Hand-Painted Shoes

I am incredibly honored to have my Catching Fire themed shoes on display at The Hunger Games Exhibition!  This exhibition continues to travel the world after beginning its journey in Times Square.

I am open for painting commissions. Examples of my work can be seen in the gallery below. Please submit inquiries via the email link at the bottom of this page.  I always appreciate upfront transparency about pricing without having to contact someone first, so here is a rough estimate of my starting prices:

BASIC DESIGN: no more than 3 colors. will feature some text and/or basic illustration, no characters or portraits. see the "Okay? Okay." shoes in the gallery below for an example of a basic design - roughly $45 plus the cost of your shoes. 

CHARACTER DESIGN: full color, themed with cartoon character faces and/or symbols. see the "Balloon House" and "Blue and Orange Heeler dog" shoes below for the most basic starting point under this option (Up to 3 icons or characters, paint only on the toes of shoes) - roughly $75 plus the cost of shoes.
see the "Neverland" shoes below for the high end price point under this option (full 360 degree design) - roughly $300 for a full 360 design and multiple characters. Plus the cost of shoes.

PORTRAIT DESIGN: full color, full 360 design, human or animal portraits plus any desired symbols or patterns. see the "Catching Fire" and "Aerosmith" shoes for examples of this option - starting price is $450 plus the cost of shoes.


*Shoes can be from Wal-Mart, Vans, or anything in between. It is your choice based on what you'd like to spend, and your personal preference.  If you have shoes in your possession that you'd like me to use, you can ship them to me. Otherwise, you will let me know your desired shoe type and size, and I will order them directly to me. 

*Every custom order is different, therefore your prices may end up looking quite different depending on what you'd like.  These are simply to give an idea based on past creations.
