This past June we highlighted the work of Filfury’s Nike Air Max Handguns — a cheeky yet subversive riff on hot button issues such as gun control and sweatshop conditions. Now the Sydney artist is back with another collection of sneaker-based art — this time eschewing weapons for another streetwear staple: skulls. Who doesn’t love skulls? Everyone from Alexander McQueen to mastermind JAPAN play on the motif relentlessly, so it’s little surprise that Filfury — aka Phil Robson — follows suit. He also uses the same technique to fashion detailed bugs from famed Nike and Adidas sneaker models, creations that are quite stunning in their realism. Peep the full gallery of Filfury’s Skulls + Bugs Collection below…
