First, what medium does she use? She only uses System 3 Daler Rowney Acrylics. They're a pretty good brand which I've used for over 2+ years. Acrylics are the kind of paint, which after drying, does not wash out with water. Kari is very new to the sneaker painting business, but so far, hasn't seen the need for fixative of any kind.
What does Kari draw? Kari usually likes doing/and can do animals, nature, intricate designs and tribal tattoo designs - though if what you want does not fall into that category, just ask and she'll see if she can do your request.
How does Kari go about it? Kari gets the request, eg. "I want a little crazy, like flowers and squiggles and lots of pastels." Kari then takes that and interprets it, and paints the shoe directly - little to no planning and sketching done. Its very impromptu and instinctual. She's sorry she can't do a draft, but if you have any specific ideas, do give things like patterns or photos for her to reference and she will do her best to put that onto the shoe.
Price: The standard is around S$35 per pair. This covers mostly the time taken, as well as paint. The price is negotiable and depends on design - more intricate, more expensive.
Time Taken: It will take Kari between 2-4 weeks to complete. She will only take 2-3 orders at any one time (1 pair = 1 order)
How do I pay her? Kari prefers if the person can pay on the meet-ups; On the first one to pass the sneakers and maybe discuss design, a deposit would be paid. It is half the price of the shoe, and when Kari gives the completed shoes, you pay the other half. Its that simple!
Interested? Leave your email on my tagboard and I'll correspond with you! :3
Please note: Sneakers not included - please provide your own pair of blank, clean, canvas sneakers for me to draw on. They can be of any colour, although white or black is preferable.
