So my girlfriend who is a graphic designer by trade has made some custom shoes for our friends kids....I just got off from work and came home to an early birthday surprise...technically my birthday still about 20 minutes away.

So who wants to order some so I can get her to buy me my next machine?

Thumbs up to your GF & Happy B-Day.

#4 9 years ago

They aren't totally done yet but I will update ASAP.

#5 9 years ago

Cool. The printer in me has to know, are those hand-painted, screen printed, sublimated.....?

Holy smokes...that is very, very cool.

You know, she could go into business making these things. Us pinball folk would probably keep her busy for ages...

Officially...happy birthday!

I told her the same thing, if anyone really has an interest let me know she loves doing these types of projects more than her real job and it doesn't have to be pinball related she has done other themes for our friends. I think she would be way better off doing this sort of thing at least in the happiness department.

Here are some monster high ones she did for a friends 5 year old daughter.

Happy birthday, man! Very nice gift!

#16 9 years ago

Super cool! Awesome Bday gift! Happy Bday! She's really talented.

#17 9 years ago

SOOO COOL They all look great!

#18 9 years ago

I would be keen for an adult pair.

#19 9 years ago

Very cool.

#20 9 years ago

If anyone truly would want some let me know. She is interested. Would just have you get the shoes and send them with reference art that you would want so she could give you pricing.

#21 9 years ago

Nice! She have any sisters who are interested in nothing serious?

#22 9 years ago

Hah nope sorry she one of a kind and all mine.

#23 9 years ago

Tsskinne...
I heard an evil laugh at the end of ^^^^ sentence.
"muahhahhahha"

Happy B-day.

#24 9 years ago

Morning bump just to show off one more time.

#25 9 years ago

Yup we are a crazy bunch, pinball tennis shoes. But it's all in fun.

#26 9 years ago

Very cool. I might have to talk to her about some shoes. (Just watch out for copyright infringement if she tries to sell to the masses.)

Happy birthday!

#27 9 years ago

Nice! My wife has about 500 bucks saved up for a bride of pinbot/Space theme tattoo.
She's also a professional oil painter. I want her to start painting pinball themed canvases!

#28 9 years ago

Those are awesome! Love the creativity.

#29 9 years ago

What kind of shoes are those in the picture of the first post? My goal in life is to never tie a pair of shoes again. Those shoes would look excellent with a Nightmare Before Christmas theme.

#30 9 years ago

Just some plain white slip ons from target or walmart a $5-$10 pair of shoes that are now priceless.

Not only do we both have unpronounceable usernames given to us by university, but also significant others that paint shoes!

Holla at Pinball Pyramid! Is your girlfriend going?
