I want thoose!

anyway im slightly dissapointed, every time grumpygamer shows up in my rss reader im expecting deathspank info :)

You and me both. Quit twittering in your blog, Ron!

j/k, cool shoes, have seen them before but forgot where.
Which clearly proves my superiority in finding Monkey Island-related internet-stuff, so where shall I send my resumé to?

Sweet shoes, a girl from Marid made them as it seems

Jesus, I mean, I love Monkey Island as much as the next guy, but what is it with Spain and Guybrush? Get a room already, sheesh...

Very nice!

Although they don't look like the kind of shoes a flooring inspector would wear.

I'd buy them for 1000 pieces of eight.

How appropriate, you fight like a cow!

I need, and I mean medically need, these shoes.

Oh my. I would wear those. To my own wedding.

What next? DeathSpank thongs?

Can I pre-order?

Did she get them when she found the Treasure of Melee Island?

I want them.

That is so cool! now i need one pair!! let ask for two, better.

It's obvious Kohl's has them! They use the Monkey Island theme song after all!

It must be a LucasArts/Kohl's conspiracy....

Ooh, I definitely want a pair of those!
I like the colours, and they actually have scenes from Monkey Island to boo...
Oops, almost made a terrible pun by accident.

Did I mention I want those shoes.

Wonderful shoes, I too - would like a pair.

yep, Spain is full of MI fans, myself included (two days ago my sister bought me one of those Swordmaster tshirt P_^ aaarr!!) ...

Anyway... It would be cool to have those great great shoes... Maya?... pretty pleasee? porrrfaaa!! ;)

I could swear I saw someone make a comment on one of your blog posts about making those shoes.  He'll (she'll?) probably show up soon enough in the comments and discuss making the shoes.

But holy cripes on toast.  I need a pair of those shoes.  I would be willing to pay.  :D

Yeah I saw that too! I think it was a she. Don't remember which post though...

In the comments section of the "LeKohl's" post back in January.

I'd wear 'em.

Aw she was actually addressing Ron directly about the shoes two months back and he didn't even notice! This is embarrassing Ron, I think you owe Maya an apology. :|

interesting conversation

It is indeed. It points out that Ron doesn't read every comment, as he claims. Otherwise he would have read her message to him about these shoes. I read that too.

Ah, so those are the famous Converse "LeChuck's".

i like this game! but this shoe business is a littlebit too much for me.
i'd like a monkey island kilt much more. :D

Sorry Ron, but that particular pair was just painted by a girl as a gift for her friend! One of a kind!

'Twould've been cool to be able to buy one, though. Converse, there's a market for this, y'hear?

My stinky feet don't deserve'em!

Ah, that girl lives somewhere here in Madrid, I HAVE to find her.

Aparently you can see the process of making in this picture gallery

The guy who painted those shoes is the champ of all champs... wow...

someday you'll get a nice pic of my car. But first thing I need is money. I really thought of making my car an MI-car with integrated SCUMMVM-console. I don't know if anyone in Germany could be able to do this. But it lacks of money first.^^

I've never seen such cool shoes in this country :(

Hi! I'm the shoe maker  ^^

And I still can't believe I'm seeing my All Stars in Ron Gilbert's website... :^O  Really, thank you so much for the nice words I'm reading in these comments, it means a lot to me!

Actually, I was happy enough that last year Ron posted a YouTube link to a Monkey Island guitar I had painted (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2W-YQB8RHs4). This site may be the only place where my Monkey Island home-made merchandise obsession doesn't sound creepy! xD

Thanks again, really! And lots of love from a spanish fan!

Loved the guitar and love the shoes! You're very talented!

waiiiiiit don't go make me some shoes!

LOL  I'm still around!

Which begs the point... how much would you charge to paint a pair of shoes for those of us with insane Monkey Island love?

Many people are asking me, but it took me so long to paint them (an entire weekend, non-stop) that, calculating the hours of work, I couldn't make another pair for less than 300 euros  :S    So I guess I won't make a living out of this  xD

But I'm painting a Day of the Tentacle pair at the moment, and the design is easier, so it will take me less time. I guess I'll try to sell them on eBay or something, like I did with the MI guitar  :)

Bookmarked your blog - a pair of DotT shoes will be neat to see when they're done :D

OMG OMG A month since my last visit and I see THIS!
OMG!
OMFG!
Y encima hechas por una española! Si señora! :D
Aprovecha aprovecha, oportunidades como estas solo salen una vez en la vida xD
Fabricalas en masa, vendelas, dale la parte de copyright que le toca a Gilbert, el vuelve al mundo de Monkey Island, tu te quedas con una buena pasta y todos contentos!
Ya lo veo: Monkey Island 3: La verdad (dedicado a Maya)
xD

Really great stuff, and... I want those either :B
And sure, Khol owns you so...ups....

¡Ay, ojalá fuera tan fácil...!
Un beso de una fan española, ¡somos legión!  :P

¡Lo somos!
Maya, you are a genius!
Does your friend actually wear them?

Me quito el sombrero y me quedo sin palabras.

Un abrazo de otra fan española y mucho ánimo, que es difícil pero no imposible ;)

B.

PS: just imagine the honour of Ron Gilbert presented with a pair of those!

Otro abrazo de otra fan española. ¡Claro que somos legión! :D

I want a pair of those! =)

y otro saludo de un super fan español!
si que somos un monton, muy chulas las converse Maya!

I hope the lines in SpankDeath aren't as dull as Ron's recent blog posts. He seems to get out of material.

DeathSpank perhaps?

Why does everyone keep mentioning SpankDeath? ahhh. oh well.

it`s amazing how we, monkey island fans really resent Gilbert for bailing out on us for so long (we all do, in some level). I think we can`t really love genius until it dies, or until it regains the rights to MI.

well a genius never dies because we'll keep this genius in our hearts where he can live forever. So there's just the second option left (or the second dialogue choice) and I don't think that the master mind ever gets his hands on the rights of MI.

A man can dream. (of George Lucas disappearing from the face of the universe, or at least the earth around 1999)

I'd prefer the acquiring the rights to MI option rather than the dying option.
Just personal preference...

yeah I understand that fact. But remember all those Peter Molyneux- games lately. None of them were a huge success in the gaming industry. So thinking of that I wouldn't push a mastermind to recreate something that he had in his head for several years. I don't know how good the real story of MI will be but I think, Ron Gilbert should write down the story on several pieces of paper, put it in a treasure chest and lock it down. Then he writes some riddles on the treasure chest like "The treasure inside will find its way out much earlier before you ever find out the Secret of Monkey Island." that will help to find the key. I hope he doesn't hide it the "Rapp Scallion"-way. I don't want the key coming out of his mouth... or any other body opening.

I can't believe it takes that long to tighten up the graphics! Free DeathSpank!

Wonder when Ron will finish with the Hobbit. It's the one constant you notice every time you visit the website.

Nahhh its easy for her!! Maya can make other thinks much better than this Converse, she has much talent that she knows. Believe me people, i know this girl.
Maya enjoy it, cos it serves you right.

Now u have to draw moreee!!!

Sorry for my spaghetty english :)

I'm just really, really concerned, Ron, that you'll pull an April 1st prank on us this year. You've been building up anticipation for years now, denying your practice of the 'prank'. It's the perfect setup. I'm keeping my eye on you and your shallow attempts at misdirection.

She's done some Day of the Tentacle ones too!!
