Attention passengers... Are there any sneakerheads aboard?

Do you get questioned, "How many pairs of shoes do you own?!!" repeatedly? Then when people actually see your collection its almost like shoes are spilling out of your closet. This Do Not Open sign was made just for my fellow sneakerheads with massive amounts of sneakers sitting in there closets. I made this with basic shapes and the marvelous PEN TOOL (for the logos).

And if you look out to your left you'll see a new town

FONTVILLE!!! This town was constructed with all text. (not something you all are used to)

Parents please cover your children's eyes. This next celebrity on board is only for the mature folk

The American photographer, Terry Richardson, was born in New York City in 1965, raised in Hollywood and Ojai California, and is the son of fashion photographer Bob Richardson. Terry Richardson is an international celebrity as well as one of the most prolific and compelling photographers of his generation. Known for his uncanny ability to cut to the "raw" essence of whomever appears before his lens, Mr. Richardson's vision is at once humorous, tragic, often beautiful, and always provocative.

Terry began photographing his environment while attending Hollywood High School and playing in a punk rock band, which is the roots of his individuality through his art. And he hasn't stopped shooting since. He has shot for numerous advertisements for fashion designers and editorial pieces. Terry has lensed campaigns for such clients as Gucci, Sisley, Miu Miu, Chloe, Hugo Boss, and Levi's. His editorial work has appeared in magazines such as French Vogue, British Vogue, i-D, GQ, Harper's Bazaar and Purple. Richardson's impressive list of subjects includes Daniel Day Lewis, Leonardo DiCaprio, Vincent Gallo, Tom Ford, Jay Z, Kanye West, Johnny Knoxville, Karl Lagerfeld, Pharell Williams and many others.

Terry's work has been the subject of numerous group and one man shows throughout the world, and he has published books, beginning with Hysteric Glamour in 1998, and stretching through his career until his most recent work, a retrospective from Taschen, entitled Terryworld 25th Anniversary Edition. Terry's work spans to a variety of mediums: he has shot music videos and commercials and is currently working on his first feature film. There are a few series within his collections that are NSFW (not suitable for work). Of course, a few prudish people immediately complain some of Terry's series were offensive, because they were too sexually explicit. But its nothing but an art form. If you know what's best for you, you will not search Terry Richardson with the safesearch off in a library or with your boss.

Whatever the medium, Terry Richardson continues to prove that he is a true American Original.

While you were sleeping

Hey I draw too!! Here are a few funny little sketches I did while on my journey in, during, and out of the city. These are just very humorous to me which seem to always be the outcome of my quick sketches... just to keep me interested and insert myself into my art.

Good evening passengers this is your pilot speaking...

másCustoms is a self-managed custom footwear company I started back in 2004. Formally known as MASKREATIONZ, másCustoms mentally came into play through a heated conversation between friends about the continuous sightings of the same shoe on people's feet. "Dont you hate it when you think you've found a pair of kicks that you think no one will have then the next day you see someone with them?!" This is how my thought process all started.

This conversation lead to many outcomes in my life which actually shape me to who I am today. I started become more into finding rare shoes, which lead to an obbsession to collecting shoes, which lead to money becoming tighter in my pocket (and still does), to wanting to create my own conceptual colorway for shoes. I started sketching out and coloring in designs I would come up with in classes, while watching movies, etc. After a few friends and family looked at my designs, I got persuaded to actually make these designs come to life. "You're an artist, so why not comibine your sneaker obsession with that."

The first customs I ever did were these Skittles Nike Huarache 2k4. There had the red/ white colorway just as the Skittles bag with little painted Skittle candies skattered around the shoe with acrylic paint and topped off with the logo on the toe of the shoe. I was ecstatic to see my drawing actually become a real shoe. They were good for a while until I started critquing my work as failures because I could of done better. That led me to put off making customs for about 2 1/2 years to improve my painting skills. Spring of 2007 came around and I came up with several ideas back to back and jumped right back into the customizing game with improved painting skills, refrences of techniques I wanted to experiment with from other known customizers, and a inspired thought process. From 2004- 2008 másCustoms went through numerous name changes, from MASKREATIONZ to MAS to MAS Customs to the now másCustoms. They all hold my initials, M.A.S., but it was brought to my attention from a peer that my intials spelled the spainish word for "more", más. I ran with that! Now that I have gotten more familiar with digital art, my little sketches now become digital mock-ups to show myself how my creation may come out.

I have experimented with a wide variety of techniques from painting with leather paint to deconstructing shoes and reconstructing them with my own fabrics. I am inspired by a lot of other customizers out there and everything around me. I've been getting a lot of recognition, curious people gazing at the creativity, customers, and some of my favorite customizers' attention. All this is really becoming bigger via my Facebook group page http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=83680772277 (You can check this out for a good majority of my custom pieces) where I inform my viewers my status on different pieces, obtain orders from potential customers, and advice/support. I am and always will be learning how to be just a that step above the retail market in creating customs people would love to own.

For your entertainment pleasure there's a brochure of one of our takeoff points

It seems we have a celebrity on board!

We usually attract various types of people on our journeys from middle-class people, the lower class, to even CELEBRITIES of inspiration in the art world!! First on our list is Brian "KAWS" Donnelly. KAWS is one of the upcoming worldwide-known artists. He has had numerous gallery showings located in many galleries across the world, from his city abode of New York to London and many more. Brian started out his artwork journey as the once looked over graffiti artist. Early on he created his signature image, X's on eyes, which is easily spotted as KAWS work now. KAWS's artwork ranges from manipulating noticeable childhood cartoon characters, abstract shapes, and even his own created characters. KAWS has gotten so widely known and successfully, he has collaborated with many other artists, started his own clothing line, and even been recognized in countless magazines. KAWS cartoon "style" has definitely inspired my increasing range of art style. Since there is a constant variety of people on our flights continue to stay tuned to many more inspiring artists.
