About Brass Monki

Hi my name is Daniel Reese and I run Brass Monki. I am a part-time shoe customizer and the business has been running since summer 2009. I started by setting up a blog and linking it with various social networking sites. I enjoy taking images from pop culture and using Photoshop creating a sneaker design that can then be transformed into a wearable pair of customized, hand-painted/hand-finished sneakers. It is still very early days for me and I am learning by the minute! I have been amazed by the interest that my work has been receiving and it is very exciting to see my dreams turning into a reality. On those occassions when I am actually working on a pair of sneakers, you can view my work on LiveStream at www.livestream.com/brassmonkicustoms.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or ideas that you may have at daniel.reese@mail.com. I have many more ideas that I would like to bring to reality and as time goes by, you will see my range of work developing.
