Meet The Artist

Travis Sojka : Owner/Lead Designer

Hey! My name is Travis, the artist and creator behind Third Eye Customs, LLC. I have always been infatuated with the meaning behind the "Third Eye". For those who do not know the meaning, simply put, it is said to be what holds our intuition, insight, and mysticism. Also, thought to be where our creativity comes from.

I am a 31 year old Cleveland, Ohio-based artist that strives on using unique designs and colors to really make things stand out. I studied graphic design at Lorain County Community College and have been a huge supporter of arts of all kinds.

Shoes have always been a love of mine. Going back to my early middle school days, I had always wanted to wear shoes that other kids had looked past on the shelves, or something unique that not many others had. Although I had many brands throughout the years, my crutch has always been Vans.

I started painting shoes during the COVID-19 pandemic as a sort of escape from reality. I watched a few videos and decided it was time to give it a shot. I loved it and before I knew it people were reaching out for pairs of their own. Fast forward 4 years later and here I am, still loving every pair I create.

I am a one-man show and still work a regular 40-hr/week job (for now). I would love to eventually make this my full-time job. As I continue to grow and perfect my craft, I look forward to using this platform to help others. Whether it's just a way to express ones style or donating to help causes around the area.

I can't wait to create something special for you!!
