Original Painted Prince Jacket
This hand painted jacket, was created by artist Joseph Namsinh. It was originally painted as a gift to give to Prince so that he might wear it to promote the artwork. This Prince jacket consists of 10 sections which were carefully painted, and represents a decade of Prince's earlier album covers. Each section shows the unique style from the albums FOR YOU and DIRTY MIND to PURPLE RAIN and SIGN O' THE TIMES, thru his latest album at that time, GRAFFITI BRIDGE (on the back of the jacket). His portrait is the centerpiece of the entire jacket.

Prince was given the jacket by his main dancer, Damon Dickson in 1993 at Prince's downtown club called Glam Slam, where he performed a special concert one night. The artist's sister was also a dancer for his band. Three years later, the jacket was sent back to the original artist Joseph Namsinh. Rumor has it, the jacket was on display at Prince's museum in Paisley Park (his record label studios). With its unique history, this work of art would be a great piece of memorabilia for a true Prince fan!
