A pair of Converse that I painted based on Greek red-figure pottery!

The left shoe is based on this image depicting Heracles (doing that thing soccer moms who’ve just gotten back from a rough PTA meeting do, where what they say is “Oh, I’ll just have one drink” but what they mean is that they’re going to pour the entire bottle of wine into their glass) and Athena (who knew one day hipsters would be putting owls on everything and thought maybe she’d get a jump on that. Or you know wisdom or whatever)

The right shoe is based a lot more loosely on this image of Artemis (warning for nudity in that image, which I figured my shoes could do without) and the myth in which Artemis lives her best life and enacts revenge on this dude Actaeon, a hunter who hardcore creeps on her while she’s bathing, by turning him into a stag.  And then she sets his own dogs on him.  Classic Artemis.

INCREDIBLE
