"What Moves You" Vans

I was recently approached by my good friends at The Movement Lifestyle to do up a pair of Vans and a matching skate deck for display in their newly opened retail store. I instantly fell in love with the project A) The ML logo is so simple yet effective, I feel it compliments my personal (minimalist) style, and B) Because I was asked to do something I had never done before. A skate deck!!! I always love a good challenge, and was to be honest blown away at how "factory" it came out. (seriously surprised myself a bit)

As always, all the painting done to both the shoes and the board was done freehand with a brush. For the first time ever I feel like I probably could have painted the board with a stencil, but in order to ensure that all the colors were the same throughout I decided to stick to what I'm good at, and brush the whole thing.
