Transcript
For my final act as kid with Crocs, I created a giant four foot Tier. It took me about a week to three d print, glue, and paint this monstrosity of a Croc. It was a labor of love, and I wanted a bunch of you guys to sign it. So twenty four hours in advance, I put in my tier saying I was gonna be at the park. Walk up to the park. Look what up. I got a big croc. Walk up to the park. Look what up. I got a big croc. It's been exactly forty days since I started this journey rank I'm absolutely honored that so many of you came along for the adventure. I started Kid with Crocs to go above and beyond and challenge myself. If you're wondering who I am, I'm a local New York City artist and I'm actually a really big fan of Crocs. And five years ago I shot them Visteon. Believe it or not in November, they said they wanted to work with me. Gave me full creative freedom to do whatever I wanted. So instead of taking the easy way out and reading some corporate words written by a marketing executive, I made this guy. And I told Crocs I wanted to put Crocs on statue. My idea was stupid, but they trusted me. So I made this brand new account and started making Crocs for statue. This took literally all of my time for nearly three months, and I had no idea where good go. But with love and support from my friends, Crocs, and you guys, I ended up here. So that's it. It's It's been KIDD with Crocs. I wanna give this Croc away. I think it'd be cool. I'm gonna drive it to one of your guys' houses. I'm gonna pick somebody random. Just like the video and leave a comment. Most importantly, create things you love and love those around you.
