Reached Kicks N Canvas last night, a sneaker arts exhibit put together by the guys at Soleheaven. 21 artists took part including INSA, Disco Teck, Trans1, Toaster and Goldie. Each artist was given a shoe and a canvas to do their thing on, and everything will be up for sale until the April 18th.
Was good to see sneakers represented on another level other than just footwear, and hope the guys at Soleheaven continue along these lines pushing sneaker culture through these kind of events and allowing creative individuals to showcase their work with the same passion for kicks as one another.
Behind the scenes at Jeff Koons very BIG studio/factory…the secret behind his success?? Being able to delegate work effectively and carry out his vision in a straight forward manner, no hidden meanings or anything, it is what it is on first glance…in my opinion, one of the smARTest artists out there!
Architecture+Technical Design+Nike = Tinker Hatfield…I am a fan. I came across this clip and thought wow! This guy switched up the basic running shoe template and gave it something totally new and original. The idea to have the air bubble visible is mos def thinking out the box and has become one of Nike’s trademarks to date. The fact that he tried something different and went against the grain is over inspiring as that’s what makes you stand out from the crowd and get recognised for your sheer brilliance. The creative thought process is a beautiful thing, and Tinker outlines everything from his inspiration to the finished masterpiece…enjoy!
