Footwear can be painted to be ready by a particular date, or live on location for events.

Three styles of customizing your footwear are available: Airbrushing, brush painting, and ink marker.

Ink Markers are the fastest of the three mediums in terms of drawing time and drying time. The ink is permanent and durable. Airbrushing has that special airbrushing look to it but it requires more time to do and to dry. To keep things reasonable usually only names and maybe a logo are painted on.

Examples:

• Image #1 was a commission from MTV Canada, for graffitti style airbrushed shoes which required preparation/masking, custom stencils and a gloss finish. (Client provides the footwear)
• Image #2 was also a commission from MTV Canada, for graffitti style ink marker art which required preparation/masking and original freehand artistry. (Client provides the footwear)
• Image #3 was a comission from Converse Shoes Canada for original airbrushed shoes which required preparation/masking. (Client provides the footwear)

For live painting at an event:

• A 50% deposit is required to book the artist for the date and the time, and the difference will be due when the artist/s arrive and setup / begins.
• The date and time is NOT reserved until the deposit is received in full. The deposit is non refundable 7 days before the event.
• Payment can be by cash, Paypal payments or e-transfer.
• CAD$150 per hour

For customizing: Steps to painting shoes, boots and other footwear with specific imagery and designs:

1. Firstly, the footwear (client provided) often needs to be cleaned, wiped down with specific degreasers, or maybe lightly scuffed to give the paint something to soak into and bond.
2. Then it usually has to be masked off carefully in order to protect areas from being painted.
3. After the shoes have been prepared, the artwork has to be sized up and marked out onto the shoes, assuming that the art is ready. Some shoe materials like leather and suade, require special primers, paints and finishes, which likely have to be specially purchased and shipped to me, which is an added cost to you paid up front, with a 15% markup.
4. If the artwork is not ready, then it has to be prepared/drawn; stencils cut, if required.
5. Once the art / stencils are ready, painting this footwear can take at least one hour to a few full work days, depending on the final result required, HD movie quality for example.
