ZEBRA + SPLATTER PAINT TOMS


splatter paint makes everything better! this was a creative way to incorporate a splash of color to the typical black and white zebra pattern. pretty cute!

CHERRY BLOSSOM TOMS


one of our most popular styles ever! the cherry blossom tree TOMS!! so feminine and pretty.

ANIME TOMS



another highly impressive pair of handpainted TOMS. both for the customers creativity and for our awesome artist MELISSA WINDHAM'S ability to recreate the customer's vision.

OCTOPUS TOMS


whattttt!! too good to be true!! but NO it is true! a cute little girl (i think around 13 years old) drew a sketch of an octopus couple. she wanted her sketch to be turned into a pair of TOMS and HNC came through!! one of our artists recreated the octopus pair on a pair of ask grey TOMS pretty perfectly. so freaking cute!!

PEACE SIGN TOMS



this pair of peace sign TOMS was ordered through email by a customer for her girlfriend "erica" and is the reason i require that all customers PREPAY!! for their custom TOMS orders. upon completion of this very specific order for handpainted TOMS, i could never reach the customer for payment and a shipping address. DUMB! now these TOMS is out at the store waiting for the just the right customer- basically an erica that wears a size 7.5 and wants black TOMS with white peace signs and her name in light blue. ah. they might be sitting a while, but at least we've stirred up lots of orders similar to this pair! and maybe, just maybe, the right girl will eventually come along and we'll have her perfect pair waiting for her!

SHOUT OUT LOUD PURPLE



i don't paint with deep purple often enough! i love what a bold statement these bright but somehow subtle TOMS make.

STRIPED TOMS x2



another pair of somewhat striped TOMS. oh and this is an "oldie but goodie" from several months back. apparently i HAVE done stripes on TOMS before and had just forgotten. this is what happens when you paint TOMS day in and day out. without pictures i forget about past projects. thank goodness this style was documented!!

STRIPEY TOMS



this is the first time i've ever done stripes on a pair of TOMS and luckily i was given pretty free reign. this customer simply requested using the pink and aqua colors and knew she wanted purple stripes all over. the result was better than she or i could have ever imagined!
