Painting on shoes

Hey everyone,

Wanted to share the finished pair on Converse Chuck Taylors I have been working on the past 2 days.These shoes are going to be given away on the Liquitex Facebook page sometime in the near future so be sure to check there often. I also wanted to give everyone some steps on how to make a pair for yourself.

First I started off by taking all the laces out and taping off the white rubber soles to avoid ruining the soles. Once that was done, I took Liquitex Fabric Medium and used it almost as a primer to stop the markers from bleeding. Once that was dry I started designing and painting the shoes with Liquitex Paint Markers. I had a great time painting these shoes and hope that everyone enjoys them as well!

Want your artwork featured on my blog?

So I’m going to start making a post everyday featuring another artist’s work. I will make a post featuring 1 work along with description, artist, bio and website (facebook, other blog things like that) if you have one.

It must be a work of art made with either Liquitex, Winsor & Newton, Conte a Paris or letraset! So send me an email to mikeotheintern@gmail.com with all of this info and I will feature your work as soon as today!!!

I look forward to seeing everyones work!
