Featured Custom Hand-Painted Art & Accessories
From sneakers to luxury bags, I paint stories onto your most-loved items. See a few of my favorite projects where I’ve played with color, quirk, and canvas. ✨
This is one of my all-time favorite projects. I hand-painted 'The Great Wave off Kanagawa' on a blue Goyard duffle bag, transforming it into a piece of wearable art history. The detail required a lot of patience, but the result was so worth it.
For all the Manchester United fans out there. This pair of custom black Nike Air Force 1s features detailed portraits of Bruno Fernandes and Kobbie Mainoo, complete with the team crest. I use high-quality Angelus paints to make sure the art is durable and vibrant.
I absolutely love painting pet portraits. There's something so special about capturing your furry friend's personality. This custom Louis Vuitton card holder features a hand-painted portrait of a happy Golden Retriever named Simba, making it a truly personal keepsake.
Bringing the world of 'Ghost of Tsushima' to life on a PS5 console. This was a test of patience, working with acrylics on a new surface to create depth and texture. I'm so grateful to clients who trust my vision for these big, imaginative projects.
Here’s how I add a little color and quirk to a classic Louis Vuitton bag. This piece features a vibrant, hand-painted bee and colorful LV monograms. It’s all about taking something you love and making it uniquely yours.
This one is for my anime fans. I painted Satoru Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen on a pair of Palm Angels sneakers, even creating a 3D effect with the cut-out canvas. It’s so fun to bring powerful characters like this to life on custom kicks.
Throwback to a live painting event I did for the launch of BSA Motorcycles. I had the honor of creating a one-of-a-kind custom bike tank on the spot. It's always a little intimidating to paint live, but I love the energy and the challenge.
Sometimes the quirkiest ideas are the most fun. I turned this simple brown leather pouch into a hyper-realistic fried egg. It’s a perfect example of how we can add a bit of unexpected joy to an everyday item.
I thrifted this jacket and gave it a complete makeover. It's a custom hand-painted biker jacket with a red, black, and white colorway, covered in patches inspired by biker culture, from Monster Energy to a dripping smiley face.
Here’s a little peek into my process. This video shows the steady hand and tiny brush strokes it takes to paint a detailed pet portrait on a small LV card holder. Every piece is a labor of love, painted entirely by hand.
About Featured
People often ask if the paint stays on, especially on luxury leather bags or sneakers. The secret is in the prep work. I don't just slap paint on items. I strip the factory coating, use high-grade flexible paints like Angelus, and seal every layer so the art can actually handle daily wear. It is a bit of a process, but it keeps your custom piece looking sharp whether you are walking in them or carrying them every day.
I treat every item as a collaboration between us. Whether it is an LV bag or a pair of Nike sneakers, the goal is to make it look like the art was always meant to be there.
How I Approach Different Surfaces
- Luxury & Leather: I love taking classic luxury goods—like Louis Vuitton or Goyard—and giving them a personal twist. From a subtle bee motif to detailed pet portraits, I work with the leather’s natural texture so the final piece feels high-quality and durable.
- Sneakers & Tech: Turning a pair of Converse or a PS5 console into a canvas requires immense patience. I focus on bridging the gap between your fandom—like anime characters or sports teams—and functional, everyday objects.
- The Process: Every commission starts with an idea. For high-value items, I often provide digital mockups so you can see the placement before I pick up a brush. It is about trusting the process and ensuring the finish is right for the material, whether that means using heavy-duty varnishes for electronics or scratch-resistant sealers for footwear.
If you have a quirk, an idea, or just want to refresh something sitting in your closet, let's talk. I'm always looking for the next project that challenges me.
