A Love Letter to Culture and Creativity
The Candy Paint Chronicles was born from my deep love for custom car culture and its undeniable influence on art, fashion, and music. Growing up, I was captivated by the way candy-painted cars weren’t just vehicles but moving works of art—bold statements of self-expression that reflected identity and pride. From the intricate pinstripes to the high-gloss finishes, every detail told a story, and that storytelling became the foundation of this project.
This editorial is my way of capturing the energy, nostalgia, and cultural impact that custom cars have had beyond the streets. The colors, typography, and illustrations are all inspired by the playfulness and extravagance of this world, blending vivid hues, fluid motion, and layered textures to create an immersive visual experience.
At its core, The Candy Paint Chronicles is a celebration of a culture that has shaped creativity across generations. It’s an homage to the artists, designers, and storytellers who turn ordinary objects into something extraordinary—just like a fresh coat of candy paint transforms a car into a masterpiece.
