Matt Stevens’ MAX100 Project at Kickstarter

Matt Stevens (website, Twitter) has a dream and needs your help to make it a reality. His current MAX100 project at Kickstarter is an attempt at creating a book of sneaker illustrations, and the sample images on the Kickstarter page makes me think that this is one art project that needs to succeed.

I’ve been a sneakerhead as long as I can remember, so I decided to illustrate every pair of shoes I ever owned. I began creating this personal museum of a youthful obsession that I never outgrew. After finishing that, I took my favorite shoe of the bunch, the AirMax1, and I began illustrating it in a different way each day. My plan was to do it for two weeks, but about the middle of the second week, things took a turn.

Matt’s project isn’t even a third of a way there yet, but with 54 days left to go I think there’s a pretty good chance that this bit of insanity will succeed. Take a look at the Kickstarter page for details and then dive in and support an artist’s attempt to bring a book to life.
