MY TOP 5 KICKS AND COMIC STRIPS COURTESTY OF KICKSONFIRE.COM

At the end of every year, sneaker blogs give a select few the opportunity to express their opinion on their top sneakers of the year. Juan Martinez of KicksOnFire.com took it a step further and not only let me tell you what my top 5 were, but also suggested I DRAW them. In addition to my top 5 sneakers, Juan himself selected his Top 5 SNE'ADS comics of 2012. 

Enough talking. Head on over and check it out here

AIR YEEZY 2 inspired pieces

A couple of months ago I dropped 2 images that went viral. If you haven't seen them, then you're probably not that into your clothes or your shoes or tumblr. If you have seen them, you'll notice that my signature was left on both pieces, but the internet thieves removed my twitter tag @sneadsbyree. Nevertheless, it's a great feeling seeing your image, even if they were just sketches, damn near everywhere. 

I still have a couple of prints of each. If you're interested, email me at sneadsbyree@gmail.com. Signed and numbered ready for framing.

"OLD LOVE • NEW LOVE"

"YEEZY TAUGHT ME"

No big images...sorry.

Sketches


Excuse the watermarks. I've had internet thieves remove them as of late...but at least they kept my signature on my pieces. I never knew my throw away stuff would be so popular.

SN'EADS: PURPLE

SN'EADS: PURPLE from R E E on Vimeo.


A sn'ead gets a new pair of shoes plus an UNexpected compliment.

"PURPLE" is my first fully animated and colored SN'EADS.
Considering the amount of time I did it in...it actually wasn't that painful.

See you soon with another one.

SNEAKER CON L.A. RECAP

SNEAKER CON made it's way to Los Angeles this past Saturday. I attended it back in March in New York just to get a sense of how the east coast sneakerheads get down. Being that it was in my hometown, I made sure I got a proper display to exhibit my work as well as do a few on the spot commissions and sell a few prints.
Photos Courtesy: Jacque Slade
Happy customer with my best selling print thus far. Sold quite a few of those that day. Hmmmm...I wonder why it keeps selling?

Getting down on a piece. Lines first.

Colors second

Laughing it up with somebody about some nonsense. lol.
Here's a couple of live commission pix. These were done on 11 x 14 bristol board paper with Tria Markers, Pit Brush pens, and pigment liners and acrylic paint. Excuse the photos...had to keep it moving.

I'm going to try something a lil different at the next sneaker event. But for now, this was fun.

ALL SN'EADS UNITE EVENT RECAP

Here's a recap video for sneaker event I did last month with some of my friends, Franalations, Afrokix and of course, King Poetic.

I'm the last person interviewed, but I brought my Cintiq and my Mac and got busy live on the spot on some sneaker art for the sn'eads in attendance. Good times.
