ZOMG! My shoes were published in the Vans book “The Birth of Icons.” They contacted me via my flickr group I started, Painted Vans, and I had Julian Chadwick ship the shoes he owns to LA along with a pair I had here in OKC. They photographed both pair and published them in the “Custom Made” section of the book, alongside roughly 20 other artists. I was the only artist with 2 pairs published and the first artist featured! WOW! Talk about rocket fuel to keep going. Here’s page one, page two. Wooord.
