Study for a large, soon to be 24" x 24" painting on beechwood. I intentionally have laid it out so it looks like an out of register print. I may change the green up to real gold leaf... I still have some kicking around from the skateboard.
Okay... so I am finally going to get off my ass and make some of my Skully Vans (see the pics on the right or search this blog to see my completed original canvas pair)... I am starting with some slick ladies black patent leather Vans I have found. This is a pre-order to let me know how many and what sizes I need to purchase to start making them. My plan is to include 3 interchangeable tongue options: white, grey and pink. Pink stitching and pink sole. These will sell for $185 US... not cheap, but they will be limited to 15 pairs (first ordered, first served). I will take orders with a $50 deposit (balance due upon completion of shoes). Accepted orders will be completed by Halloween 2009.
**Caveat Emptor**... since these are custom, made to order shoes please order size carefully, no substitutions or refunds will be given. Also note, this design does remove material from the shoe, I cannot guarantee the durability of these shoes, they are more fashion over function, so again no refund or substitution will be given for damage occuring after arrival of product. Refund will be given on deposit if I cannot complete the project due to material issues, etc. To pre-order a pair, please email me at dspringer@sympatico.ca or leave me a message here on this blog. Please have shoe size, contact info and shipping address ready.
