The past 3,5 years I've created quite a few different art pieces: Sneakers, Jackets, Caps and paintings. To give you an impression of my work, I dropped some pictures below. To start with:
Jackets
Custom painted LANDO NORRIS x MONACO jacket.
After Lando scored his 3rd F1 career podium, I wanted to create an art piece to remember that moment. first, I made a design on paper. After finishing the design, I tried something new: Painting custom jackets.
I painted Lando's McLaren x GULF helmet, a design especially for the Monaco '21 Grand-Prix. The bright papaya orange stands out amazing against the Sky blue. Absolute one of my most favourite color combinations!
Custom Painted DANIEL RICCIARDO x MIAMI jacket.
I'm very proud of this piece. A Daniel Ricciardo fan asked me to paint her a jacket with Daniel's Miami '22 helmet. It already was one of my favourite last year's helmet designs, so I accepted the challenge. The final results looked absolutely splendid. And surprisingly, McLaren noticed this jacket, and shared my work in one of their articles!
All the things Daniel has put together in this design makes this such a personal helmet: the hibiscus flowers, turquoise glitters, Miami dolphins, and last but not least: the wink to ''Ace Ventura: Pet Detective''. I'll definitely miss Daniel Ricciardo's helmet designs during the '23 season.
Custom painted CARLOS SAINZ x FERRARI jacket.
Secretly, I'm also quite a big Carlos fan. His whole energy, hilarious face expressions and team player mentality makes him such a likeable person.
I always use Angelus leather paints. They’re high quality, you can mix them really well together, and the coverage is great. On this jacket I also used their 'glitterlites'. Which is basically a pure glitter paint. Not really visible on this picture, but the reflection of this glitter paint is stunning, and gives the helmet much more depth.
Fun Fact: I actually finished this jacket the day before Carlos won his first ever Formula 1 race, during the British Grand-prix in 2022!
Custom painted LANDO NORRIS x McLaren jacket.
One thing you can see coming back in my designs is neon. And that's why my most recent project was Lando's iconic neon helmet, slightly inspired by the one and only: ''The Doctor'', Valentino Rossi.
This one took me a while to paint. To make the neon REALLY neon, you have to start with a white base. for a full coverage base, White needs several layers of paint. Only when it's completely dry, you can start with the neon paint. My favourite part of this design, is the visor of the helmet. I used some pink and purple to create the illusion of a reflection, in my opinion it adds a little bit more detail and depth.
