Some Cool Converse Sneakers!

lush! I would love to own a pair.

Nice art and what an inspiration!

@Ayahuasca:

I think you are looking at this in a strange way. I don't understand how artists sharing their artwork makes Current "complete trash"... I'm not "peddling" these either, as I was not promoting them for people to buy, just to look at and comment on. What I don't understand is if I had found these and they were by some other artist, that would be OK to post? I see shoe and fashion related posts all the time; what is your beef about this?

Current IS a news site. There is a ton of news on this site! Some of it is political, some of it is movie news, some of it is art!

"I'll pass on posting my stuff here and I'll do it somewhere proper, I have too much self respect..." Obviously if the Current staffers are saying this is ok, it is COMPLETELY "proper". I don't see what NOT sharing your writing with us has to do with "self respect"- you have three people on this post telling you to go ahead and post your stories b/c we'd like to see them! You have too much self respect to gain fans and admirers?

It is only shameless because there is nothing to be ashamed of when it comes to sharing your creativitiy!

Also, I ASKED Mario to clarify if this was OK or not because I wanted to make sure I wasn't giving you false info about the terms of use here @ Current. It has nothing to do with favoritism! I told him that if I was in the wrong I would gladly remove the post and refrain from posting anything else like it.

What some people, like yourself, see as "falling far" I see as reinvention. Current has opened up it's page to include all kinds of topics and I think that's great; that way we don't have the "is this news" debate every 5 seconds, which is what was happening on old posts! Now people can pick and chose what pages they open; if you follow politics, go into news, if you follow movies, go into movies, if you are an artist, go into art! If you are like me, you go into all of them!

Posting news IS the intended use of this site, and that is not going to stop just because other uses have come into play! This is the internet- don't you think there is room for all interests?

@Ayahuasca2012 - I can certainly understand your questioning here, but as DeliaTheArtist pointed out, this is one of the reasons we've modified the homepage with popularity voting lists for specific channel sections.

What is new and interesting varies between channels, and this clearly falls into the realm of 'art and style'.

Additionally, note that this post was not tagged to the 'News' channel, if it had been we would've removed it from 'News' bit it still would be applicable in 'Art and Style'.

One last thing, you should submit short stories if you'd like to. Tag them with "short stories" and see if others start following suit.

Thanks,
Mario

did you scotch guard them?

Pathetic... so now you are attempting to use Current to advertise and shamelessly self promote your "art"...

Yeah nice, you drew on some shoes... now let's everyone stop fellating Delia and expanding her ego and go back to real news.

I'm not trying to be mean... but is this the proper use of Current?

Fuck it, I'm just gonna start posting short stories and art too... or maybe I will respect the site and use it as it was intended...

my girlfriend would love these

Yeah, they were nice shoes when they were still American made, but I would never spend all that $$ for a pair of cheap canvas sneakers made in China....even if thet are Chuck Taylor All Stars......

Lets not carry the JOKE 2 far !

Thats pretty good, you could sell those.

they look really nice and colourful. Don't wear them in the rain!
