Freehand Profit is an LA-based artist internationally known for his work transforming highly sought after sneakers into one-of-a-kind masks! We first met years ago when he shared his Mask365 project , which was inspired by my own Skull-A-Day project! In this interview we talk about our mutual experiences as working artists attempting to make a living from our passions. 

In this hourlong conversation we discuss: 

 • The artist's education
 • Working with galleries
 • Valuing your work
 • Making a living
 • Priorities and balance
 • Your unique vision
 • Art collectors
 • Goals
 • Success & fame 
 • and more!
