Not only as it offers the opportunity to serve coffee, cappuccino’s and espresso’s relatively easy, but also because of the pleasant smell it produces.

The good guy seems to be pretty deep into sneakers and made a couple of awesome illustrations to explore a range of illustration styles. An earlier illustration exercise ”The shoe museum” was posted [...]
