Custom
Kicks book by Maki
I was included in the
great new book Custom Kicks by Maki
Customizing is hot. Everything can be customized; from pimped cars to
retro furniture. This major trend is
especially popular in footwear. Customizing your own shoes is a way of
stepping out of the crowd, of showing
your personality. Just about every sneaker brand has found a way to put
street art into their products; rain boots
have never been more hip; and there are even customizing festivals and
exhibitions. Showcasing the work of 150
artists and illustrators who have been invited to show/create customized
shoes, the book will appeal not only to
sneaker freaks, fashion fetishists and trend watchers, but also to the
graphic-design and art audience. The text
examines the trend and asks: how did it start? What materials do the artists
use? There are also tips and tricks
on how to create your very own unique shoes.

Illustrations
for Plan B Magazine
I did illustrations
for 2 issues of Plan B Magazine.
Plan B builds on the success of editor-in-chief Everett True's acclaimed
previous magazine Careless Talk Costs
Lives, extending its coverage to champion counter-culture in literature,
film, comics, videogames and the visual
arts. Confrontational without being cliquey, Plan B is part of a cultural
underground that looks outwards.
