Our Founder, Derrik, started his career selling a $300 mural and hitting only $30,000 in total sales in his first year as an artist. After years of mistakes, Derrik has scaled Influential Walls as an agency and collective that has worked with some of the most talented artists in the world and closing single deals worth over $100,000. We have had the opportunity to work with brands like the Boston Red Sox, huge tech consulting firms like Accenture, and, perhaps most importantly, dominated the niche of education in California, painting school murals across the state and teaching youth about the importance of refining your business acumen as an artist. Derrik founded this company for you - the artist. To teach you how to dominate a niche, how to find passion projects that pay you what you are worth, and learn how to solve problems through art services so you are not positioned as just another commodity in the market.
WE'RE ABOUT TO RESHAPE YOUR FUTURE
If you're here, it's because you're likely feeling lost, alone, or inadequate to some degree in regards to your journey in the arts. This is something every artist has gone through to a certain extent. The intention behind our Influential Walls Elite Mentorship Program is to eliminate those feelings and eliminate the starving artist mentality.
This Program is the industry's leading mentorship program for muralists. It is designed to turn an artist into a brand strategist, designer, marketing expert, and powerful negotiator.
Mentees receive one-on-one coaching with various collective members in Influential Walls, including our Founder, Derrik Diza, UX/UI Expert and Muralist, Morgan Zion, Hyperrealism Muralist and Graphic Designer, Steve Martinez, and Upscale Illustration Muralist and Graphic Designer, Otto Martinez.
Welcome young grasshopper. Let's get it!
What Comes with the Influential Walls Mentorship Program?
We offer different Mentorship Packages dependent on where you are at in your career. You may have only a couple murals under your belt, want to quit your job, and go full-time in the art world. On the contrary, you may have sold $100,000 worth of murals last year all through word-of-mouth and want consistent leads that have larger budgets. Some of you may want to focus on studio work and just paint a few murals a year that are with large commercial companies.
Mentorship is custom fit to each artist we work with.
