With customizers these days doing work for celebrities as well as these major shoe labels I think that it is obviously becoming more commercial but for the majority of well known unsigned sneaker artists the passion for shoes and customizing is there regardless.

Guys have been painting on their sneakers since the dawn of time but since the creation of sneaker forums, documentaries, TV series, magazines and guys getting signed to major labels for collaborations, it has really brought the art form into the forefront of sneaker culture.įor the scene in general, it seems to me that it is becoming slightly more commercialized, maybe Im biased being a customizer but it is not uncommon to see something on a customized sneaker and then there be a release by a major brand many months later in a similar style. I think the customizing world has largely been underground for a very long period of time. That will be mad! Being involved in the custom scene and connecting with people from around the world, what is your opinion on the custom scene? Now that its getting large globally with big collaborations and all. There will be well over 300 pairs of shoes on display from all eras and brands as well as customs by fellow Australian AstoriaVIII.

It is running till July 8th I believe, its a free exhibition as well so if anyone is in the area, check it out. With the National Gallery exhibition, how long does the exhibition go for? Great, sounds like you got your hands full.
#Daylight hallucination update#
In the very near future however there will be a website update with about 5-6 new pairs, so you can check out some of the new work on there. There is also going to be an exhibition in the National Gallery of Victoria starting in December that will be exhibiting seven pairs of my works including some of my more recognizable designs such as the Daylight Hallucination LeBron IIs and the Rupture Air 180s.
Some stuff for local sneaker stores should be in the works as well as shoes with customizers from America such as Mache, that I am looking forward to. The next few pairs I am working on are mostly orders but there is some cool stuff in the works, which should turn out really nice and will be very different to what we usually see, once they are completed there is all sorts of things on the cards. What are some of the new pieces you have been working on? Anything you can let us know the details about? Its good that you got variety of canvas to work on. When you have guys who are signed to big labels to compete with, you just have to try and make yourself stand out. To stay in the minds of people you really have to keep evolving as well as experimenting with new things so Im just trying to take it to the next level. Oh, so we can expect some play with material perhaps?Īlready looking into it as well as a few new things I have in mind, being into graffiti and painting, stitching and material work is not something that I am entirely confident with so its taking a bit of research but thanks to a few fellow customizers I should be on top of it in the near future. I think as long as my style keeps evolving the way it has from the start hopefully all will be good. In the future I definitely want to keep working into my designs the little characters, symbols and quirky things that make my customs different as well as possibly using different mediums and materials. I think guys these days are expecting the brighter and outside the square stuff from me, which is cool because I enjoy doing that stuff, but there is a thin line between hitting the mark and making it look un-wearable. What is the direction you want to head in the future in terms of your style?
Right, you got a solid style now and with every piece you do, there seems to be an improvement or a refinement. I just try and be as creative as I can and put stuff onto shoes that guys dont usually do. Style wise I think it might be hard to define. Im not into spinning out a custom every second day, I would much rather put 20-30+ hours into something and make it more impressive with detailed little characters or hidden words and messages. What would you say your style is now compared to your early days? Your style is becoming more detailed lately.ĭefinitely, I appreciate anyone who puts time into their work and hence thats what I try and do.
Yeah because you have sprung out only recently and have done some amazing work.
