HAND DRAWN
HYPER PERSONALIZED
ORIGINAL ART
I love creating one of a kind custom shoes and accessories for my clients by blending their individualized tastes and design preferences with my bold and distinctive style. I call it "hyper personalized" - my goal is to weave your personality and inspirations into my art and generate some killer streetwear.
​
Every piece is meticulously hand drawn/painted with high quality paints and finishes to ensure a truly unique work of wearable art.
I only accept a limited number of commissions per month so I can dedicate all my attention to your piece.
​
Every piece I create is a "1 of 1" - made only for you.
No duplicates. Ever.
​
THE PROCESS
STEP 1 | DESIGN
Client selects shoes or accessory. I create a digital sketch based on your personal style, desired imagery, and/or theme.
​
STEP 2 | PAINT
Designs are hand painted using high quality acrylic and leather paint.
​
STEP 3 | FINISH
Art is protected from the elements with multiple layers of satin or gloss sealant.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What do you paint on? I paint on many different types of shoes and accessories, including Nike, Adidas, Vans, and premium luxury designer brands. I generally only work with genuine leather or canvas - in my experience those surfaces get the best, most long lasting results based on my painting process!
Will the paint rub off? No! I used high quality acrylic and leather paints that are permanent. However, please keep in mind that you are purchasing a one of a kind piece of art. The design will experience normal wear and tear as any other handcrafted item if used in rough conditions. Although many of my clients wear my shoes regularly, I also work with collectors who display their 1 of 1 shoes or wear them only occasionally.
Can I send you my shoes directly? Absolutely. I typically purchase the shoes directly from the vendor of your choice, but if you would rather send me a specific item, I am happy to accommodate.
Do you ship nationwide? Yes, I ship via Fedex Ground. Shipping may be an additional fee depending on your location.
I love a specific pair from your gallery - will you make me a pair just like those? Unfortunately I only make one of a kind designs hyper-personalized for each client. I can design something for you with a similar vibe or elements, but every item I paint is 100% unique, hand-drawn, no stencils or printed designs.
I love your designs but I am not creative and can't think of what I want! No problem! I love getting to know my client's style and tastes and figuring out the perfect solution to create a truly unique piece of art as fashion. You will also get a digital sketch to review and approve before I start painting. All you need to do is pick your favorite shoe (or I can help with that too).
How do I get started? Send an email to rck@rosannakalis.com, or DM me @rosannakalis or @rck.specials on Instagram. Tell me what type of shoe or accessory you want to have designed, your shoe size, and any thoughts on the theme and I will put together a quote. To balance with my paintings and mural work, I only paint a limited number of pairs every month - contact me today to get on the list!
