305. Mural Collabs with Nike, Ralph Lauren, Reebok and more with ELLE Street Artist

Artist Academy

This week’s episode features New York artist ELLE. She’s been featured in a variety of different high-profile brand collaboration projects and has traveled around the world painting murals.

I always give the advice of doing a free mural or two to get practice/photos to advertise later, but ELLE got her start painting, not just for free, but illegally on the streets of New York. She put her art in front of passerby eyes to see and get noticed in order to get jobs. She wasn’t just spray painting her name up on the wall. ELLE practiced to create eye catching art that served as a building block to the career she now has.

I’m so impressed by her and I know you will be too. Let me know what you think of this week’s episode with street artist ELLE.
