Once again I delve into the SPIDER-VERSE, but this time I finally get to do my version of the main SPIDER, PETER PARKER. But along with PETER comes 2 of his biggest enemies, VENOM & CARNAGE.
PETER AKA SPIDER-MAN
When a quiet, mild mannered, science student from Queens got bit by a radioactive spider, his life changed forever. PETER PARKER went from the High School Nerd to the Friendly Neighborhood SPIDER-MAN. Much like most people, SPIDER-MAN resonated with me at a young age. Whether it was him being a kid living his normal life, while having AMAZING powers and a quick wit. Or his EYE POPPING DESIGN with his RED, BLUE and BLACK color scheme. SPIDEY was all around SPECTACULAR! After designing MILES, and then GWEN, it was only natural that I design a PETER Art Figure. The SPIDER who inspired the entire SPIDER-VERSE! I wanted PETER to be in a classic SPIDEY POSE. A pose that only the most AGILE of HEROES could hit. And his hands had to be in the “Ready to THWIP” pose. I wanted PETER to rep his individualistic style with a pair sneakers that really stood out and could be styling’ in the AIR as he is swinging through the city. KICKS that could be FOAM cushioned and FORM- FITTING for all his acrobatic moves. SNEAKERS that could match his SUIT, and his FRESH WEB-WINGS!

EDDIE AKA VENOM
Born out of Hatred and Revenge, once the Alien Symbiote bonded with EDDIE BROCK, their collected drive to KILL PETER PARKER created the new villain, VENOM. He started out a VILLAIN, later became a LETHAL PROTECTOR, and most recently a SYMBIOTE GOD. VENOM is BIG, VIOLENT, & SCARY. Everything SPIDER-MAN is not. I LOVED DRAWING him! Once I knew I was designing a PETER figure I knew now was the time to design an EDDIE AKA VENOM Art figure. I wanted EDDIE to be the BIGGEST figure that I have designed to date. I wanted him to have an OVER-POWERING presence to him. He had to stand out when placed among my other figures. Towering over them with a SINISTER look and his classic long ALIEN TONGUE. EDDIE needed sneakers that were just as BOLD, and made a MAX PLUS statement. They needed to reflect his Alien appearance along with his SUPREME DOMINANCE over all!

CLETUS AKA CARNAGE
The spawn of the alien symbiote VENOM, mixed with the blood of the serial killer CLETUS KASADY. A new DEADLY VILLAIN was created, CARNAGE. This new RED and BLACK SYMBIOTE was created with the sole purpose to KILL. CLETUS aka CARNAGE would often come into conflict with SPIDER-MAN and VENOM. At times it would take the COMBINED EFFORTS of both SPIDEY & VENOM to stop this monster’s murder sprees. When designing CLETUS I wanted to depict his RAGE and how the SYMBIOTE flowed with AGGRESSION around him. I wanted CLETUS to look like he was in a moment of MADNESS ready to STRIKE! His KICKS had to be just as AGGRESSIVE & MASTERFUL in design. Sneakers that represented a COLD BLOODED killer coming for his prey, SPIDER-MAN and VENOM. The three forever connected in a TRIFECTA of POWER!
