I learned early on that there is only one way to get good at something -- practice. So I used a prototype of Mockups, the unreleased art toy I developed, to sketch out a design for a Vans Classic Slip on. Once I had a plan, I took the design to an actual shoe. The outcome of that first shoe was good, but I knew I could do better, so I did it again -- and again. The custom I finally submitted to Vans for the Custom Culture Arts Program was displayed alongside shoes personalized by Conan O'Brien and Kristen Stewart and a ton of great artists. You can see their work here: Vans Custom Culture Ambassadors Slideshow
The custom shoe I created also appeared in this post at Juxtapoz.com, thanks to the the folks at Vans.
