fresh kicks
Illustrator CS3, December 2008
This past Christmas my parents offered to get me a new pair of shoes, because my old pair had become trashed. I decided that I wanted my own custom kicks, but most mainstream companies (like Nike or Adidas) only let you select the colors for the varying sections. The site I ended up going with at www.zazzle.com allowed me upload my own images. Unfortunately, Zazzle only provides shoes for women and children. I was able to get around this by choosing a more unisexual shoe and transposing my size in men's into womens.
The actual design that I came up with are several characters that I use in my comics and illustrations.
