We're so proud to present our sneaker collaboration with a contemporary artist that seeks to push all of the boundaries in his work through his use of bold color, innovative materials and provocative sayings.
From everywhere, be it a movie quote or a conversation I've overheard on the train. I am constantly listening and when something catches my ear I know I am going to end up drawing it.
What other disciplines/interests do you have that inform your art or process
Reading is probably the biggest interest that I have that informs my artwork as I am always looking for verbiage to draw.
Describe your work in three words
Provocative, beautiful and fun.
Which artist (living or dead) would you want to share a meal with & why?
I love Richard Prince and think we would have the best time together. Picking his jokester brain would be a dream of mine.
What advice would you give your 16 year-old self?
Stay patient and believe in yourself.
What made you want to collab with us?
I love the look of Cariuma sneakers and felt the shoes would be a great canvas for my artwork. The sneakers are the perfect mix of my verbiage and Cariuma's style. The shading as an ode to Brazil is the detail I really love.
