Andrew Urrutia
My name is Andrew Urrutia and I am an artist and muralist from Seattle, Washington.
​
My journey started at age 16, painting custom footwear for myself and a few friends. Since then, I have worked with over 150 professional athletes and celebrities; from Super Bowl Champions to Grammy nominees, my work has been featured on the biggest stage.
​
I specialize in painting murals and basketball courts. I'm also widely known for my custom-painted footwear, popular among professional athletes.
​
Growing up, I was an entrepreneur, not an artist. I was fascinated by the challenge of business. I sold pencils, bumper stickers, t-shirts and more.
​
In 2017, I noticed an emerging market opportunity: custom-painted footwear in professional sports.
​
Custom cleats, "wearable art", provided a canvas for our generation to wear anything. They may have been colorful, fashionable, or goofy, but they always made us unique.
​
Today, footwear color restrictions are lifted in virtually every sports league. I'm proud to have played a role in this movement.
