safari

I had a request to think up a design with a safari print..for a girl & she likes red. The minute i heard the words " safari print" , fortunately, a design hit me almost instantly. The concept I had in mind was pretty interesting. I wanted the shoe to have a print where it looked "graphic" yet like the canvas was ripped/torn off like paper & exposed an under side with the safari prints.

So i made a rough sketch as a proposal for the customer-->
The customer gave the thumbs up & i went on to working on the shoe itself. THEN *car screeeeech!* i realized the work area on the shoe was smaller than expected & the name couldn't "sit" like in the sketch..instead it'll cover quite a portion of the shoe. I edited the colors as I went along & got a feel for the design on the shoe. I also altered the position of the prints as i worked on the shoe, so here's the result:

" Art is never finished, only abandoned"



I've recently taken an interest to typography more than i used to..& with more recent requests for me to design the customer's names on their shoes...I started sketching type designs & layouts. ALL hail "Miami Ink", those guys are crazy & thanks to that show, tattoo art have caught my interest as well. Here's one of the many sketches I just did in my trusty lil moleskin.

Stay tuned! I'll be coming up with a limited edition series of shoe designs & tee designs " tattoo inspired" ;) Better yet, let me update you...so sign up with me over on the left. (Preview)

XOXO

skull head & wings

It's been a while since I last put up something & just for the record...I'm still alive & kicking. LOL... What have I been up to? Well people, check the image on the left. I've started placing online advertisements about my shoe customizations & I've been busy with work as well as working on the shoe orders. Here's one order that I'm currently working on for a guy that caught my ad off www.mocca.com. He requested for a skull head & bat wings + a black cat. Inspired by the band "avenged7fold".


Here's the preliminary sketch.
