VIVA CHICANO!

This is the graphical work of Luis Fitch

I really like this kind of work .I ran into this at some other blog and decided to make a bit of a research more of it and post it. The guy it’s what we locally call "Chicano" who is someone who lives in the united states but he was born in Mexico and he is raised with al the Mexican culture or could be someone that was born in the united states but everything is as if he was born in Mexico.

Luis finch spender the most of his childhood in cities like Guadalajara (where i was born too), Tijuana and the ugly but beautiful Mexico City. The guy says he started drawing as soon as he could hold a crayon at the age of 4. Obviously as you can notice drawing is a big part of what he does during high school in Mexico he started using some other things. After that From 1982 to 1986 while been at Tijuana, he discovered quill pens, inks and Nescafe (don’t know why is that relevant), as well as the fun of heliographic copies cause of that the large format canvases began. In 1987 he settled in Los Angeles and experimented with printing press inks, oils, pigments, pencils, scaling and scratching. He went to the art center college of Design in Pasadena and stills somewhere in the united states.

Luis is a proud member of the Advisory Council Group for Diversity for The American Institute of Graphic Arts in Minnesota. His prevalent work is profiled in international design and marketing publications around the world.

His work has been awarded by the prestigious Peter Glen Special Award for Public Service, highly recognized by the Retail Advertising & Marketing Association and was featured in Graphic Design USA 500th Issue Special People to Watch in 2006.

He is doing business at UNO HISPANIC BRANDING

You can see the Mexican-American culture printed in this specific works. all the Mexican icons and festivities printed for events in the united states the way they are done in Mexico. You can say that’s for the Mexican - american communities other ways some of those events wouldn’t exist at that side of the border.
