K'CHA KICKS

vans
Shown here are most of the the Vans (excluding some duplicates) I've painted since September 2006.
Want a pair for yourself? Any design you can think of - favorite band, celebrity, sports team, movie, animal, whatever. I use high quality fabric acrylics and sealer, so the design will be durable and water/sun resistant. For lots more information, see the right panel, or check the FAQ. Newest pair shown at top:

SHOES FOR THE BLUES VANS >> CLICK HERE!

"Absolution"
Second Absolution-themed pair :) This isn't really a comment on the shoes but if you all want to hear the most incredible voice known to man *coughmattcough* then you definitely need to download these two bootlegs: Montreux Jazz Festival and Earl's Court the 20th. You'll thank me.

"Pooh and Ariel"
Awwww...these two pairs are really small :p ...and will probably be splashing though puddles the day they're put on haha

"Paradise"
Who doesn't love Hawaii? I'm usually not the best at landcsapes, but I really like these ones :)

"Zombies"
Not for the kids! (haha, they're sort of morbid...) These were for an really cool tattoo artist from Berkeley who also did an art project at the children's hospital. The design was my interpretation of his drawing (the guy in the red shirt is supposed to be him! ), and since 28 Days Later is my fave movie, I had some inspiration for the "infected"... Hope you like them Patrick!

"Hail to the Thief"
Some Radiohead ones for myself :) They still don't beat the OOS pair though <3 I was going to put the Wolf at the Door lyrics somewhere, but it was too busy. The back is my favorite part...oh, and you're pretty hardcore if you can find the word I changed...

"There's no buisness like... "
Again! :D You guys really like this design it looks like ! Well, so do I, so it's all good ;) New backs though. Before, I was doing them all black...

"Depeche Mode "
I'd heard of Depeche Mode before doing these ones, but had to go have a listen afterwards :) I hope the guys look pretty accurate, this was my first time seeing a picture of them. Also, you can see step-by-step how these progressed here.

"Cave"
There is a difference to these ones! They're more colorful on the sides, no angsty lyrics <3 Not that that's a bad thing...

"Knights"
...on my brick patio! They took a long time, but compared to how ehh looking my last painting of Matt was, these are much Museier ;) New adjective? I think so.

"Showbiz #4"
4th pair of showbiz vans :D

"SF 2100?"
I made these for Matthew because he is the master of style :) I tried to use that spacey/futuristic/apocalyptic vibe, but it came out sort of cartoony : / I guess they'd go with that red glitter guitar though lol. They're obviously really rushed but I had to show somehow that this was SF, so look closely! What the pictures don't show is that the grey is actually all silver paint, and it looks much sparklier in person.

pics were taken before the shoes were complete...these are 90% done!

"Origin of Symmetry"
The most perfect group of songs ever made. That's all there is to describe Origin of Symmetry. These are for a Muse fan in California; I loved these shoes so much I made a pair for myself too <3�

"TMNT #2"
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Yeah, haha I definitely watched this when I was 4. The one with the purple mask was my favorite I think.

"NK & Muse logos"
I can't pick a favorite cover :) I'm partial only to OOS because it's so amazing and the cover somehow doesn't portray that, which is why I love it so much. Does that make sense? The back of the shoes was a request from the commissioner; it's her tag.

"Glay"
I did these for Natsuki's birthday. It's her favorite Japanese band, Glay (which is supposed to say "Gray" but was misspelled intentionally, you know, the R/L thing in Japanese). This was my very first pair; I hope you like them Natsuki!
