Rainbow Art Converseby ~Kadsy

WARNING: This file is probably HUGE, so it might take quite a while to load.

I'm super proud of these things. I got a pair of white Converse hi-tops for Christmas with the intent of doing something amazing. I got my chance in my Graphic Design class. We were doing a self-portrait image transfer project. I decided to use my shoes and one of my favorite art styles: rainbow art.

The shoes were sketched out then inked using a black Prismacolor marker. (I tried tech pen, but the lines weren't bold enough.) The shoes were given a day to dry fully, then coloring began with bright colors of Prismacolor marker. I did the watercolor effect on the background with the markers combined with the colorless blender where I wanted it to blend into the white/another color. I finished with a purple lace, woven like a star. I thought the star would compliment the stars all over the shoes, and the Converse star.

I'm still debating over if I want to wear these or not.. I don't want to ruin them, but at the same time I want people to see them.

The sticker looking thing is my self-portrait image. I'm not that happy with it, but it does look cool on the shoes in person.

Heh. I've only seen it done with markers, and I figured they'd have more of a color range than paints.

Thanks for the comment.

love the laces

~Kadsy Oct 4, 2009

Thanks.

Unfortunately, they're /really/ hard to tighten.

~racheluna13 Oct 4, 2009

i can imagine. BUT THEY'RE AMAZING. XD

~Kadsy Oct 4, 2009

I'm afraid to wear them.

~racheluna13 Oct 4, 2009

no!!!! WHY!?

~Kadsy Oct 4, 2009

I don't want the marker to run. That would ruin the shoes!

~racheluna13 Oct 4, 2009

oh.. i see. :/

~Kadsy Oct 4, 2009

Yeah.

We sprayed them with waterproofing stuff, but I don't trust it.
