Custom Converse!

For throw back Thursday I wanted to post something a little different. Many of you may not know that I used to customize chuck Taylor's as more of a hobby. I TRIED to sell them for profit, however the work involved in creating them & making sure the design held up over time, was far too costly and would drive the cost of the shoes above what people wanted to pay. So I ended up just keeping them, or doing them for friends. 

I used paint, markers, sealers & any thing else that worked. I used non toxic sealer for the baby shoes.

The top pair I kept, & the bottom pair was for my friends daughter.

Bombshells sketch card for Bad Axe studio's women of war set

Green Dragon - Sketch Card

Here is yet another sketch card that is going to be featured in the " Worlds Of Fantasy" trading card set that will be sold at New York comicon. I'm doing a total of twenty sketch cards & one base card. I have to wait for approval before I post them, So I've been approved to post the first 10. The interesting thing about these cards is that they unfold to display a larger sketch. They are called z-sketch cards. so on the upper right hand corner is the front of the card & the lower left hand corner is the back with the signature. The rest of it folds up like a map. I've included two pics, one is just the card front & the other is the entire sketch, unfolded.

I used copic multiliners & markers for the majority of these cards.

The Green Master

Here's a pic of one of the shirts I've been hand painting, entitled " The Green Master" on a mens white, XL shirt. I've been painting them with a brush to try to get a unique look. Instead of the powdery effect you get with an airbrush, you end up with a charcoal sketch like drawing with a dash of color. I will be posting another 6 over the next few days & they are all on sale. Each shirt is a one of a kind painting. I'm working on these shirts for geeky mammas. let me know if your interested.
