Advertisement for new Converse Skateboard loafers by New York based artist Toya Horiuchi.

Toya is an incredibly talented artist and designer. He moved from Tokyo to New York City ten years ago, and his paintings and clothing designs are inspired by symbols and icons of the Big Apple. So when he approached me to make a commercial, I knew that it should exude the vibes of NYC.
