CUSTOM CLEATS By KEN DELA

I spent the first half of my life around the Detroit area and the current half isbeing spent in the Kansas City area. I have fallen in love with Kansas City andplan to spend the rest of my life here. A lot of my artwork showcases some ofthe iconic landmarks around Kansas City.I am the type of artist who loves to create big, bright, bold conversation pieces.My goal in art is to share my vision with the world. I enjoy experimenting withdifferent mediums, but I do a lot of stenciling, airbrushing and spraypaint..customizing things is my favorite. I am very versatile with what I can do,that’s what keeps things interesting...anywhere from a neo-traditional street artstyle to more detailed portrait work.With our world today so hectic, crazy, busy and bullyish...I use brightcontrasting colors with lines and patterns in an attempt to capture the attentionof someone racing by; encouraging them to slow down, even if it’s just for asecond. If I can touch just one person with one of my works, then my artworkwas a success.I am always learning and am forever a student. I feel that theminute you stop learning is the minute you stop growing andimproving...not just in your craft, but also in your life.Be who you are in your life's journey,not who "they" think you are...~ Ken Dela
