Description
***IMPORTANT***If you seen my shoes posted elsewhere, PLEASE notify me. Stealing my work will make me very, very angry. If you are inspired by my shoes, and have asked to use my ideas, that's okay. I do not permit directly trying to copy my ideas, or making them completely the same. NOT COOL PEOPLE.
----->FULL VIEW! -- Or you'll be missing out! ;D <-----
SHOE #1 -- FINISHED! -- Yes, this is only one shoe hehe. [Left shoe.]
Shoe #2 -- FINISHED!! :: [link]
BOTH SHOES :: [link]
These converse first started out totally white, and the main objective with them was to eliminate all white areas on the shoes. I think for the first shoe, I accomplished that pretty well hehe.
Done completely with sharpies, and a hell of a lot of time and patience.
Multiple words/lyrics/sayings are scattered throughout my shoes. And I tried to make them as colorful as possible. :]]
Hope you enjoy them!!!
WOW!
I can't believe how many freaking views/faves/comments this has received!
I have seriously enjoyed reading EVERY comment that has been written, and I will continue to try to respond to them all hehe.
As for all the faves, I appreciate it SO MUCH.

I've decided to add a FAQ just because I've gotten about a million of the exact same questions, so hopefully this helps.
FAQ:
Q: How did you get the markers to not bleed? Did you spray them first or something?
A: I didn't spray them at first with anything. There is really no technique to the blending, I honestly just colored. I did have some bleeding though, I simply covered it up with the outlines/borders. :]
Q: What size sharpies did you use?
A: I used mostly the regular sized ones, along with the fine tip and in a few areas the chisel tip ones.
Q: What colors were these at first?
A: White.
Q: How did you get the converse emblem thing off? [The circle with the star that says converse.]
A: I took some pliers, and tore it off. Once you get the edges going, I would highly recommend using your hands to get the rest off.
Q: Did you spray these with anything? Sealers, waterproofers, etc?
A: I sprayed them with like, a Prismacolor finish thing, I don't think it really did anything to them though haha.
Q: Will you sell me these?
A: No. :]
Q: Do you do commissions?
A: No, I dislike commissions, a lot. Haha I'm too nervous the buyer won't like what I make. Buuuuut, if I do make another pair [Which I am], they will be for sale.
Q: What happens when they get wet?
A: I don't know, I haven't worn them in the rain or snow or anything.
Try to read this before you ask anything else. xD

I definitely will.
And don't worry, most of it is pretty different.
They are low-tops. I just used the multi colored background.

Hi im in the process of designing my own shoes and i would like to use some of ur designs idk witch ones but i wanted to ask u first so..... May i please use some of your shoe designs?????

KalieMONSTER In reply to ii-AcEoFsPaDeS [2010-01-28 00:23:22 +0000 UTC]
Well, like I've told other people, none of these designs are like, patented lol, or invented solely by myself, so of course you could do things like mushrooms and stars and all that and I can't do anything about it haha. But I don't really permit copying it. As in trying to duplicate exactly how I designed mine.

Well like, I guess elaborate. XD What exactly are you aiming for with your shoes? You want them to be colorful? Or you want them to have some of the same/similar drawings/words as mine?

ii-AcEoFsPaDeS In reply to KalieMONSTER [2010-01-28 22:47:28 +0000 UTC]

KalieMONSTER In reply to ii-AcEoFsPaDeS [2010-01-30 01:33:48 +0000 UTC]

Lekz In reply to ??? [2010-01-18 08:03:19 +0000 UTC]
awesome!
one question tho, would the sharpie bleed off if it gets wet? I'd like to sharpie up a pair of white connies, but I would use them a lot and it would be a shame if the art just faded off :/
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
KalieMONSTER In reply to Lekz [2010-01-18 18:55:31 +0000 UTC]
Well, to an extent eventually a lot of it will come off. Like, the stuff on the rubber parts of the shoes will surely get scratched off at some point, and usually after a while converse tear a lot, and so eventually, these shoes will prolly be toast.
I don't know if it will bleed if it gets wet, haha I don't wear them much and when I do I'm paranoid as hell about messing them up. XD

golddfische In reply to ??? [2010-01-17 12:33:39 +0000 UTC]
Do they run in the rain at all? Or are you just careful when you wear them? I'm interested in colouring my shoes but I'm not sure what material to use

KalieMONSTER In reply to golddfische [2010-01-17 17:28:26 +0000 UTC]
Haha well, I haven't worn them in the rain or snow at all.
I dont wear them much at all really, more just for show cuz I'm too nervous to take them out.
This summer tho, I will prolly break them in. :]

these are absolutely stunning!
I have a pair of white knockoff converse (they were only like six dollars so if I fuck up it's not as big a deal!) and I'm going to draw on them P: And this is inspiring.
I want a little monster that says 'I eat babies' on my converse! ): But that'd be stealing your idea. lol
