Jun 28 · About the shoes I'm painting and a random photo

Hello people! Just wanna thank you for all the comments, faves, features and adds, I don't have enough time to thank each one of you, so I wanted to let you know I appreciate it a lot!
I have received many messages asking me about the shoes and my hair, so here are the answers:

* The custom shoes are a project for Nike Colombia, they will be for sell on August only in this country, I don't customize shoes and sell them by internet because the delivery fees in here are extremely expensive, sorry! .

* I paint these shoes with leather paints, because they're made almost 100% of leather, don't try to paint any different material with these, anyway,they are like acrylics (water based), the brand I'm using, "Prisma", is Colombian, so I don't know if it's available in other countries. A friend of mine told me he's using Zig Posterman and they work good. You can find the paints in specialized stores where they sell leather and shoemaker's stuff. I add a sealant varnish at the end so they'll be more protected.

* Here is a very complete tutorial for those who want to paint leather shoes, maybe you find the stuff this guy used easier than the ones I mentioned above, have fun: [link]

* The brand dye I use for getting so awesome colors in my hair is Twister, you can find it in specialized stores for hairdressers, and yes! if you're not blonde you HAVE to bleach your hair before dye it, if you don't you will not get bright colors specially if you want pale colors like pink or turquoise blue, I have to bleach it twice before... there's a photo of the dye packaging, so you can see I'm not lieing, hehe!: [link]

* You can mix the dye with the white mixer of the same brand for getting paler colors. You can replace the mixer for conditioner without color until you get the color you want.

* There's many ways of taking care of your dyed hair, use less drier/iron and use liquid silicon and special treatments of keratin, ask to your hairdresser to recommend you any. If you take care of your hair since the first day you dye it you will not have to get back to boring-black / boring-brown 1 month later.

I think that's all, if you have any other question about leave it here.
And a photo of the making of the mohawk.

Jun 5 · My Geisha photo has been stolen

A Japanese restaurant in Poland, Gugo Sushi, is using my photo GEISHA WITHOUT any permission. Is THAT hard to ask for permission before using an image? people always take the "easy" way, just download images from internet and don't even think about the author or the legal part.
They're using it in their website, I can believe they wrote "Copyrights by Gugo" just below the photo...
