got me in cross stitching, she was making some cool stuff and I was like โhey why not start somethingโ. I didnโt take it seriously at the beginning but I quickly became an addict, that bloody thing is like a drug!
This new cross stitch convert simply goes by Pierre, and I certainly hope we’ll see more exciting embroidered works from him in the future, because as Steven Seagal himself put it, “Any great warrior is also a scholar, and a poet, and an artist.”
