Kids shoes by David A. Robles in Phoenix

My name is David, I discovered I had some art talent around 7th and 8th grade. I started off with graffiti. I had a passion for graffiti. I use to also do sketches for friends and family for like party flyers or if they wanted a tattoo I would draw the picture of what they wanted and they would take the pic to a tattoo artist and get the tattoo of the drawing. So off and on through my life I would do art on the side like a small hobby if I had the time. A friend of mine worked at a pediatric clinic and referred me to the owner of the clinic who was looking for someone to paint a mural for kids of a jungle theme with animals on the wall inside the clinic. Graffiti was all I really had done as far as art work. So this was something new to me. Well I was hired to do the job. It took me about a month to complete the job, it was a huge wall in the hall way area. The owner loved it and so did the parents and kids who went to the clinic. A few years later they had called me back to do another wall, and they wanted a under the sea theme also another wall down the hall way to do a playground with kids playing. That was my first actual customer who I had made alot of money with painting murals. I started getting more buisness from parents who went to the clinic and saw my art work. I've done small businesses such as ice cream shops , gymnastics gym, I've also done garages with sports teams ect..... A few years ago around Christmas time I wanted to male some extra money so I got into making custome shoes for kids. I did a few pair and posted them on Facebook and started to get a lot of business off of that. During the whole month I've was pretty busy doing shoes for like $60 a pair. Then I started doing back packs for kids at the beginning of school year. I've also done some canvases for people. I love doing art work. I love to see the smiles on people's faces who I've done art work for. I have 3 boys who are also talented with art. I support them alot and encourage them to take art to a higher level then what I've done with it. ART IS JUST A BEAUTIFUL FEELING WHEN IT MAKES OTHERS HAPPY.
