Karts & Chelas karting gloves art

Back when I was a kid, I remember waking up early on Sundays and catching car races on TV. Most of the time it was F1, narrated by the legendary Kike Pérez. I wasn’t into sports — but the speed, the visuals, the machines — they stuck in my brain like a spark plug. So when the crew at Karts & Chelas reached out to create a custom design for their racing gloves, it hit different. It wasn’t just a commission — it was a full-circle moment.

So years later, getting the chance to create custom artwork for a pair of pro karting gloves felt like a full-throttle flashback — but this time, I was part of the action.

This badass custom piece was made for my friends at Karts & Chelas, a signature glove design built to stand out and reflect the chaos-fueled energy of my style.

What excites me the most about illustration is embracing the unknown — letting the challenge pull me into new territory — and this project delivered that big time. Designing for karting gloves wasn’t as simple as sketching something cool. Each glove is made of three separate sewn panels, so I had to get surgical with details and visual flow.

The process started with pencil sketches and moved into full printed mock-ups of scaled paper gloves — to test wraparounds, seam placement, and how the whole design would move with the hand. It had to feel aggressive from every angle. Looking ordinary was never an option.

The result? A signature piece that screams Corpz — pure graphic mayhem crafted with precision. Now it’s the gloves’ turn to bring art and attitude to the racing track.
