Description I hope I put this in the right category o_o;;

Just some white chucks I decided to piece up a couple months ago. It's my first ever, and since I don't have shoe paint to piece leather shoes like Nike Dunks, etc, I decided to go for canvas. I used my Sharpies to piece these. I tested Sharpies on my leather white shoes but it didn't seem to go well with it..it faded and rubbed off easily.

Yes, I know that the dragon and the phoenix together means marriage, but I liked how it pairs up with each other. On the dragon's opposite side, it displays Hokusai's famous tsunami, and on the phoenix's opposite, I drew traditional Chinese flames that I saw on my wall scroll. So these shoes are Asian as hell.

I wore them a couple times but it was a 1 size bigger so it was a hassle to take care of. So now it's just sitting there on display. I might wear it later on..or I dunno. A lot of people told me they liked the tsunami, so I might piece some chucks with just that.

Hey! I've been wanting to do something similar with a pair of white canvas shoes I have.
You really just used Sharpie pens for that? How did you manage to blend colors?

Sorry for the late reply.

Yeah, just Sharpie pens.

It's still moist if you apply it on chucks, and it tends to bleed a bit, so that's how the colors blend together. It kind of sucks if you want a clean outline but the black ink bleeds as much as the others. I'll figure out a way next time to see how I can fix that.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, I don't. I don't have enough knowledge on what to use on shoes to keep them permanent so I don't want people paying me money for art that'll probably scrape/fade off in a day or two.

LadyMelinoe In reply to drunkenstyle [2007-08-31 04:02:17 +0000 UTC]

If you use acrylic paint on the shoes and an acrylic glaze of some sort should keep all together and not fade, but I'd only glaze the parts you painted otherwise the shoe will go stiff.
The glaze might also work on the marker, just do it carefuly or it might smudge.
The glaze I used is by a company called golden ...
I don't know if it's wear and tear, I didn't get to keep the shoes I painted, it was for a charity thing. but they should last a bit better to the elements.
Hope this helped!!!

oh, that's nice of you that you don't want to rip people off. i know lots of people who would sell those shoes and not tell them that it would fade. thanks for telling me!!

No problemo.

So far Those sharpies are doing pretty well on my white chucks, but I barely wear them. There's this waterproof spray you can get at Footlocker or whatever shoe store and hopefully everytime you spray it on it won't fade off if you're ever interested in piecing up your own pair ;D

i'd love to make my own shoes but i would probably not finish. i've done many projects that have never been finished until i remembered them a few months or years later. i'll just keep an eye on those shoes of yours if they ever go on sale.

I would love to have shoes like that if I didn't only wear black ones with reasonable grips or good for running in.
