  • About Us
Now my friends and family. 
I implore you. 
To do the opposite of me.
Keep on swimming you see. 
And when these fears and failings fill your mind.
My lover do not look behind.
Just push that little bit harder.
It is going to hurt dreadfully.
That I will not pretend.
But my darlings it will be worth it in the end.

The Guardian 

Picture
The Guardian was a custom drawing made for the man behind Dutch fashion brand YJLB. Jay told me a story about the guardian to his family, each component of the drawing representing something dear to him. He sent me some initial sketches and asked me to do the drawing in biro having seen some of my work done for By Doctrine.

Hand Painted Gucci Handbag Sneakers

The Gucci Sneaker is the second shoe created by YJLB. Based on the 'Bridge Builder' his first shoe. YJLB continued the idea of lacing through the sole. The body was made out of two newly purchased Gucci bags and then they were hand painted by myself using leather paint. I had a lot of fun painting these! Getting them as similar as possible was a challenge but the King Snake motif along with the shoes make such a beautiful piece I knew it was important to execute them accurately and cleanly.

Lots of tiny, tiny brushes involved in this one.
