My friend David Wiesand, about whom I’ve written about many times, is a man of diverse and extraordinary talents. Just when I think he could not be any more talented, he pulls some creative rabbit out of his magic hat.
He’s been making the most gorgeous Baltimore-style painted Klismos chairs for a while now and they are just wonderful. Such a classical line and look!
Those are incredible! Street + heritage= very Baltimore.

LOL at the kicks!
ReplyDeleteI am so in love with those shoes!!
ReplyDeleteOkay, as if the painted Klismos chairs wouldn't have had me drooling, the Chucks have me totally crazed, and the new yellow pair I just ordered somehow don't seem nearly as cool. What fun! (And great to see someone who can truly capture the painting style)
ReplyDeleteWhat a terrific sense of style and fun. I wonder what type of paint he used on the canvas shoes? I've tried fabric paint (latex or acrylic) from Michael's to recreate a Porthault floral on a pair of plain white Keds and it was so effective, but perhaps this is something oil based that is more durable.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the wonderful post.
