THE INFLUENTIAL WALLS
ELITE MENTORSHIP PROGRAM
WE'RE ABOUT TO RESHAPE YOUR FUTURE
If you're here, it's because you're likely feeling lost, alone, or inadequate to some degree in regards to your journey in the arts. This is something every artist has gone through to a certain extent. The intention behind our Influential Walls Elite Mentorship Program is to eliminate those feelings and eliminate the starving artist mentality.
​
This Program is the industry's leading mentorship program for muralists. It is designed to turn an artist into a brand strategist, designer, marketing expert, and powerful negotiator.
​
Mentees receive one-on-one coaching with various collective members in Influential Walls, including our Founder, Derrik Diza, UX/UI Expert and Muralist, Morgan Zion, Hyperrealism Muralist and Graphic Designer, Steve Martinez, and Upscale Illustration Muralist and Graphic Designer, Otto Martinez.
​
Welcome young grasshopper. Let's get it!

THE HARD DATA
We offer different Mentorship Packages dependent on where you are at in your career. You may have only a couple murals under your belt, want to quit your job, and go full-time in the art world. On the contrary, you may have sold $100,000 worth of murals last year all through word-of-mouth and want consistent leads that have larger budgets. Some of you may want to focus on studio work and just paint a few murals a year that are with large commercial companies.
​
Mentorship is custom fit to each artist we work with.

"Influential Walls is in great service to the world and to artists. Organizations like Influential Walls are advocates for artists and teaching. How else would we learn these things and connect art to business?
My DM's are going crazy after 1.5 months.. Sticking to the plan has doubled my leads!
​
Most I've learned in a class I've paid for. Game changer. Thank you and God bless ya!"

"Finding the Influential Walls Mentorship Program is the best thing that could have happened to me post graduation. Coming straight out of college with no intent of using my degree and deciding to pursue my passion of being an artist felt like a risky decision.
​
The guidance and assistance that Derrik and Influential Walls has offered since our very first meeting has paid dividends. The biggest takeaway from the Mentorship Program that I have noticed as a mentee is how my brand is portrayed to the public.
​
I have gone from the girl who does art on the side to a self-sustaining full-time artist in less than 3 months!"

"The Influential Walls Mentorship Program is by far the best investment I have made in my professional career.
I quit my job in January of 2024 and joined the mentorship program shortly after. By the end of the summer I had generated over 15 new leads and am on track to double my previous full time salary!
The 1 on 1 program gave me the tools to significantly scale my business’s marketing, showed me how to target decision makers, refined my pitching and sales process, gave me the confidence to raise my prices and set project minimums, and helped me learn sales tactics to land 5 figure deals.
5 out of 5 stars :D"

"I'm about halfway through the program myself, and it's been really good for me. I had a full time salary job come from it and I've had a huge increase in my commercial leads. Like 300 - 400% more commercial leads than before.
Derrik is really down to earth and a great teacher, he really personalizes the program to exactly what you need for your business. It's been so nice for me to essentially have a roadmap tailored to my business because I was spending so much time before mentorship trying a little bit of everything and spreading myself too thin. Now I get to focus on the most valuable activities instead of just guessing what might work or what might sell.
