Another Shoe

So my friend asked me to make him some shoes that had the American and Dutch flags on them. This is what I came up with...

Lincoln Woods

So I have been out of climbing for 4 months...but that doesn't stop be from taking photos of climbing outdoors! I took these photos last week and it was such a great day. It was my first time using my entire camera on manual and I think the photos turned out pretty good!

My Shoes Pt. 2

I made a new pair of shoes today! My brother gave my a new pair of vans for Christmas and I was so excited to make a new pair! My old pair is so worn out that I can fold them in half with ease. Like the other pair, this new pair has a bunch of black and white designs. Unlike the new pair, this pair had brightly colored arrows that are the primary colors we use everyday....well except for purple. I just like that color.

Like the other shoes, these are representing myself. However this time these shoes are really just representing me emotions as a whole. The arrows are used to show my direction. In many ways I know where I am going. In many ways I don't really know at all and am very confused. The primary colors used on the arrows represent that anything is possible. Different combinations of those colors can create any color seen by the eye. I think that it is important to show that the possibilities in life are endless. Each arrow also represents a path or a road. Just like the possibilities of colors, there are many decisions people make in life and many paths that they follow. The background of the shoes have my favorite india inked shapes and whatnot. This shows the craziness and creativity in my thoughts, emotions and actions.

I really like putting so much meaning into a design, especially one that I'm going to wear around everyday. It is like showing off a piece of myself to the world. It doesn't really matter if you like them or not because it has meaning to me. I'm pretty psyched on these shoes and am really happy with the way they turned out.

Characters

I like to draw cartoon characters. I really like to out a lot of emotion in their eyes to help their facial expressions. I think that cartoons should be funny and that you should be able to relate to the emotion the character is giving. I also think that you should be able to read their emotions easily and save the effort for laughing!

Here is a combination of cartoon characters I have compiled onto one page:
