From humble pop-up shops in Wynwood to selling a $5,000 glass portrait of Snoop Dogg, Art By Friday has built a career around creativity, strategy, and shock value. In this in-depth conversation, he reveals how a Haitian upbringing, a passion for design, and a knack for networking led him to master multiple mediums—wood, resin, and high-end cracked glass portraits. He breaks down “The Loophole” strategy he uses to travel, connect with high-level people, and market his art to exclusive audiences. Learn how he turned artistry into a business, landed celebrity clients, and built a plan for long-term success with real estate and a future luxury bar. This is more than art—it’s a blueprint for creative entrepreneurship.
