“Millions of men have lived to fight,
build palaces and boundaries,
shape destinies and societies;
but the compelling force
of all times has been the force of
originality and creation profoundly
affecting the roots of human spirit.”

- Ansel Adams

HOLYZAPATOS IS BACK!

Site changes a plenty...  By the time we're done, we will have a new
section for the store that will function as a custom order form.
Basically, you will be able to pick your own shoes, colors and basic
concept for customization online and send it out for a bid by an
artist of your choice.  Along with the custom-to-order page, we have a news section that is updated daily.  It's set up
blog-style to bring you the events and news you need.  HolyZapatos.blogspot.com is your new source for news. The contacts
and links page is revamped for the new season, there will be a few new
customs in the store and we will occasionally offer Pre-Bay sales in
the news and store sections.  HolyZapatos is back and ready to work...
Give us a shout if you have any ideas, concerns, or questions that we can
help you with.

Along with the new website, HolyZapatos and its artists have been busy....
Denz especially has been getting up in Toronto, New York, Cleveland,
and Minnesota. He's also showing the love to his hometown by bringing
in some of the innovators of graffiti to host an all city, legends-only party.
Denz, GRok, Temper, Thor, TKid, Cope2, Stef and a few more Chicago
graff legends just finished the Eastern, Central, and Pacific show, which was hosted at ACME Artworks Gallery located on 1741 N Western in Chicago.

Mike Genovese, Thor, Chris Silva, Anthony Lewellen, Caleb Neelen,
Chucho Rodriguez and Remi Morgan are in the midst of the 9 Lives
gallery show at 645 W. 18th Street in Chicago, Illinois. For more information visit
