SNEKRS - Ballerinas Series 1

2008-01-18T16:48:00.000+08:00

Intro
So this is it. SNEKRS very own ballerinas collection.
Series 01 is somewhat experimental. The design of the three ballerinas are entirely random without a common theme. Series 01 was in its own way important and revolutionary to future Series and designs.

The Designs

The Fees

Size Range: 30-40

Price for each design: $20

Registered Mail fee: $3.50

Total: $23.50 (recently fixed)

Design Available

SKULLS & SAKURA 3/5

PIRATE! 5/5

FLORAL 5/5

Just for our customers

Every ballerina produced is done with sincere effort. Every stroke and outline is carefully made and catered to each pair.
Because each ballerina has its own unique canvas, we try our best to keep the overall design similar but vary the smaller details in each piece. As such, every ballerina that was produced has its own "flavour",flaws and perfection. Think of each ballerina as a piece of art, you will definitely appreciate it more when you wear them out.

How to clean

We finish every pair with layers of fixative spray. The fixative serves to protect and prevent the design from fading. Cleaning each ballerina comes simple with just wiping it with a wet cloth, sponge..etc.

Interested? Drop me a mail at donchd@gmail.com, and state your preferred design, shoe size and your mailing address. Transfer of funds will be discussed via email.

SNEKRS - 1st custom for 2008!

2008-01-01T11:32:00.000+08:00

Hey guys, I wish everyone a happy new year.
Dedicated to your eyes and Bryce's feet is this pair of custom sneakers.

Bryce wanted a custom sneakers with designs of "ice coffee and smiling babies"

No way am i going to put that combination on a sneakers, besides i cant draw humans.

So i came up with swirly designs painted in brownish colours. (Doesnt it look like coffee being stirred in milk?) Anyway its an attempt to give it a lil vintage look.

SNEKRS - CUSTOM TOY!

2007-12-26T09:42:00.000+08:00

SNEKRS - Custom Box Toys

2007-12-21T09:32:00.000+08:00

My lil attempt at custom toys.

This 7cm badass is made out of the front and back cover of a magazine.

I glue the cover on 10gsm plain white paper to thicken it up.

Painted the design before cutting it and fixing it up.

Took about 2hours to finish this.

All done for the sake of pure fun. Enjoy.

CONVERSE Foot Fetish Fest Competition

2007-11-04T20:07:00.001+08:00

Converse held a design-a-shoe competition in October. Contestants have to design a classic Converse Chuck Taylor. The top 3 design will have to design and complete a 1.5 Giant Shoe from 2 to 4 Nov. All customs will be on display from now till 11 Nov at Junction 8 Atrium LvL 2.

Top 20 Designs (in no particular order) (full view is highly recommended)

*Forgot to take my shoe on display so i had to fill the space with one taken before the submission

Here are more pictures:
Top Prize went to a Team of 2 with "Las Vegas/Broadway" as their theme (top left)
They won $3000 Converse Voucher (OMG!) and a 2 days 1 Night Stay at Ritz-Carlton

*off to spend my $100 Converse Voucher.

The flip side of the Other Converse

2007-11-03T22:27:00.001+08:00

The Flip side of the other Converse shoe (see below)

A great shot of baby blue in this custom. Because Converse decides to smack its logo in the middle of the shoe, there is really very little space to work with.

Went simple and threw in all the characters i have from before.

Going down to J8 to collect my $100 Converse Voucher tomorrow.
Got Consolation Prize for the Converse "Foot Fetish" Competition.
All Sneakers will be on display in J8 till 11 Nov 07.

2007-10-25T21:00:00.000+08:00

Sleese Slip Ons ftw!

Up for Grabs

2007-09-30T12:13:00.000+08:00

Another one done up. Was trying a combination of colours. Almost the same concept as Custom`11. Well, if any one of you like this piece do notify me. Of course the price is always negotiable.

Meng Brothers

2007-09-30T12:11:00.000+08:00

These 2 designs were done up for Meng Yeow and his Brother.
Thanks for the support. Hope you guys digg those customs.

More Designs

2007-09-30T12:03:00.000+08:00

More designs were made. The customisation continues. These 2 designs are done for friends.
Custom`10 was done up for Shawn
Custom` 11 was done up for Jin Yi.

And Then Came ZIG!

2007-09-30T11:52:00.000+08:00

"ZIG PAINTY MARKER". These markers are badass. They won't fade and are very much waterproof. With markers as my main tool, I can finally put those toothpicks in my mouth.
There was a birth of colours when ZIG was discovered.
Custom`08 was a dope traditional KOI design which i did for my mum.
Custom`09 is my current sneakers.

The First Few Designs

2007-09-30T11:30:00.000+08:00

These are my first few designs. During the course of these designs, I experimented on different markers/paint types. Customs` 02 was done using "SYNTHETIC HIGH GLOSS PAINT' and toothpick (took me a few days to complete it).
Customs`03/04/05 was done using "ZEBRA TWIN TIP MARKERS" which sucks bigtime, these 3 pairs visited the Sneakers Graveyard with faded designs on their canvas.

And then the blog site was created.

2007-09-30T11:22:00.000+08:00

30 September 2007. The day i created this blog to house the collection of customs I have done.
Currently, most of the customs you see here are sneakers and slip ons. Hopefully, things get a move on and more stuff get customised.
Feel free to browse around this site and drop a comment if you like any of the designs.
Some of the stuff are for sale, will be very grateful if you choose to purchase them. Otherwise they are all for your viewing pleasure.
