26 Fluevogs

May 15th was Fluevog Day (John's birthday), sadly I couldn't go to the Abbot Kinney shop due to the money job.
Instead, I made a compilation image of this year's 26 Fluevogs A-Z:
Since Redbubble was having a tee sale last week, I uploaded the art and purchased one.
No, your eyes do not deceive you: graphic crooked and not centered
Redbubble fail.

I also put the compilation into a repeat, to broaden the available products.
Here's the scarf:

Is your favorite Fluevog in this year's compilation?
Any requests for 2019's series?

#AtoZchallenge 2018 Conclusion

Meet Zouk, a couples dance of Scheming Enthusiasts (Fluezie injoke) 

Did you enjoy year II of Fluevogs A-Z?
I did!
This year I traced the shoes, and was a whole lot happier with the drawings I had to work up the repeats with.
(I really struggled in 2017 with a few of them).

The above design came from a discussion in a Fluevog Facebook group.
I believe "S is for Schemes" was posted with a photo, and I remembered my Scheme redesign that I did for an Otis Extension Shoe Design class in 2015.
And I thought, why not post it to Fluevog Open Source.
Uploaded.
And as I was just about to hit the send button, I thought, would I wear that? No, probably not. I can do better!

I frankensteined the base of Enthusiast, the patchwork of Scheme, with the giant eyelet and ribbon laces of Templeton. YES!
My uploaded design. On Fluevog (upvote it!)

So waitaminute.
I'm supposed to be nattering on about the whole A-Z experience.
Okay, if I must.

It was good.
They had Google Doc spreadsheets, they were good.
I met some new blogging buddies, that was good.
I didn't have time to visit new blogs. Not so good, on my part.

Now, let me go back to my dreamland of fantasy Fluevogs.
Perhaps next year's A-Z theme!

#AtoZchallenge S is for Fluevog Shukran

I was supposed to post this yesterday, if I was following the official Blogging from A to Z Schedule.
I got involved with other activities and must confess I didn't even bother to look at which shoe I'd chosen for S.
This morning, I discover that it's a shoe I'd already drawn and made the repeat for -- silly me!
I DID redraw it in the media I'm currently using for this series. The repeats (because I also did a colorway) follow:

I originally came up with this design for a Fluevog ad challenge aka Fluevog Creative.

Nowhere near making it to the final cut, I realized that my designs are better suited for surface design and not advertising.

#AtoZchallenge M is for Fluevog Munster


Ready for a Saturday night dance party?


[5.26] Greetings A-Z Roadtrippers!
This A-Z series is all about Fluevog shoes. I drew the shoe, then put it into a repeat to eventually get posted on Redbubble for print on demand garments, housewares, stickers, etc, etc. My master Fluevog A-Z list is here.


The A-Z Road Trip road map link is here:
