My wife's been shooting a little series of skateboarding photography for a project at work and it inspired me to make this short little video for fun...

Custom Toms Shoes Design by BP Illustration

I am proud to announce the opening of my Etsy shop where I will start by selling custom hand-drawn shoes with my artwork.  I am taking on a new venture as a way to spread my art and create awesome pieces.  I really enjoy drawing on tangible items and one day started drawing on my wife's shoes to give them some more personality.  I very much support the Toms Shoes company mission of One-for-One and love what a great canvas they make. 

I want to create custom pieces based on the customer's ideas.  You give me your idea, whether it be a color, animal, name, etc. and I use my talent and concepts to design a beautiful custom pair for only you.  These make great gifts and can be given to men, women and children!

You can find my store located here:

Sneak Peek at what's in the works...

After much support from my family and friends, I have decided to take on a new venture in life.  This is just a sneak peek of what's to come, more info about how you can be wearing your own custom pair of shoes will be announced soon!

Cheers,

BP

Explore a little

I was able to tag along to the Exploratorium where my lovely wife is photographer. She was shooting an event and I was there with my sketch book walking around drawing various exhibits and fellow explorers. I drew fast that day and only came out with these two images that were finished enough for my likes. I did get a lot onto paper though and many of these quick sketches have sparked mt imagination for future drawings!

 There were a series of these things all various sizes. They were part of an exhibit where you try to bounce a small ball through these various hoops.

This was just as it seems. There was a giant blue nose at one exhibit. I'm not sure what the exhibit was for but its always good to draw human anatomy and I had a huge nose right in front of me to practice!
