Floral Designs

7 09 2009

I have been experimenting with a few designs that involve a little more thought than the regular posts you see on here. I saw a pair of maroon and brown Stan Smiths once and I have built the first design around what my memory can recall of them. The second, well….I have used brown again but brightened it up with a baby blue trim. Let me know what you think, there are more of these kind of designs ready to be posted through the day.

“Squirtle Squirtle”

4 09 2009

Here ya go people! An update of the super old and drab Squirtle design some of you may have seen knocking around a while back on my myspace page. Well, let me know what you think anyway, I think it’s an improvement!

Superman & Yoshi

1 09 2009

I was going to post these two seperately but I think I can cram it all in one! Just two really simple designs, both taken from the Requests page. The first is Yoshi, a simple character design on the back of the shoe, then the colour scheme taken from the character colours. The second is again really simple, this one is of the Superman logo. I am thinking of a Superman design going from a suit to red and blue outfit, front to back, black and white to red, blue and gold!?!?

The Simpsons

1 09 2009

So, it is early Tuesday morning and I have had a nice Bank Holiday weekend, but as soon as those clocks struck midnight, I was back to work. Here is the first installment of three posts coming at you in quick succession. Lets begin with The Simpsons (go on sing it like they do in the theme tune), this has been requested a few times and a recent post on the Requests page urged me to carry it out. This is what I came up with, it is based on the artwork of a limited  edition set of simpsons stamps released in the USA.

R2D2s COMPLETED

20 08 2009

Well they’re finally here, the first set of Brass Monki hand crafted sneakers which many of you watched me creating over the past 2 days via LiveStream. Take a look at the actual photographs below (you can click on it to get a high res. image), and compare them with the photoshopped image below. Let me know what you think by writing in the comments box at the bottom of the page.

I have also been thinking about making each design a “one-off”, which will be a single exclusive reproduction of the digital design. Again, please let me know your views by commenting on this post.

Castle Crashers

16 08 2009

I LOVEEEEEE Castle Crashers and the artwork is so cool and simple, I am currently working on a Castle Crashers Qee design…that’s how much I love it! So, after a recent request, I have designed a pair of trainers around it. The bright colours seem to work and I think I may make a pair of these for myself to go with the Qee!

Bidding War – Let the bidding begin!

4 08 2009

Okay people, I’m starting the bidding at £150! GO!

Hello everyone. Whilst there has been a lot of interest and hype concerning my designs, at the end of the day, there is only me here, so I am limited to what I can physically produce in the limited time available to me. I know lots of you out there would love to own a pair of my designs, so tonight we are going to make that fantasy reality for one of my lucky followers.

Through the power of the internet, my work seems to have caught the imagination of people all around the world and I really love creating these images for you. Here’s just few sites from around the world that Brass Monki has been featured on. migre.me, www.destructoid.com, www.ufunk.net.

Tonight, for some fortunate individual, I propose to convert the digital image of my work into a bespoke piece of original artwork which will be totally unique, as it will be the first pair of Brass Monki customized sneakers ever to carry my very own personal signature. Judging by the demand for my work, these could probably sell for double on ebay by the time you receive them!

Bidding will run this evening for 3 hours from 21.00 hrs to midnight, UK time. The highest bidder will receive ANY pair of customized sneakers that they choose to select from the extensive portfolio shown on my blog.

HOW DO I BID?

You can bid by entering the amount you are willing to pay in the comment box below the auction post. As everyone using the blog can see the bids, it will be clear to everyone who the winner is and what the winning bid is. Just to make it clear, the winning bid will be the highest amount received before midnight tonight.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I WIN?

If you win, I will personally email you to congratulate you and confirm to you that you have provided the highest and winning bid. Once I have received payment from you and you have confirmed to me your chosen design, I will then commence work. You can expect to receive your very own piece of Brass Monki artwork signed by myself within 5-7 working days of payment being received.
