We were lucky to catch up with Vallejo Lee recently and have shared our conversation below.
Vallejo, appreciate you joining us today. We’d love to start by getting your thoughts on what you are seeing as some the biggest trends emerging in your industry.
The biggest trends I see in visual arts are probably Animation and NFT’s. I actually think animation is the coolest aspect of graphic design. Adding motion to creation really brings a lot of life into art…literally. As for NFTs, I think its an interesting way of merging art into the future ways of the world. I do think a lot of the value come from the creator and not the art itself. Another trend I often see is online clothing and more ‘hands-on’ clothing brands which I think are dope too! To me it shows the legacy Dapper Dan left on art of fashion. Sharing your own sense of creativity in a fashion sense is impecable. Clothing is forever a value in the world, why not get creative with the way we share our art?
Vallejo, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Peace, my name is Vallejo. Im a mid-twenties visual artist native to Little Rock, Arkansas. My proclaimed super powers of creativity have assisted a plethora of start-ups, non-profits, and entrepreneurs gain the exposure as business owners. My first love for visual art is photography. Over the last 12 years I have grown a radiant perspective for frame-freezing. Graphic Design is believed to be my strongest suit in visual art. I specialize in creating logos, cover designs and illustration for start-ups, non-profits and inspiring entrepreneurs. Other forms of visual arts I have developed in are sculpture, painting and murals.
I provide services for individual, family and group portraits, weddings and events, and commercial photography. I also, have graphic design services from logos to web design. For other creative projects, feel free to contact for art project consultation.
I believe my ability to think outside of the box sets me apart. My drive and passion towards the objective goal is another thing I have been expressed to, from past and recurring clients. I have been crowned for assisting the “unsure” and “hard to explain” bring their ideal vision to life. I can say that my work ethic and reputation has also set me apart from others. Be sure to check out my reviews!
I am most proud of my independence and consistency in growth from recognition and awards. The main thing I’d potential like for my audience to know is that CREATIVITY COSTS. Artists put much more than ideas on a canvas for “x” amount of dollars. The value comes with recognition, experience, knowledge, creativity and labor. It takes a level of expertise to manifest visions into reality.
What’s been the most effective strategy for growing your clientele?
Communication, Punctuality, and Good Product.
What’s the most rewarding aspect of being a creative in your experience?
There is no limit to how to be creative. I am free to take my own inspirations, interest and understanding to attract an audience of similar interest.
