Custom Painted Shoes

Hey, i remember seeing a discussion about someone who wanted to make a business out of painting shoes. Well, i was flipping thru my local New Times when lo and behold there was an article for an auction for custom painted shoes! The proceeds go to charioty. So to that unknown young visionary, yes you can benefit from painting shoes! Keep at it!

Check it out!

Yeah.. I want the proceeds to go to my pocket.. hahahaha
I was actually talking to my bf about it the other day in Journeys, this shoe store.. Because for Christmas I'm doing up a pair of super hightop converse for my best friend.
And so yeah..
I was in Journeys and Mande, of the Devotchkas, works there, I'll snap a picture on my phone next time so it doesn't seem like bullshit. But any time you guys want to head on down to Tanger in Riverhead, NY, you'll see, hahaha. But yeah, she overhead and said it was an awesome idea and I'd have to make some for her.. DOOOOPE!!!

I just have to figure out how to get people to like.. know of them.. and shit..

its definately more profitable than face painting. they were auctioning off shoes by renowned artists. you have a big market for painted shoes, as opposed to facepainting you have like a 3-12 year old market (+ retards).
