A few Months ago Converse and VCCP approached me for this Project.
It was at first to work on this Campaign called "Made by You" and let me include my Shoe to a Worldwide Gallery, but after some brainstorming things got deeper and we eventually happened to do this.
Here's an excerpt from HighSnobiety about the Project.
"Russia-born illustrator and street goth fashionista Mago Dovjenko flew to New York with film production crew BWGTBLD to have a bespoke piece of his work thrown up on a Brooklyn/Williamsburg wall. Watch as the self-taught artist waxes lyrical on his first ever trip to the Big Apple, which demanded working through freezing cold temperatures before his larger-than-life mural was thrown up with the assistance of a local crew of street artists.
For more work from Dovjenko and his distinctive graphics, take a look at his part in Converse’s Made by You campaign."
Safe to say, this was a beyond-amazing expirience that I'll never forget. Thanks to everyone involved for making the dream come true.
Info about the Mural :
It took about 10 days to finish, due to the weather Issues (-20* Celsius)
