Meet Shoekids: My Collection Of 24 Tattoos That Bring My Characters Into The Real World

One of the most exciting chapters of my journey has been creating a series of original characters called Shoekids. I’ve been drawing them for about a year now, and watching them come to life has been surreal. Each one has its own little personality and story, and people have really connected with them, which means the world to me.

The Shoekids started as simple sketches but have grown into a recognizable universe that I now express through tattoos, art prints, and (hopefully soon) clothing and animation.

Focusing on Shoekids has helped give my work a consistent identity, especially since I work in so many different locations. But at the end of the day, it’s always about connecting with people and turning their ideas into something meaningful they’ll carry forever.
