JOSE VELA, Owner and Creator

From what began as just customizing shoes on the weekends in 2015, would turn into more than I bargained for. In August of 2018, I customized myself some old Vans with the Mineral Water drink theme, Topo Chico. They were originally made for myself for my Topo Chico themed birthday party, since I hadn’t seen it done before. I posted them on my Instagram and soon after I was making sales!

Soon later, I bought an iPad Pro in 2019 and the possibilities were endless! I wanted to sticker bomb my painting table but couldn’t find any stickers I really liked, so I learned how to draw and design on the program Procreate and started designing and printing stickers of my artwork! I soon made a Tiktok video of my stickers and I like to say it sort of got the attention of many people who couldn’t live without the stickers themselves. I have since expanded to selling prints of my artwork, shirts, hats and pins!

Just last year in June, I started taking my artwork and merch to conventions where I have been receiving a great deal of support and interest! I’m always thinking of new ways to expand the shop and keeping people wondering what I’m going to get into next!
