Artist Uses Mixed Media Digital Paint To Create Sneaker Art

British artist Phil Robson (aka Filfury) turns sneakers into sting-rays, insects and more by cutting up collages he creates from digitally-salvaged sneaker remains.

Inspired by his nineties upbringing, his brilliant digital sneaker art collection, Sneaker Mashups, is vibrant, colorful & unique.

The artist begins his work by asking himself what each sneaker reminds him of. He then envisions how the sneaker would look once digitally transformed into something else.
