James, a muralist from Detroit whose art focuses on Black women in America; Chris Martin, an artist that examines the African Diaspora and southern history; and Tony Whlgn, creator of the Whlgn®, a design firm in Detroit.
Every week this month, Vans will feature a new artist, sharing their stories and promoting their custom designs, which are available to purchase now.
