I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

FIRST AND FOREMOST
Before messaging me make sure I can respond. If this means sending me a friend request because you only accept messages from friends and I can't request you without an email or last name, please do. It's frustrating when I write a long response only to find out that I can't send it. Thank you and check the bottom for contacts!
This is a design I made with South Sacramentan artist Justin Galindo. It represents whatever you feel when you see it, just take an extra second to decode its visual message. Message me about purchasing one at $15. I also have a few other shirts for sale.
Hi :c)
Most of you probably know me from YouTube, and if you're coming here because of that I thank you for taking the extra second to check out my work. I do all sorts of artwork, not just custom clothing, so PLEASE contact me for any creative project you have. I'd love to do it.
So,
I say AURIEUCH! Message me about pronunciation.
I am quite poor, as my friend Brandon Case defines the word:
Pursuing
Opulent
Occupations
Recklessly
I have a pretty involved channel on YouTube as well, feel free to check me out there - WiggaTriggaTV
You can contact me via -

I'd love to explain any art you have questions about, or give advice on things like custom shoes, so contact me for these things as well.
Now I should probably explain the custom shoe game a little bit, and how it works.
Unless I have a pair already for sale and you simply wish to purchase it, the process will typically go like this:
The customer will contact either with an idea or the desire for me to sell one of my own to them. We will talk over the idea via email, instant message, or telephone conversation, and once finished I will create a photoshop preview of the pair. I usually charge $20 for this design, which is deducted from the final price.
After adjusting the image to the client's particular desires, I will charge a paypal account or request a check or money order be sent to my home address (which adds an extra week to the overall process), and then I purchase the shoes. You can also send the shoes to me if you would like, but I prefer the former.
I then prep the shoes, which involves stripping the factory finish from the shoes, preparing them to bond with the leather paint, and allowing for a paint job which will never come off, and can be worn just as any pair of shoes you could buy in a store.
After painting them (and typically creating a video to post to my YouTube channel), I will put a finisher on them to waterproof them. So you can feel safe wearing them out, and not just putting them up on the wall.
SOLE JUNKIE lists his average at $400 per job. Most would agree that my work is on par with his, but my average falls quite a bit lower than his (I also include shipping and base shoe value in my totals). Email me for specifics. Keep in mind that the more the detail, the higher the price. Canvas material shoes (i.e. Converses, Vans) are much cheaper as well. Average time from payment to receiving of shoes is 3-7 weeks depending on detail, keep that in mind when considering a purchase.
I also do large discounts for buying multiple pairs, or if one can offer other surfaces like discounts on products I may find useful or large promotion deals.
Thank you very much and email me with any more questions!
Current in-depth projects (in no particular order):
Kojima/Shinkawa Kicks series
From Russia with Love Dunks
Bioshock Dunks
impending God of War kicks series
Urban Olympics
Assorted stencil work with Kaleb Higgins
Oh yeah, and watch this before messagin me on how to do stuff :c)
