✚ Welcoming Reverend Gomez Riviera to the Chaos Choir

Tarot Card. Stay tuned for more context!!!!
Tarot Card. Stay tuned for more context!!!!

If you’ve ever unwrapped a relic from Double Wide and smelled real leather, if you've ever felt the edge of something crafted too clean to be casual, you’ve already been blessed by Reverend Gomez Riviera.

You might know him as Terry. I know him as a brother. A craftsman. A driver of faith. A man who shouts “IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!” right before he punches a hole clean through hide like he’s baptizing it.

Today, I want to formally welcome him to the Chaos Choir.



🔻 The Leatherworker of the Fold

Terry’s leatherwork is top notch. No shortcuts. No filler. Every cut, every stitch, every finish—done with intention. Whether it’s a sheath, a patch, or something that just smells like the old world and feels like truth—he’s behind it.

But more than that?

He believes. He believed in this site, this vision, this strange neon-lit chapel I’ve been building out of hanks, blades, and signal static.

When I felt stuck, Terry was already two steps ahead. When I was second-guessing, he was shouting “JUST SEND IT!” before I even finished doubting. That kind of belief? That keeps the gears turning. That’s ministry.



🕯️ Why He’s Choir Now

The Chaos Choir isn’t just for artists. It’s for pillars. People who see what we’re doing and lend their strength to it. Terry’s been doing that from day one.

  • His craft uplifts the work

  • His voice anchors the madness

  • His faith makes me move when I want to sit still

There’s no Double Wide without people like him in the background holding up the rig.



So next time you hear “IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!” in the middle of a product drop or see a sheath too perfect for the timeline it lives in—know that the Reverend was here.

Thank you, Terry.


 Welcome to the Choir.


 Let’s keep building.
