Honesty strikes the right 'Cord'

last week I spent my evenings painting a pair of modern Chuck Taylors. I say modern as they had way more eyelets than usual as well as a few more stripes. Funky shoe though. The customer goes by the name 'Cord' and is lucky enough to receive these kicks as a gift from his cousin.

The bubble writing is very reminiscent of 80's graffiti and is a favourite of many High school artists. In this case I felt it would make a bold, retro statement.

Cord, enjoy your new kicks!

Squishy Skulls

This is the latest in my Honesty Sneaker Series. Ive entitled it Squishy Skull.

Its really refreshing when a client comes to me with an original idea for a shoe. In this case the client wanted a 'tentacally skull'. I was like 'ahhh ok cool'.

After a few sketches, some paint and a heat gun...this was the end result.
