20 Paintings - AM90, Dunks, AF1s

[kid zero nine]

just got done on these.
Dave White inspired paintings for a sneaker store here in brisbane called Laced.
dropping them off this afternoon.
worked with some classic color ways and also a few made up ones.
what do you guys think?

 

[dunks r nice]

wow dude dope stuff. did you jsut get the shoe template and like did certain colorways and threw paint on them. if so looks dope. should try it one time.

I understand you used Dave White's style, but IMO you should have been looser with the brush strokes. The clean in the line feeling followed by splatteredpaint doesn't really mesh well with me. .

The blue/carolina AF1 mid is starting to have that feel of a loose stroke so it goes with the thrown paint more. Good job nonetheless.

 

[whitmonster1]

good job, the thrown paint reminds me of jackson pollocks artwork

OneTrueSuol...thanks for the feedback man..much appreciated.

what i wanted to do was take the inspiration from how Dave White produces his work and mix it with how i paint my own stuff...

you can check out my deviantart site or my blog to see more examples of my work.

 

[tommys90]

wow that is some good stuff man..

 

[kid zero nine]

cheers man

 

[onetruesoul]

just checked out that art link in your sig...nice work, I roll that way too with my paintings, when I paint....I'm caught more into printmaking and graphicdesign work, but you got style.
What would have been cool for those sneaker paintings was to use your non-dominant hand, I did that for a live painting once and let me tell you it's awhole other world, interesting, but man its weird

Nice, I'ma post some of my paintings when I get the chance.

 

[damnneardeadstock]

you have some talent and you said you wanted it to look like it was inspired by Dave White. not trying to be a know it all or anything like that but maybeyou do half, like one part of the shoe have the way you paint and on another part of the shoe you can draw it loosely like Dave. just my thoughts

.
your paintings are

 

[kid zero nine]

thanks for the feedback guys...

mrshoeman - sounds good..maybe for the next series i'll try and work something like that. it's always good to get an outside perspective. thanks forthe kind words man.

nocomment6 - i've been painting and drawing for years (i'm 30). i also spend alot of time working in graphic design. with the painting, i'm stilllearning alot. with illustration, i'm very comfortable with my line style and character style. that's cool there are some paintings you don'tlike...i think it'd be a little weird if everyone liked everything all the time, you know what i mean?

Nice job, I especially like the ones that have a little more texture.

agreed. it looks like you worked real hard to make some nice neat paintings and just threw a bunch of paint everywhere for no reason. the looser brushstrokes would definately add some flavor. im not bashin your skills or anything, just some feedback

those are clean man, even if you used templates.

 

[masaro]

No offence, but really what is the point to reference something someone had done before....since you are not putting anything of yourself in it but rathertrying to establish someone else persona....

I hope you don't find me too critical but I just want to see you push this idea further but with YOUR OWN quality in it....
Plus maybe use a more subtle way to represent the sneaker quality instead of just doing a coloring book steez.

 

[kid zero nine]

surprised people are still replying to the thread... like i said, they were done for a sneaker store, the guys just wanted some decoration for the walls... weweren't trying anything new or groundbreaking, they wanted some sneaker art, i was able to provide a quick solution. and that solution worked. half of themhave been sold. the response to them from the sneaker heads in this city has been really positive. they see them for what they are...fun paintings.. i actuallydig the 'coloring book' reference...gives me some ideas for shirts. Cypress, that's cool man, you don't have to like them, and i don't takeoffense, and after checking your DA gallery, i can understand where you're coming from. makes no difference though. over the years i've gained anunderstanding of what works and what doesn't. if anyone was to go through any of my online galleries and ask me if any of the paintings are available, theanswer 90% of the time will be 'sorry, that one has been sold.' keep on!

oh, Masaro, no stress on the crit...i don't have any intention to push this series any further...it's done, i move on...plus, i prefer characters oversneakers when it comes to painting.

 

[eg23]

looks pretty cool..

 

[lukejgo]

I gotta agree with Cyprus... Not too impressed with the skill of these paintings. They just look like some really bad Dave White knock-offs

 

[dodadamnth1ng]

Nice

 

[page86]

they named their spot "laced"?

they never heard of the very well known boutique in boston of the same name?

:gasface:

 

[kid zero nine]
