Karabo Gabautlwane, an artist who was born and raised in Molepolole, has decided to add shoe painting to his artworks. The young man’s shoe decoration cannot go unnoticed.

In an interview with Arts & Culture, he said he chose painting on shoes because it was cheap for people to buy as compared to artworks. He added that he uses acrylic to do his patterns. Gabautlwane also stated that he learnt that type of art through YouTube videos adding that he has been doing that art since the beginning of January this year. “My inspiration is driven from my family, friends and my fellow artists who always encourage me to do more. My favourite work is the one of SpongeBob and most people liked it very much. The public likes my works wholeheartedly and they place more orders to support me. The theme is cartoon paintings.

My marketing is based on social media where people see my works,” he said. Furthermore, he pointed out that he has not yet exhibited his new shoes painting because it was still new.
