Francis Vallejo
Artist | Professional | Varied
United States
I was raised on the Eastside of Detroit, Michigan. (b. 1985)
After attending Ringling College of Art + Design and The Illustration Academy I moved to Austin, Texas to set up my studio. Working on a diverse range of personal and commercial projects, my focus is on producing well crafted, contemporary pictures.
I am also the studio lead for The Art Department. Although I am not a musician, I hope you can hear music in my work.
