This image appears to be the logo of the Ana Cristea Gallery‘s website, which we stumbled on when we were looking for info for our post about artist Shaan Syed. It made us realize that Converse All Stars and other sneakers make great instant rubber stamps for floors and walls. We’d follow the essential gist Susan Dworski wrote about in her eraser stamps. Taking a cue from this extra-large stamp pad we saw on Amazon, we’d fashion a giant pad out of felt saturated with the ink we want. OR just rub some paint on the bottom of a sneaker and test the level of print.

Sneaker prints would also make wonderful wrapping paper…

Swell.
