Gottlieb - Big Brave

Cory — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 16:16:57 +0000

I managed to pickup a pinball machine last week. My friend gave me a really good deal on it. I have a little bit of restoration to do on it, but overall, it’s in great condition for a 1973 pinball machine. I’m gonna replace all the play field rubber rings and replace all the rusted metal pieces (coin door, legs, coin slot, some other pieces). Luckily I found a place online that sells most of the stuff, so looks like I got a new side project to work on. More pictures after the jump….

MPC Series - Pt. 1

Cory — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 22:59:44 +0000

This is part one of my MPC series. After doing the MicroKorg I thought it only acceptable to blend the culture of hip hip producers with the Nike Dunk (nothing new!). The MPC is a staple of hip hop producers in and out of the industry and its something I am fond of. I do not currently own one now since going to all software based production but I will pick one up eventually. I have used many different MPC’s and love the feel and sampling sound they have. Here are two dunks based on the most common MPC2000XL and the MPC 2000 SE1. They aren’t the best dunks I’ve done but it’s fun to get ideas and run with them. Hit the jump to see the inspiration (pics)….

MicroKorg

One of my favorite synths I own, the MicroKorg. Here is a little tribute with the colorway, a subtle Korg logo on the heel and vintage wood look. I think it turned out good, I like em. If you’ve never seen this keyboard, hit the jump to see a pic.

The Pit

I just picked up some all white Air Max’s at the thrift store. They aren’t Air Max 90’s like these but they have the same look. I am actually going to buy some paint and try my hand at putting together my first real pair of customs. I have a couple other pairs I picked up for practices which I will post later. I’m going to start out simple and go with just a color scheme and stay away from painting any soles. Pirates are cool, so a team with a pirate mascot is somehow cool, even though I don’t even watch or follow baseball. Here is a quick take on the team logo and colorway.

I was going through my game collection cause I was rearranging our storage and some other house stuff. I started getting ideas for concepts and took some pictures of some NES cart’s, this is what came out of the process. View project for NES label references.

The “English Gentleman”

Not much to say here, dubbed the “English Gentleman”. I tried some techniques to try and get the pipe to look embroidered with not very much luck, I will have to keep at it.

M.A.G. Faction Series

Cory — Fri, 17 Jul 2009 17:51:46 +0000

A friend of mine suggested I do a series based on each faction from the upcoming game M.A.G., for those who don’t know, M.A.G. stands for Massive Action Game. Here is what the wiki page describes it as…

The game will utilize a new server architecture to support online battles with up to 256 players, with users divided into 8-player squads, with 4 squads forming a platoon, and 4 platoons forming a company. Each squad will be led by a player who has advanced through the game’s ranking system. Character statistics and development will also increase with frequent gameplay. The players most advanced in rank will be able to either direct the battle or participate directly in combat.

Read the wiki article here

There are three factions total and I tried to capture the style/aesthetic of each faction in the design of the shoes. Hope you like! Hit the jump to see the character and logo’s that I took inspiration from for each design.
