From Daily Runs to Street Art Treasures: The Keith Schad Story
Keith Schad Photography started with an unlikely spark: my college-era obsession with calisthenics and daily runs that turned into a lifelong habit. After graduating and relocating from Oklahoma to California, my wife and I sought a more energetic companion for our aging dachshund, Levi. Enter Juniper, our husky-Great Pyrenees mix—a bundle of energy who transformed my runs from routine to exhilarating. What began as frustration with her leash-pulling evolved into harnessing her wild spirit, powering me to personal bests and making every outing an adventure.
Running along the beach one day, I stumbled upon a vibrant world of graffiti that shifted like the tides—high-quality art that vanished as quickly as it appeared. Intrigued, I started photographing it during our jogs, capturing fleeting masterpieces after chatting with the artists themselves. It became a mission to preserve this ephemeral creativity that fueled my inspiration.
Now, I've curated these images into original shirt designs, ensuring the art lives on while supporting the local talents who make my runs—and our community—more colorful. If this story resonates, or you're passionate about street art, grab a shirt. It's more than apparel; it's a way to celebrate and sustain real creativity.
