Bio
Born in Hollywood and raised in Baldwin Park, Paul Solis gains his inspiration from mid-’90s graffiti, baseball, and, as a native Californian, In-N-Out burger. After receiving his BFA in printmaking from California College of the Arts, Solis moved to Brooklyn, where he now focuses on drawing, painting, and illustration.
