## About Abstract & Graphic Designs

Before any paint touches your sneaker, I strip the factory finish and prep the leather so the art does not crack or peel when you walk. Whether it is a MotoGP-inspired geometric design or a nebula pattern, every detail is sealed to withstand daily wear.

### Why Your Customs Last
I do not just paint over the leather. The process starts with a professional deglazing to ensure the Angelus paints bond properly to the surface. For leather sneakers like Nikes or Adidas, I use a specific prep technique that allows the paint to flex with the material, preventing the ugly cracking you see on cheaper customs. Finally, everything is finished with a protective layer—matte, satin, or gloss—depending on the look you want.

### Graphic vs. Abstract
While I love painting characters, graphic work gives me the freedom to get creative with space.
* **Cosmic & Galaxy:** Think deep purples, vibrant blues, and splattered nebulas. I often add subtle details like celestial coordinates or Saturn rings to make it yours.
* **Geometric & Race-Inspired:** Sharp lines, bold color blocking, and patterns inspired by everything from MotoGP liveries to spirit animals.
* **Minimalist Branding:** Sometimes, less is more. Clean monograms, custom logos, or simple text overlays on the heel tab can completely change the aesthetic of a stock sneaker.

### Making It Yours
Whether you are planning a couple's set or just want to refresh your rotation, the design is up to you. You provide the base pair, I handle the art. Just keep in mind that custom work takes time. If you have a specific date for a gift or an event, hit me up a few weeks early.

## About Mel's Make

I am Mel, and I started out tagging walls before moving to sneakers, bags, and anything else I could get my hands on. I am obsessed with details—whether it is capturing the depth of a galaxy or lining up a geometric pattern just right. If you want gear that nobody else has, you are in the right place.
