My Journey
My name is Arthur, but most know me as Art. Born in Cleveland, Mississippi, I’ve always been drawn to creativity—painting, doodling, performing, anything artistic. I began painting shoes in 2003 with whatever I could find—nail polish, Sharpies, highlighters, even glitter pens—and wore each piece proudly. After stepping back to focus on family, I reignited my passion in 2019 by founding Art By Art, a brand built on creativity and authenticity. I now create custom sneakers, wooden art, and canvas pieces that fill homes and galleries. In 2022, I added 3D modeling to my craft. Today, I’m a sneaker artist, toy designer, and author—creating art that sparks emotion and tells stories.
