For TTK, art has always been the motive. Seizing the chance to turn his painting hobby into a profitable business venture, he took advantage of the customizing trend of the mid 2000s and began transforming sneakers. While serving a decade in the Navy, TTK floated between his home base in Bed Stuy, Brooklyn and places like Connecticut and Virginia whose art scenes he further explored. As a sneaker artist, TTK's work has been heralded as some of the best in the business. His creations have been commissioned by various celebs, and he holds winning titles for the Funkmaster Flex Sneaker Battle and Finish Line's Custom Kicks Showdown.
