Artist's Comments

shoes i did to wear to work. They're a symbol of what i do (i know it sounds cheesey). I work at the IACC (Irvine Animal Care Center). We primarily take in Dogs, Cats and Rabbits (as seen on the left shoe) but we also take in various wildlife like Opossums, Raccoons, Rats, Squirrels, Turtles, Snakes and Crows (along with other animals that i ran out of room for :O )

The back of the left shoe features the symbol for the shelter and the back of the right says IACC.

wewt.

art (c) moi
shelter symbol (c) City of Irvine...?

^^ I'll post a picture of him sometime so you can see. He's so cute! XD
How did you go about getting a job there?? And are you hiring by any chance? Oh and back to the shoes, how'd you color them?? They really are like the best shoes ever XD

I dunno if we're hiring, i know that we just hired a bunch of people :/ but you can check out the City of Irvine website under employment, or stop by the shelter and ask the office staff. I sent in a job ap through the city web page.

I used Prismacolor markers on the shoes along with a clear varnish to water seal them (although i still wouldn't go stompin around in puddles with them :O ). The trick is to put the varnish on before AND after you color them or else the markers bleed (i sketched out the design with a pencil, did the outlines with a 01 prismacolor pen, erased the pencils, put on the varnish, colored, and then revarnished them).

Did you have to have any special requirements to get a position? and does it pay well?

That's awesome. Markers in general aren't my friend though XD

markers arn't my friend either XD I'm still kinda getting used to them >.>

Animal experience is a plus for qualifying. I worked at an animal hospital for 2 years prior to the shelter so that helped. i only work about 20-25 hours a week, but it pays $13.50/hr.
