Shoebox Village Series
Ongoing series of work from 2020 to present.
as a very avid fan of sneakers, I hoard a lot of shoeboxes that I, for some reason, cannot throw away. while constantly staring at my stack of shoeboxes I realized they kind of look like tiny buildings. I had been wanting to challenge myself to draw more building-like structures and inanimate objects so it was the perfect opportunity to combine these two things. Thus, the birth of the Shoebox Village Series.
Nike x Ramen shop 2020
This is the first one I made in the series. I imagined a little mom and pop ramen shop for this red Nike AJ1 Box. This mom and pop shop theme has become the central theme for the rest of the shoe boxes.
2020
Adidas x USPS
The second one of the series was made with the purpose of raising awareness for the defunding of USPS. USPS is one of the most efficient mailing services that helps many small businesses, people who need their medication delivered, those living in rural areas, and many more. Support the USPS!
2020
Nike SB x 7-Eleven
This third one was a special request from a friend who wanted me to do the teal Nike SB box with a cherry blossom tree. One of the most touristy attractions of Japan is their 7-Elevens so I wanted to turn it into a small convenience store. I really wanted to utilize a bright color palette for a very cheerful vibe.
2020
Golf le Fleur x plant nursery
The fourth one is also another special request from a friend who wanted to see a merge of the Golf le Fleur converse box and a plant store. I painstakingly drew all the little plants but in the end it turned out very well!
2020
Yeezy x milk teazy cafe
Fifth box of the series is of a two story-cafe building with roof top seating and koi fish pond. I think it’s my most detailed box yet! I channeled my inner interior designer for this box.
2020
NIKE X CYBERPUNK ARCADE
My favorite shoebox because I called upon fellow artists, brands, businesses, and anyone with a logo to slap their logo onto the box as part of the art. This shoebox was made possible by the community <3
2022
NB ALD X FUJIWARA TOFU SHOP
This is the print version of a mini apparel collab I did with my good friend from Soloracer. I drew this with different five cars in the garage: RX7, MR2, S13, E30, and NSX

DANGKEEBS X VOZ ART OISHII SWEETS SHOP
Not a shoe box but Dangkeebs reached out to collab on an isometric building art. Had an amazing time working with him on such a fun and cute project. Prints, stickers, and hoodies were made.

NIKE FRAGMENT X LAWSON
My favorite shoebox part 2 because I called upon fellow artists, brands, and businesses again to volunteer their logos and art onto the box as part of the building. This shoebox was made possible by the community <3 I also did some animations hehe
