Young and talented Brighton artist David Brownings has created some very colorful and realistic looking sneakers from paper. After creating a pair of psuedo-sneakers for his Illustration and Animation project at the Bristol’s University of the West of England, his particular take on modern footwear has taken a foothold among fans.
Made from only colored paper, scissors, and regular glue, David Brownings' mock creations were inspired during his short stint working for a shoe shop that specialized in vintage trainers.
