art shoes

here are some pics of my latest work---painted shoes. an officemate's gray pair  of vans got stained by bleach and he asked if i could paint over it. after much hemming and hawing, i finally got around to it and i think it looked quite nice.

 the ckient wanted bright colors for summer so i painted it all over with a light blue that looked so fresh and soothing to the eye, i actually was tempted to leave it like that! ... i did worry that it looked to kiddie so i made the guy on one shoe hold a san miguel beer bottle....

 ...and the right shoe has a sexy lady in a hot white bikini!

plus some nice details at the back like a sea turtle and some coconut trees...
