Our first featured artist - Eekoorn!
We are very excited to introduce Jasmin Hagleitner, AKA Eekoorn, as our first ever featured artist. We caught up with Jasmin to find out more….
Tell us a little about yourself and where you come from..
Hi and thanks for the interview! I´m 23 years old and live in Tyrol/Austria. I work as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator for different clients. I´ve studied a few semesters architecture, and in fall 2009 I will begin a new study in Salzburg (Multimedia Art) which will be hopefully a very exciting time!
What are you currently working on?
I´m always working on dozens of projects at the same time! At the moment I´m working on my new homepage, a portfolio-book about my works in 2008/2009, a comic project, stickers for a company in Innsbruck, Flyers for a youth centre, and a new sneakart pattern, and...... ;)
What is your design ethos and inspiration?
I adore lot´s of artists, because art is so multilayered. I especially like this cute japanese style with it´s clean vectors and bright colours. But at present I´m also very impressed of a girl from hamburg a.k.a. "mioke". She is very talented in oil painting and her art suggests such a smooth calmness to me just like you get, when you go for a walk in the nature. Her paintings are very circumstantial, and when you look twice on them you still find things you haven´t spotted before.
What do you like about Sneakart?
I´m really happy that I´ve found a platform like this! As an illustrator and designer you´re really nuts about customizing everything, from your jeans to your sneakers! And sneakart offers you a professional and cunning solution! ;)
What are favourite sneakers and why?
When I was a kid I was "in love" with airwalk sneakers, but they don´t produce this kind of sneakers any more. Now I´m also quite happy with my good old chucks! I suppose it´s the white tip of the shoes (which make your feet look cute) I like most.
What do you think is the best design that you've submitted to sneakart?
I suppose it´s the "that´s life" - design, it sells well... I´m very fond of my cute and crazy symbols! And the bright colour on the black background is definitly an eye-catcher on white sneakers!
See more of Jasmin's work on her website and her flickr page. Check out Eekoorn's sneakart designs here.

Customise your sneakart.com
It's a little known fact but along with your shoes it's also possible to customise our site. If you get bored with the blue background, just click on the link that says "select background/£ $ €" in the bottom left corner and choose something that suits your mood. You can even buy the patterns if they take your fancy.

What can you do with a photo?
We're getting our new retail packaging finalised (in stores soon) and playing about with some images. The pink and white picture actually uses a flower image but comes out like some kind of fur. We know the NY skyline has been done many a time but it shows what you can do with a great photo. See what you can upload at sneakart.com.

Sneaker Seeker Winner!
Sneakart and Soleheaven went off for a little jaunt to Slough, UK to check out the results of the Sneaker Seeker project. Over 100 people attended the custom kicks workshops over several months and some amazing designs came out of it. It was really difficult to chose but we went with JC's design as the winner. Thanks to everyone to who took part and especially to Krissie from Future Culture who organised the entire event. More pics to follow soon.
