humpfff.........

My customs activity has been kind of "dead" as of lately...
Too much work between music and graphic design hasn't allowed me to finish the sneakers "in hand", much less do anything new... Later on i'll post some of my sneaker designs for Kelme which will go on production and sale...

Finished a new pair of customized goodies... as requests are nothing but rare and slow, I've been choosing some old sneakers I got around and rarely use, to spark up a new life into them. New ones are an old pair of tennis classics nikes. they used to be white with navy blue sole. wait 'til you see what I did. MANTECA! next ones will be white and burgundy nike dunk low- ready to be transformed. I don't have the original state pics because i got carried away in customising and forgot to do it! Next post I'll be showing you the tennis classics. just wait and seeEEee!

different perspectives on the soul power air force 1's





ok, so, reaaaally soon...











Ok, these are my soul power air force ones.




I did a different face on each side panel, meaning, 4 faces of soul artists I really love.




You've got the James Brown panel, the Curtis Mayfield, the Isaac Hayes and of course, last but definitely not least, the only one of these four still alive, Stevie Wonder.




Soul Power!

dahdahdahdah....

Yesssssir!
finally, all my "on hands (and hands on too)" customizing works are done!
i've finished my souled out air force ones too!
i'll be posting all the pics from the pumas and the air force ones soon!

HELAS!!!!!!!

Finally, after lots of work, many hours with brushes on hand and a neck injury from being so much time bent over these sneakers, the Pumas are ready!!!! I'll post some pics after I deliver them to their rightfull owner and ask for his permission to say who he is after all...
All I can say is that they're lookin good and they're kind of "Tattoo inspired". Any guesses on who will get them?
PEEEEEEEEAAACEEEE

Finally


After lots of tries, I managed to get a pair of sneakers from a very well known soccer player to customize. He's sponsored by puma and these are the sneakers he gave to me. I've been hectily working on other stuff, but hopefully I'll have these ready when he comes from vacations.

I'm working on the theme right now.

Fresh to Def 15's

OH NO!!!!! HE DID IT AGAIN!!! pt 3


Huh-huh... Fresh to Def.

OH NO!!!!! HE DID IT AGAIN!!! pt2


And this is what they look like now... My apple green/turquoise blue Fresh to Def 15's!!! Ready for Spring!

OH NO!!!!! HE DID IT AGAIN!!!


I know you must be thinking I'm mad!!! But it's true, I did it!!! I managed to recover my old Jordans. From unwearable to the newest item on my own customized sneaker collection! These 15's were all torn by time. The outsole was yellow-ish as well as all the rubbers and plastics and the leather had its paint coming off... Instead of throwing them to the garbage, I took on the challenge of trying to bring them back to life. This pic shows what they looked like when I bought them.

O Monstro Criativo chegou de Braga

Obrigado a todos os presentes na apresentação da colecção Creative Monstah vs Skills, o saldo foi definitivamente positivo! E não falo de finanças, mas ter vendido 50% dos bonés em 3 horas parece-me mesmo bom (até em termos financeiros! :] )para o futuro deste tipo de iniciativas e outras colaborações possíveis entre o monstro criativo e a skills.
E ok, apanharam-me, estou a comunicar em português... Mas acho que não foi ninguém "estranja" à loja... Like Frankie I do it my way...
Uma privada: OH Chinês, lembra-te destas palavras: Headphones, WESC (sabes bem que mereço! lol). AIIIIIIIgHT?

Problemas linguisticos?!

A malta oriunda do meu país, falante da minha língua que me desculpe, mas não vou fazer os meus posts em português. Tenho a ambição de ter ambições internacionais (passo a redundância- que é propositada- eu sei português) e faz mais sentido fazê-lo em inglês. Podia fazê-lo bilingue, mas não há pachorra, nem tempo para isso. O inglês é universal e nós (malta oriunda do meu país, falante da minha língua) até temos bastante facilidade em percebê-lo e usá-lo para nossa expressão, portanto, inglês it shall be. Ainda pensei fazê-lo em matemática que é ainda mais universal, mas....
E se quiserem criticar este facto, pelo menos, usem a nossa língua convenientemente e falem português também!! Obrigado pelas visitas, voltem sempre, cumprimentos deste sócio oriundo do vosso país, falante da nossa língua, mas felizmente, poliglota.

Clean Spirit Sneakers 4 Skills Shop


This is a work in progress, my first comission job, for a Street Wear Shop- Skills.
Come check in a few days how the finished work will look like.

Subtle Camo


The only one posted here that is finalized (minus my signature tag), the others I guess I'm still adding a lil' some-something.

Air Force Ones


White and navy Air Force Ones and transformed them into my (until now) favorite ones! Dragon Skin "Long" Claws (Long means Dragon in chinese- that's what the character on this side means). The dragon skin is really engraved, not just painted on.
