Just finished reading Custom Kicks by (Kim Smits and Matthijs Maat) MAKI
“Customizing is hot. Everything can be customized, from pimped cars to retro furniture. This major trend is especially popular in footwear. Customizing your own shoes is a way of stepping out of the crowd, of showing your personality.
How did it start? What materials do the artists use? There are also tips and tricks on how to create your own unique shoes.”
Highly recommend if you wanna see a good sample of styles.

Lola is one of those exceptional artist who are very hard to categorize. The (almost) featureless characters have something both dark and innocent and are always staged in fantasy landscapes accompanied by strange animals.
Her work is mysterious yet emotional and as much part of her art, are the frames she chooses to add another layer of drama to the piece iitself, conveying even more, familiar with improbable.
