Hey NT, I've got alot of free time this summer so I've decided to take on a few projects.  One of the things that I am toying around with is starting a blog following small oil paintings I'll do of sneakers.  The idea is to paint a small study every day with varying subjects, ie; beat up boots...

Hey NT! I've been around the boards a few times with art posts.  In this economy, I'm trying to make it based solely off my artwork.  That means putting 100% into it every day, with no fallback.  This can be an unnerving way to live, but whatever, its worth it.  I'm up for a competition to...

Hey NT, For those of you that don't know, I'm a painter from Boston, MA. Over the past year I've started to pursue a living through my art work alone.  It's been a long tough road, but things are looking good with a few shows coming up and a solo show on the horizon. I've got a few...

Hey NT, So a few weeks ago I picked up a pair of Nike Mags, the only sneaker I ever wanted.  The problem is, I just can't wear them around like the beaters that I casually slip on every day.  I used my ebay bucks and copped a pair of Radii high tops and have started to turn them into a poor...

I just didn't like the shade of red on my white/red 6s so I added another tone.  Almost infared, not quite. Lemme know what you guys think!

Hey NT, just thought I'd post one of my new paintings, the first of my new series based on sports icons. The one below is titled " Judgemental Tempermental ", and is of Larry Bird and Ted Williams, both deformed from incidents pertaining to their lives.  To check out more, please visit my site...

I've been offered a pretty solid show in Boston coming up in a little over a month.  I wouldn't mind seeing some work from area artists, post some pics from your portfolio or a link and I'll take a look.  If I like your style, we can work from there and I'll provide more descriptive information...

I'm always scoping around for a good deal, but this was definately a fun one. I bought a pair of OG DS Nike Air Trainer SC size 9 mens,  OG DS Nike Air Tech Challenge size 9 mens, OG DS Nike Air Trainer Hurache size 9 mens, OG DS Nike Duellist size 9 mens, and a1987 Coretz size 8.5 womans. For...

Heads up NT, no pics as of this minute, just throught I'd share a tip. I was restoring a pair of 2000 infared 6s and needed to mix paint to aquire the correct shade of infared.  I found a mixture that is 100% dead-on.  With some taping and minimal paintbrush handling skills you too can use...

The best original movie with " return " in the title.

Was bored so I whipped these up pretty quick, had the base shoe for a long while.

Hey NT, I started an art blog for an upcoming project with FooTraffik, a sneaker boutique in Saugus, MA. The project requires the artists involved with it to create a blog or video blog to show who we are as artists, kind of a spotlight thing. There is a charity involved, but I'm thin on the...

EDIT : CLEARER NEW PICS Yo NT, I havent posted any customs in awhile, I've been working alot with traditional surfaces and whatnot. These dunks are inspired by the " Gonzo " theme that was portrayed in Hunter S. Thompson's works. The base was a black and orange pair of 6.0s. For those of you...

I've been going through my pics seeing what I have from years past, and I came across far too many pictures of sneakers that aren't mine anymore. Forone reason or another they are all sold. My collection has gone through way too many ridiculous stages, I've had OG white/grey Jordans 1s, True...

I did these for a friend of mine who's been helping us out at the shop. Nothing crazy, just a nice, simple custom. Dude's name is Will andhe's a Jr. so I thought I'd switch it up a little and do " Will the 2nd " on the shoes. The lace tips are half his name and half black. These took a few...

EDIT : PICS ADDED ON A FEW POSTS DOWN. Hey there NT. Do you remember back when, way back when shoes lit up and had pumps in them? Everything looked straight out of the future. Remember playing horse when you were so small that every shot was pretty much inside the paint? How about wearing your...

Whats up. I just thought I'd post the most recent pairs of customs I've done. Sorry about the first pic, it's re-sized so it looks a little jagged.These were my second attempt of using angelus paint after a year or two of using acryllic and whatnot. I call these " Venom Attacks " vandals...
