...The AFTER PARTY.

After the festivities at the sneaker-party on Sunday, there was a mass-exodus to the bat-cave, otherwise known as SOLEFOOD NYC. I had to throw in an image of these couture-kicks one more time for good measure. I NEVER get sick of seeing these! I can't wait to get my pair!!!!

Everyone was laid back with a drink in hand, having a good time and reminiscing on some of the doper sneaker selections of the day... My homegirl and uber-talented make-up artist AIRE was in the building looking like the cat that stole the canary:



People lounged around enjoying the atmosphere:



And even more wonderful art:



Above is an amazing painting of one of the characters from the cult-classic film KIDS who passed away. His image was painted on a skateboard-- and he lives on... Just the way he would have wanted to. The skater community definitely lost a true legend with his passing. R.I.P...



This is a beautiful painting of 70's icon Pam Grier aka Foxy Brown!



And of course-- one of my favorites. An intricate collage-painting of North-Face Goretex jackets from the early 90's. I can stare at this for hours. Gives me all TYPES of nostalgia!



And of course none of this could have been possible without Mike (pictured right) . He's the owner of SFNYC and is kinda like the Batman to this bat-cave that many of the fresh, funky and fly kids of this gritty city call home.

When all was said and done and it was time to go home, my photographer and I had a real nice surprise... We were in Atlantic Station in Brooklyn, and saw one of my flyers on the floor!



I know y'all are thinking-- but if it was on the floor, then it wasn't with the recipient. But to us, that equal progress! CCW is ringing bells people. Don't sleep!



My photog Jeff was definitely proud-- see him cheesin???
