JPs SNEAKS

Ok, so truthfully these were the hardest pair of shoes I've done . . .

They began as a tiger fish (not sure what the shit I was thinking), morphed into a koi with a lillie pad ::barf::

And then at some point ended up transforming into a bad ass Octopus.

I'm pretty proud of these kicks and have since developed a love for our 8 legged/tentacled underwater friends (note: this love does not encompass their close cousin the Humbolt squid . . . but that's discussion for another day).

Hope their owner, a surf and snowboard team manager from Southern California, digs them as much as i do.

The Trout Project






These shoes were a really fun project. Chatham and I decided we wanted to do a pair for each other and settled on a trout design.

These were a design inspired from a painting I did for a bachelorette party - The ladies were taking a white water trip to celebrate and I was commissioned to paint and oar for the bride to be.











Enjoy! And email me at Charlotteskicks@gmail.com if you want to order your very own custom pair!
