(KIXPO 2011 poster)

I was very fortunate to receive an invitation to appear showcasing my sneaker customs at the annual KIXPO 2012 in Texas USA.

Hopefully if everything goes well, I will be there in July.

For all the sneaker heads out there, it's a must see if you are in the US around July this year.

Stages: MICKEY in a MASK

Due to numerous requests, I've written up a brief overview detailing the process from the design to the finished stage of these customs.

MICKEY in a MASK

2010-09-29T01:59:00.016+10:00

I created 2 customs under the name Venom. This time for these Dunks, I've wanted to design something that can paint the Venom effect more clearly so I designed it like a story. The black drips and the red pattern depicts the Venomous gas. The two unmasked mickeys near the toe box have already been suffocated by the Venom gas, the other two masked mickeys at the back of the shoes are protected from the Venomous mickey hands (a depiction of the Venom gas).

Base:

Venom

2010-02-23T23:00:00.014+11:00

First pair of customs in 2010

Also the first pair of my customs that will be sent overseas.

Given the colour of the base, i immediately wanted to use a crazy colourway combination in designing these.

I wanted to stir up a feeling that you have to either absolutely love the colours or you absolutely hate the colours.

"the blue venom is injected and it slowly spreads across the entire shoe...."

Exams are over, finally completed a pair of customs.

She likes a simple design, so i came up with these. I combined a detailed pattern with a simple layout.

A Gift

2009-08-13T00:24:00.009+10:00

Its been awhile since i last posted...it has been busy times

This is my latest custom, however this time its something different. I decided to experiment with infant shoes, customizing them into gifts. In this I've added extra bits such as the bow tie, the shiny parts instead of following the traditional path of using just brush and paint.

This is the first gift pack, if all goes well, there will be many to come.

New logo

2009-03-04T14:26:00.003+11:00

From 09, this will be the new logo for the upcoming designs that is related to the Magician or any similar type of art work by hziii. The Magician 2 (under) is the first customs to use this new logo.

Magician 2

2009-03-03T22:43:00.013+11:00

The beginning of many Magicians

Envy

2009-03-01T00:31:00.001+11:00

Poison with Envy: the sequel

The sequel to Poison

The theme for this custom is "Envy". The colors Lilac and Black is used to represent the nature of "Envy". The depiction starts from the back of the shoe, where the lilac slowly changes gradually to the toe box and becomes full black. The lilac represents the start, envy is conceived and begins to grows in a humans heart and when it becomes full black, shows the action of evilness a human will take when envy takes over them.

The patterns in the middle section between the lilac and the black shows the complexity of envy. This part represents the process of the human mind and the struggles of what they are thinking when envy starts to grow.

Magician

the masked Magician

This is the character that I’ve created, it’s a silhouette of a magician wearing an oxygen mask. The idea of the mask was from a famous magician called “the masked magician” which I was a fan of from young. I wanted my magician to be unique from the stereotypical view of magicians by others, so he wore an oxygen mask instead of a fancy looking mask (something like the mask from the phantom of opera) to achieve this objective.

Adidas Stan Smith: Poison

2009-01-08T15:02:00.002+11:00

These are the first customs painted in 'o9.

The dominant black poison is slowly dissolving the minty colour causing it to spread around the whole shoe. The pattern was inspired by the effect of a drop of ink or dye dropped into a glass of water.
