Custom Air Jordan III Inspired OLYMPUS PEN E-PL2

James of Hong Kong just worked for the latest Olympus E-PL2 campaign in HK and had the assignment designing a new look for the camera. So he took inspiration from his favorite shoe? That’s right the Air Jordan III which just so happens to release tomorrow 1/22/11, was the motive behind the design. A masterpiece I must say. Here’s how it was done:

-Step One: Mask the rest of the body with masking tape
-Step Two: spray the grey paint on the grip, TAMIYA COLOR TS-81(recommended). Unmask the tapes and you can see the rest of the body is fine, so be careful and make sure you cover up the rest of the camera body well
-Step Three: after the paint dried, use some small tip pen to draw those black lines, GUNDAM MARKER GM01(recommended)
-Step Four: Just add some red GUNDAM MARKER GM07(recommended)

Fin!!!

*I would personally like to thank James for this idea. Being a professional photographer and passionate sneakerhead is a really odd combo. I’m a Nikon shooter but this Olympus E-PL2 will be added to the arsenal.
