Davie Torres was born and raised in West Michigan. Growing up, he moved frequently which gave him the opportunity to see different areas of this great state. From small farm towns to the Big Little City of Grand Rapids, Davie has seen different peoples ideas of art and that has helped make him a well rounded person and artist. The piece "Got Soul" came from his idea to "add some flavor" to the competition. Also to give people something that they would wear and truly appreciate. Not just wear because their friend designed it. Graffiti IS an art form but sadly is seen as a crime and vandalism. Through Shirt Prize, the only crime in his piece is not rockin' his shirt!
