Here is my entry into the FOOTLOCKER ART PRIZE 2011. Long story short, it's a AUS$50,001 art prize, where your canvas is a sneaker. Various style are available, but you have to follow the template. My choice was the classic Chuck Taylor. I hope you like it.

My collaboration shirt is up for sale now, part of the high end SELECT range at Threadless.

The credit for the concept belongs entirely to my good friend Ross Zietz, who ask me to work some pencil magic on this illustration, part of the Select's Nautica themed range. I worked completely in reverse, using black heavy graphite where pure whites would be, and vice versa. When the artwork was printed in white ink on a blue shirt, you get the above result. I am stoked with how it turned out!
