Christmas Presents

So hand painted shoes seems to be my new thing, they're a christmas thing this year. 

My mum is a very caring and giving person, her favourite colour is orange and her favourite animal is the elephant.
So I bought her an orange pair of Toms shoes, (for every pair of Toms that are purchased, the company gives a pair of shoes to a child in need) and I was going to just paint elephants on the shoes, but it progressed to African animals. I used some of my photographs that I took when we were in Holiday in South Africa as reference. Here are the finished product: 


For my car crazed mechanic of a father, I bought a plain pair of white Vans and painted Formula 1 related things on them. I used photos of Red Bull and Michael Schumacher as reference and also painted a rough shape of the Bahrain and Abu Dhabi tack on the left shoe. (The Bahrain and Abu Dhabi tracks because my dad has been to both, the Bahrain track more than once, as he lives in Saudi Arabia, which is driving distance, and Adu Dhabi was his most recent trip.)

"The First rule of Fight Club is..."

My other half loved his Breaking Bad shoes so much that he asked me to paint him a Fight Club pair.
So I did. I got them done just before Halloween, which was good because he dresses as Edward Norton from Fight Club for halloween, so shoes went perfectly.

First commission "something fishy"

My first pair of commissioned shoes were from a fish monger, who requested I paint a fish counter on a pair of vans for him. Below are finished product.

Hand painted shoes

So my boyfriends birthday was coming up and even though he is the easiest person to buy for, I couldn't for the life of me decide what to get him. I didn't want to get him anything anyone else would get him. He needed new shoes because his current ones were disgraceful, and I work part-time in a shoe store, and he loved Breaking bad, so I bought he a pair of white Vans and painted Breaking Bad related things on them.


They were way more of a success than I anticipated, and as a result I've had a couple of commissions.
