2026 Pre-Release Orders are Open

I am trying something new for 2026. I am scheduling the release of custom painted sunglasses, between July and November, twice a month until they are all released, and give everyone the opportunity to order ahead of time at a discounted rate. You can pre-order them here on the PixelVivid web site. I can either supply a frame (Fuel Cell, Batwolf, Frogskins, Holbrooks, Radar, and a few others) or you can supply your own frame. Pre-Order here : PixelVivid – Preorder 2026 Collection

Here are the 6 pre-releases planned for 2026:

  1. Red White & Blue Fade
    This will be an airbrushed design, fading through each of the three colors, and splattered with red, white, blue, and black. There are a few options in this style:
    • Fade the sunglasses from top to bottom
    • Fade the sunglasses from front to back
    • Fade the sunglasses randomly across the whole frame
  2. Lace Spray Over
    A throwback to the low rider community. I have lots of different lace options, and I will be trying them all, each on a different pair of sunglasses. Each pair will be unique. I will use the airbrush to paint two different base colors (you choose) –
    • a black base with multiple colorshifts blend over the lace pattern
    • a white base with multiple pastel colors blended over the lace pattern
  3. Coastal Blue & Tan
    This style is inspired by Coastal colors in South Carolina. The color palette will be #A5D2D5, #D3B395, and #7EBDBF. This will be an airbrushed design, fading randomly through each of the three colors across the face of the frame, and lightly splattered with the same, plus black and white.
  4. Halloween Confetti
    This will be a dot based design, using the common colors associated with Halloween – Black, Orange, White, and very small amounts of Green.
  5. Blended Candy over Holographic
    This is an airbrushed design, with a Blended Candy moving across the front surface of the sunglasses – red to orange to yellow to green to blue. Then a holographic flake is applied on the back surface of the sunglasses.
  6. Christmas Tree
    This is a linear design of multiple green and occasional dark brown angled streaks as a base on the frame, with multiple bright and metallic colored dots randomly all over, and a string of white or silver dots across the frame.

And as always, I also do custom work for anyone who wants something unique. If you have a specific design in mind, you can request a custom frame using the request form, or you can contact me directly using my email address:  contactus@pixelvivid.com.

Thanks everyone!

      Hi Dale! Hope you are still wearing those FrankenStrat sunglasses, I loved painting those for you!

      I don’t have any painted pairs I can share yet with you of the new styles, as I am in pre-order right now. If the heat isn’t too oppressive on Monday, I plan on getting into the paint studio and doing samples of each of the upcoming styles to share with everyone. Once I do, I will share those with everyone here so you can get an idea of what the sunglasses will look like.

      Thanks Dale!
