Hey! Thank you so much! Ive done more star wars related shoes than any others but theyre SOO much fun! I totally want to do some cartoony simplified storm troopers on white shoes.. just tons of them, someday, haha. But as for prices, it really ranges on how much you want done.. the shoes take more hours of work that shown (since some of the paint isnt opaque and takes layering, and mixing with fabric mediums!!) but can really be anywhere from 80 and up. These were all in between 80-100 (for just the work, no the shoes or shipping) but if you gave me a price of what you can work with, we can talk about doing something more simple, like a big character on the side and some other stuff.. also, if it was a tiny baby/kid shoe, it would be way cheaper of course

I would be sending you brand new shoes, not my used ones. I imagine that might be a lot better for you to work with. ;) I live in the Bay Area so it's no problem shipping them out, it'd cheaper than sending across the country!

I would love to speak to you more about this later, when I have a little more money to spend for this. Thanks for the info! :)

Edit: the image would probably have something to do with Jawas. :D

JAWAS!!! Im soo down! Im actually moving out of my beloved bay area early feb.. Im kind of freaking out about it, Ive lived in Hayward, Oakland, surrounding areas all of my life and I dont know what to do 1700 MILES AWAY!! AHHH. Anyway, if for some reason you dont have money/time to do shoes before then, Ill mail them back to you for free because I know the move is inconvenient. I do have great feedback on both eBay and etsy though so Im not going to run away with some custom shoes lol. You could KIT by emailing me at Respecttheowl@aol.com with STAR WARS SHOES as the header or find me on etsy, either way! : )

Your talent is fantastic! That level of quality AND a curved surface? Wow.

[theresonlytoday]

Thank you! I dont think everyone really gets how long it takes to paint these! And theyre weather resistant as much as your shoe is for the most part, so its an added bonus :) Thanks again!

[theresonlytoday]

Oh quit it! : ) Thank youuuu

[pronker]

You make wonderful things. Congratulations.

Thanks! Ive worked very hard and I dont want to ever stop improving. I hope to get better at this to knock down the price because it wont take me as long and more people can enjoy 'em. I DO TRADES though!
