style your sole!

if you aren't familiar with TOMS shoes, you should think about fixing that. {read here to see why you really should buy a pair.}

this past saturday they had a promotional event, style your soul, where customers could purchase shoes and then artists would paint them at nordstrom's.

together with fellow local artists and friends hannah, sean, colt, jordan and hilary and others, i painted, markered, and drew on shoes for six hours. it. was. a BLAST.

within half an hour of the event's opening, we were already at full capacity for the waiting list of who's shoes would be painted. we would have loved to stay forever to paint shoes, but we weren't in charge of how that went down.

unfortunately, i didn't get shots of all the shoes i did. but here are cool details

soooo....
if you have a pair of unworn shoes that you would like custom painted, we will paint some for you!
...they don't have to be TOMS shoes (but way cooler if they are, or course)
...and YOU can choose your design (or just give us a vague idea and we'll paint some Awesome).

i brought my camera and went snap-happy. these photos were taken by me, sean and hannah. for more pictures, check out hannah's post about the event.

  3. Thanks, guys! We mostly used acrylic paint and sharpie metallics. Audra, if you really do want some, I can buy the shoes for you, paint them, and send them to you; you can just write me a check or something.

    ...jus' sayin. ;)
