Commissions Reopening Soon!!

Hi everyone!!

Sorry this page has been “dead” for quite awhile. I’ve been dealing with many (mostly positive!) changes in my life and unfortunately I needed to close my shoe commissions to get things together and find a good rhythm with work, life ect. All in all, I did it to ensure I create the best painted shoes possible once I reopen my commissions. 

To make life easier for me and everyone else, I’ll officially announce the reopening on my YouTube channel. In that video, I’ll also do a rundown of my FAQs, pricing, shipping ect. to make sure my process and timeline are as clear as possible. So if you want to be among the first to know when I reopen commisions, please subscribe to my channel! And check out my “Shoes” playlist if you’d like to get a glimpse into my process.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGS4kIqSIqKQlL03J97TW0w

I don’t have a set date to reopen commissions at the moment, but it should be within the next few weeks. 

Once again a HUGE thank you to all who have liked/reblogged my Captain America and Hamilton shoe posts!!! All of your kind comments have not gone unnoticed!

Pulling Back The Reins

Hey guys!

So since this whole thing started I’ve been striving to continue filling orders as well as creating new shoe designs. I attempted to launch a YouTube channel and keep up with a Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr. It’s been a lot of fun but also a lot of work considering I am also keeping a full time job.

While creating new designs I’ve been running into a problem, and that problem is that I need practice. I need to practice painting, I need to practice hand-lettering, I need to practice new techniques. I am VERY new to the world of hand-painting shoes and I fear that I am already running my business into the ground because of my rash decisions. 

I learned that lesson the hard way with the Hamilton shoes. I tried hand-lettering lyrics without any kind of practice and it turned out horribly (hence why there’s only photos of the outside). I had another pair of shoes that I dove into way too fast, made too many mistakes and now they are beyond saving. 

So at this point, I will not set a date to open my Etsy shop and I am temporarily suspending my Walking Works of Art YouTube account and I may possibly delete my Twitter account. I want to spend a lot of time honing my technique and creating new designs so that when I do open my Etsy shop, my products will be top-of-the-line, high quality, and truly be the best artwork I can offer.

THIS DOES NOT MEAN I WILL STOP TAKING ORDERS! In fact I ENCOURAGE new orders, especially designs I’ve never tried before! The more practice I can get, the better! I would love to try creating new designs for all of the amazing fandoms out there, and if given a chance, I’ll make the best shoes out there, and that is a promise.

I’ll still be posting regularly, but at this point you’ll be seeing a lot more paper and canvas boards than shoes. But I hope you’ll continue to follow me along on this journey, it’s just taking a slight detour =) I’ll also still be on Facebook and Instagram.

And of course, if you’d like to put in an order for some amazing canvas shoes, please email me at [email protected] or message me here!

Drafting some ideas for Nightmare Before Christmas shoes! (Pardon the random notes, I sketched this in my work notebook) I'm a little hesitant to create a Nightmare shoe design since there seems to be so many designs out there already, but I'm really liking where this is going so far!

[walkingworksofart]

I'm beginning to consider using knock-off brand shoes for design samples. I have a bunch of ideas for new designs but it's hard to drop $55 for a brand new pair of Converse or Vans for each of my design samples. I think what I may do is offer knock-off brand shoes as a starting point for pricing and then have an option to upgrade to the name-brand shoes. This will help me create more design samples without breaking the bank and will allow me to offer another option for those who don't care about name-brands. I hope this reasoning makes sense!

[walkingworksofart]

The sample Hamilton shoes are just about done! More photos coming soon!

And with that my friends, my latest order of Captain America shoes are complete! They'll be off to their new home tomorrow! I guess this means....I'm open for new orders! Shoot me a message or email me at [email protected] to get yours started!
