I paint your favorite styles directly onto leather or canvas so you can walk in art that is 100% you. ✨ ## Photos and videos - ![A side profile of a custom-painted high-top.

This ensures the leather acrylics bond properly so your design does not crack or peel when you are out walking. It is the boring prep work, but it is exactly what makes the difference between art that flakes off and art that actually lasts. Your sneakers deserve to be as loud or subtle as you want. I use professional-grade flexible leather acrylics, such as Angelus, that move with your shoe rather than against it. Whether you are after a clean checkerboard pattern, bold graffiti lettering, or intricate character details, I focus on the tiny stuff so the final look really pops. ### How the process works - **Consultation:** You send me your idea or inspiration. We chat about design placement and details. - **Preparation:** I perform a chemical deglazing on leather shoes to ensure the paint sticks. - **Painting:** I apply the design, updating you with progress shots. - **Protection:** I finish with a scratch-resistant sealer to keep your art fresh. Please keep in mind that these are for casual wear, not heavy sports usage. The finish is water-resistant, but it still needs a little love. If you have a pair of shoes sitting in your closet that need a new identity, shoot me a message and let us see if we can bring them to life. ## About Megha I am Megha. I quit the safe path to paint full-time, and honestly, it is the best decision I ever made. Whether it is a crazy graffiti piece or subtle color blocking, I treat every pair of sneakers like a blank canvas. Let us make something cool together.
