WEST SIDE FLOWER DRUM SONG STORY

I've been pretty busy with a few projects lately, but when asked to participate in this interesting group show I couldn't decline. The show is called RECOVER, and basically I got to pick a vintage record sleeve to do whatever I wanted with (You can view all of the record sleeves they had, and who claimed which ones on TrickGo's flickr). The record sleeve that I chose was a split LP with songs from the musical "West Side Story" and "Flower Drum Song". I chose the sleeve because the buildings on it looked like something I might paint or make, so including the actual artwork would appear seamless. I wound up combining the building and pagoda shapes (hence the title), and I also pasted the text from the record sleeve on the back, rearranged to read as the title. Information about the piece is below:

PAPER BLOG - keds to be raffled off

I am very excited to unveil these one-off Keds that I produced specifically to be raffled off at PAPER BLOG on March 19th. The pattern on these Keds is one that I had been working on for a little while, it is what the internet looks like to me, a more colorful version of binary code if you will (or something like that). Anyways, the original pattern can be seen on my flickr photo stream HERE, and though the maroon did print very light on the Keds I think that it still looks great and would be a really sharp summer shoe. Oh yeah, and the shoes are size 8.5 in Women's, and I got these printed at Zazzle.com. Thanks.
