Jacob Lee Welch is an artist, but not your average artist, hats and shoes are his canvas and manga and cartoons are his passion. After his life hit a rough patch, Jake was diagnosed with clinical depression. Realizing something had to change he turned to his lifelong passion as his therapist.
In a rut, a simple photo of some painted shoes shared to him by a friend, revitalized Jake and that day he gave himself purpose. Within hours, he set about to start playing with the medium as a canvas. Before long he found people wanted to buy his creations. From there spawned an enterprise which keeps him focused and at peace with himself.
Jacob works when everyone else sleeps. Like many artists it is this deep work and constant failures to arrive at his desired vision that keeps him driven in his day to day. This is an inspirational story of a former school teacher who has rediscovered the best parts of who he is, through exploring, creating and painting.
