New shoes

A class mate of mine recently asked me to color his shoes. We negotiated a price of $25 and I was off to make it the awesomest thing ever. The shoes he gave me were Nike Air Force 1's, and it took me about a week to finish. I spent a good lot of late nights coloring these shoes too. Overall, I would have to say it took me about 16-19 hours to do finish this.

And here is the final product.

Shoes!

A while back someone asked me to color a pair of shoes for her daughter's birthday.  I say, ok.  Let's do this, it took me a only a few hours to do this, and I am pretty satisfied with what I did.  

I free hand by the way with a little bit of preparation.  

Comissions have been slow lately, being in high school you tend to not have too much money, neither do the kids that pay you to do this stuff.  Despite me just being a teenager, I'm kinda feeling the burn of the recession.  

No I'm not.  XD 

Oreos in background are no sublime messages to go get oreos, I was just eating oreos while I was doing this.  

I did a real guitar too.

Before the Guitar Hero faceplate was done, there was an actual real guitar.  A friend of mine learned that I colored shoes for profit (OH SNAP! shoes too!) and asked me if I could color his guitar.  I accepted and whipped out my sharpies, (me being an amateur and a kid in high school, I don't have that kind of money to get really good material, but it still ended up looking awesome) and started to color away.  It took my a good month or so to finish.  

It's a squier by the way, it's my first and only custom guitar so far, but I suppose it's best to start off on a crap guitar than start on an expensive guitar.  

Oh, I noticed I clearly had my artists signature on the picture of the back.  I poorly photoshopped my signature out for safety reasons.  You can kinda tell where I poorly photoshopped it.  XD

Guitar Hero Faceplate

My cousin is a pretty intense Guitar Hero player and he asked if I could color his faceplate, and me being his cousin and all I did it free of charge.  And I think the picture of the finished prodcut really reflects both aspects of the blog, oh yeah.  I did this all in sharpie too, then I proceded to put some laquer on.
