Lindsey Roses Design
www.etsy.com/shop/LindseyRosesDesign

Due to the talents of Sacramento artist and designer Lindsey McGrath, you can have footwear that is totally unique and made just for you. McGrath takes shoes, typically Vans, Chuck Taylors, Toms, Converse and Doc Martens, and paints them in the design of your choosing. Memorialize your favorite band, album or musician on one-of-a-kind footwear, whether you prefer classic Rolling Stones, The Weeknd, Mark Ronson, Daft Punk or Johnny Cash. Beautiful floral designs can keep you thinking of springtime during the colder and wetter months, and you only need look at your shoes to mentally slip off to Maui or the Swiss Alps. McGrath can also hand paint an image from photos of your new baby, a wedding picture, vacation snapshots or other personal photos. You can also wear shoes that show your favorite book, movie, food, kid's artwork or animal.
