UGLY IS ART. ART IS FREEDOM.

You send the idea. You send the item. I turn it into one-of-one wearable art.

About UglyNation

UglyNation is Zneto’s streetwear art studio born in Sharpeville, Vaal, a place that raised the creativity, the grit, and the vision behind every piece. This whole thing started with one-offs: raw, hand-painted designs built straight from people’s ideas and the items they trusted me with. Custom work will always be the pulse of UglyNation, but we drop limited collections too, so more people can feel it, wear it, and carry the energy with them.

How It Works

The Idea

You pitch your concept, send references, and describe the vision for your one-of-a-kind piece.

The Design

I'll sketch out a design based on your idea. We'll refine it together until it's perfect and ready for paint.

The Creation

Once the design is approved, I get to work, hand-painting your item and bringing the art to life.
