Cosmos and Crayons Converse

Last week I blogged about an illustration I did for Ginge for her Birthday, well here's the second half of her present, some hand painted converse. I based the Converse on her Cosmos and Crayons blog, where she illustrates herself and Sloth and their adventures. I also painted a colourful solar system, because Ginge is a totally rad science nerd.

I now have a Custom Converse listing on my Etsy Shop for anyone wanted some hand painted converse.

High Top Bootception

Yo dawg, I heard you like boots, so I put boots on your boots so you can wear boots while you wear boots. Before you class me as insane from reading the last sentence, read this.

These designs are based on my High Top Boot pattern, because who wouldn't want shoes with shoes on?! They're inspired by Dr Martens, my fav kind of boot. I did these for my portfolio when I found out I had an interview for London College of Fashion, I also got the opportunity to show them to the lovely people at Dr Martens when I had an interview for their factory internship. I'm really happy with how these turned out. I love combining classic shoe designs with busy patterns. I think the lilac ones are my fav but I am a little bit biased towards anything lilac.

Happy (super late) Birthday Ginge!

It was Ginge's Birthday last month, and I forgot to share this until now. For her present I painted her some special Cosmos and Crayons themed converse (I'll post pictures of these soon!) and I made this derpy illustration of us both. You can tell I've been watching too much Adventure Time, because I can't stop doing AT style mouths.

I miss this girl a whole lot, she's the derpiest and bestest friend a girl could have. Check out her blog for her science facts and other creative goodness.

If you'd like your own derpy digital illustration you can get one here, just mention you want it in this style when you order. Contact me at ponychopsshop@gmail.com or message me at my Etsy Shop with any questions.

Piccadilly Boots - A design for Yull Footwear

A few months ago I entered a competition with Yull Footwear to design some British themed shoes. This was the first pair I designed, named Piccadilly, so I thought it was pretty apt to share these with you since I've only just moved to London. I wanted to capture the hustle and bustle of Piccadilly with the red buses. I also wanted to keep my bright and fun signature style, but to incorporate Yull's elegant, practical and classical style into the design too.
