Since 2012 I have been painting shoes. I began painting shoes because custom kicks just look cooler than regular shoes. Also, I thought it was pretty cool that I could make my shoes any color and any pattern I wanted. I never thought it would turn into a business, but it happens to be that other people enjoy cool, unique shoes, too.
As early as I can remember, I have considered myself an artist. It started with just a natural ability, and then I took private art and drawing lessons, design lessons, and took art class at school. I have managed to combine two of my hobbies into one passion: art and a love of sneakers. To make sure I am always up to speed on the latest trends in the sneaker design world, I follow many shoe blogs. Normally, in order for artists to be successful, they have to have a certain style. That is not my goal. My style is everything. I can fill any type of request, from the most generic to the most specific. But mostly, I just like thinking up ideas and painting my shoes over and over again.
