Been kinda busy latelly and havent done that much stuff to post here unfortunately. So I'll will show you stuff that I dont know if it is to keep a secret or not but fuck it. (I'll not post them right here but you got the links to see them if you want).
In the past few weeks I got my first payment drawing shoes. I drew a mountain biking/outdoor shoe for some dude who saw my stuff at IG. Got 250 bucks for 2 days of work, I aint mad at all. They came out good too, since this is out of my confort zone. I just did the upper, the sole is his idea/concept/project. Fastest payment ever too.

A little intro clip by them:
¨PALHAÇADA 01¨ This is SPECIAL!They got to talk with me and are really humble dudes so I thought "why not?!" and went with it since I got some free time right now.
They have one first model out that is kind of a experience but I already did a new one for them that is going to happen really really soon. I had to use the outsole they already have but i designed the upper, taking it back to those old school runners and old skate shoes era (as they requested). They will pay me with shoes for this first time then when they got more money the plan is to get actual cash! ahah

Then last night I did this Emerica shoe, for fun. I was trying some different uppers for Spef and I liked this one but didnt liked it with their sole, so I just re-did it with Emerica branding, different running sole and a neoprene bootie. Came out better than I thought first.
Also, I'm waiting for approval in a big project with the Staple Pigeon brand right now, but I aint got the final response yet. Fingers cro$$ed!
