Kickin' Game: Graffiti Street Art & Custom Sneakers "The Life of an Artist & creating Full-Time

Streetwear, graffiti, sneakers, and creativity have always gone hand in hand, but behind every artist is a story most people never hear. In this episode of Kickin’ Game, we sit down with Dos Mas Studios and Visionary Kicks to talk about what it really takes to bet on yourself as an artist. From graffiti walls and sketchbooks to custom sneakers and working with athletes, this conversation dives into the creative grind behind building a life through art. One guest walked away from a stable city/government job to pursue art full time, choosing passion over comfort and taking the risk to chase creativity for a living. The other battled through jobs, school, and paths that never truly felt right before eventually finding purpose as a full-time sneaker customizer in Portland, Oregon.
