"I've been drawing for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a very artistic and creative family, and credit them with my decision to pursue art as a career. When I was in college getting my BFA in illustration I was trained in photo-realism; however, after noticing that everyone's work looked very similar I decided to veer off and find a style of my own. Growing up skateboarding, I was always influenced by "low-brow" and "street" artists who really inspired me to do something different." Graham Franciose
