How I Went From Professional Football Player to Fulltime Artist

- Perfecting his craft since 1997, Joos ‘DOES’ van Barneveld is a multidisciplinary international artist recognised for his well balanced colour schemes, clean style and eye for detail.
Taking root in graffiti art, traditional letterform is DOES’s primary love. He maintains that different hand styles betray elements of their owners’ emotional landscapes, putting personality traits subconsciously on display. Using the letters D, O, E and S as a foundation, he continues to elevate these etchings to new heights. Through an explosion of colour and shape, letters assume narrative.
Joos van Barneveld was born in 1982 in Veghel, The Netherlands. Though he has been active in graffiti since 1997, football was his first love. At the age of 9 he was chosen to train with the youth selection of one of the country’s professional football clubs. His disciplined nature, focus and dedication eventually won him a spot on a team in the highest division. Throughout his football career he lead a double life; balancing the public persona of a professional athlete with the secret life of an underground graffiti writer. When an injury ended his athletic pursuits at the age of 28, DOES took it as an opportunity to focus solely on his art. He quickly carved out a reputation as one of the best practitioners of the craft, and today his work is featured in exhibitions and collections across the globe.
Although his style is pure, DOES doesn’t like to limit himself to one discipline. Over the years, DOES’s work has diversified into illustrative drawings, prints, murals and canvasses. No matter the medium, his work breathes exuberance - bright, dynamic and full of energy.

Thanks for sharing this experience, when I listen to your last sentences I feel that the thing I miss to become a fulfilled artist it's that "enormous hunger" you talking about...

Can someone pls tell me the kind of shoes he is wearing
The shoes he is wearing in this documentary are called the Nike sellwood AC. They can't really be found anymore in stores so you might be better off buying some Air Force 1 mid's, they look kind of similar. :)
Best, team Does
que cosa más linda por la mierda gracias por compartir esto con nosotros
What his football team?
He played for Fortuna Sittard! A professional club in the south of the Netherlands.
Best, team Does

please Does, as an European, don't call it Soccer :D
i'm not a corporate sympathizer or anything but....wandering around train yards and defacing private property is not "full time" anything, it's just vandalism.
