Hand-Painted Shoes

CORRECTION

Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:20:36 -0400

I will do different styles of All Time Low. I’ll make a few Don’t Panics. And any styles that are different from what I’ve done.

TEMPORARILY DISCONTINUED

Fri, 22 Mar 2013 20:03:09 -0400

I will no longer be making All Time Low shoes.

I’ve been AMBUSHED with orders of All Time Low and to be quite honest, I’m sick of painting them. I’m so sorry. I get horrifically bored of making the same exact shoes over and over. I have 26 requests for All Time Low shoes right now. I can’t handle them. Something that has always been my passion now feels like a chore. I’m not saying that I wont ever make them again, but for right now I need something new!

Sorry to everyone I have disappointed. Order something new, make up your own design. I’ll have so much more fun.

I have abandoned this blog

due to family, school, work and attempting to chase my dreams, but I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss it. The emails I have received, I have moved them to a specific folder in my mail and each time I have, I’d cringe a little. Because I wanted to work on them and paint for you all so bad, but never had the time. Now I am making the effort. More of an effort. I will warn you, they will take me a while to complete, but I will do them so long as you are willing to wait.

I will be contacting those who have emailed me, first. And I will do so in a “first come, first serve” basis. In the mean time, I will post the one or two pairs I did manage to send out during my hiatus.

P.S I have specific bands that I want to design shoes for. If I do not already have an email requesting shoes of that/those bands, I will share a post requesting it, and whoever contacts me first, gets the time slot. As I said, these will take me a while, I’m going to school 3 days a week, and work 5 days a week (Including weekends) so its not easy. Just bear with me please! (:

Could you get like 2 shoes with diffent designs like one all time low and one sleeping with sirens?

What's your average time needed to draw fully on a pair of shoes?

Mon, 05 Nov 2012 10:25:12 -0500

Right now, I have a ton of orders and am in the process of moving, so maybe about a week or two. But if you have a deadline, I can work with you.

do we send you the shoes we want to be designed?-kirsten h.

All Time Low.

What is this, take three? This is yet another take of my original All Time Lows, only done on slip ons. Custom order.

Sleeping with Sirens.

Lyrics include “They say love is forever, your forever is all that I need”, “I hope you know that you are what my dreams are made of”, “I think your mouth should be quiet”, and “When you have today, you should say all that you have to say”.

I’m not sure if I’m done with these or not. But this...

Sun, 05 Aug 2012 18:13:58 -0400

I’m not sure if I’m done with these or not. But this is what I have so far. And seeing that I am pleased enough…I am done with them-at least for tonight.

Could we send you a picture of a what we want on them? I have been admiring a pair of painted shoes, and I cannot find who made them!

Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:07:30 -0400

Definitely, of course! That’s how I work; you send me pictures of either album art or whatever it is that you want, and I tell you how I’m planning on incorporating it on the shoe. Let me know (:

You want shoes?

Thu, 02 Aug 2012 18:42:00 -0400

Hey guys, I’m sorry I haven’t been around in a while, things have been incredibly hectic.

But here’s what I’m going to do. I know a lot of you have been asking me and begging me for shoes and you guys are so great I just can’t ignore that. Your kind words are amazing and I can’t thank you enough for them.

If you are someone who is willing to purchase the shoes and ship them to me to paint on, shoot me an email with the title “sending you shoes” and tell me what you want. Let me know what you want, I’ll tell you the price and I’ll instantly get started.

If not, there’s only one more thing I can do for you.

I have a bunch of pairs of shoes. They might be different from what you’re seeing most of my designs on-for example, I have barely any of the shoes with the lightening bolt(All Time Low and ADTR) left. If you want either of those bands, unless you have an exact design of what you want, you are giving me the artistic license and trusting me to design whatever the heck I want on this brand new canvas, cause you haven’t seen my design on the new shoes yet. If you’re ohkay with that, I’m ohkay with that, and I’ll get started.

Here are the shoes I have, and the sizes I have them in(I only have these):

The sizes I have in the Lightening Bolt Shoes are:

7, 7.5(2), 8, and 8.5

The sizes I have in the slip on shoes are:

The sizes I have in the vans style shoes are:

7.5(2), 8, and 9.

If your shoe size is not listed here but you would still like a pair, you must buy the shoe and ship it to me. But do not buy the shoe without emailing me first.

If you have any questions, I am available, feel free to contact me. Thanks for your time. (: and thanks for sticking with me!

Hey kids,

I’M ON ETSY!

..finally. Some shoes will be up there within the week, and I’m adding more as we speak.

Ever considered doing a pair of Harry Potter themed shoes??

Mon, 09 Apr 2012 00:04:44 -0400

Yupp, but I’m not a Harry Potter fan(THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT I DON’T LIKE IT, It’s just that I never got into it other than watching the occassional movie) So I don’t know much about it, and I’m not comfortable enough with it to be able to fill a shoe(with all the details that I put into them) with HP. But maybe one day…

Like if someone sends me a simple request, I can do that. (:

Would anyone be interested in buying these shoes once I finished...

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:22:00 -0400

Would anyone be interested in buying these shoes once I finished and painted them?

Oh and they say “Not all who wander are lost”

Any takers?

The ATL shoes you made, how did you do it? I am dying for a pair!!!!!

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 15:43:38 -0400

Hi (: There’s not much to it, actually. For the first pair, I had an extra pair of shoes and had a Dirty Work show coming up, so I grabbed all of their CD’s and started doodling on them, with the album art work as my inspiration.

Very nice work... Do you practice the styles or the image in a paper before you draw them on the shoes?

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 15:42:15 -0400

Thank you (: Honestly, it depends, but most of the time, no. I usually just draw the image straight on the shoe very lightly in pencil, trying my best not to have to erase. But usually, I know pretty well what I’m capable of drawing and what I am not. If I don’t think I can accurately replicate something, I won’t try to :p

How much would you charge for a pair of the nebula shoes?

Fri, 06 Apr 2012 15:38:27 -0400

It depends on what type of sneakers you want them on.
