As far as I can tell from digging in the Drawn! archives its been about three years since we’ve presented the work of Los Fokos, aka Alejandro Ivan Fuentes. Los Fokos is a self-taught artist “born, bred and residing in the LA area,” according to his website bio.
Speaking of his website, Fuentes, who creates t-shirt designs by day, relaunched this venue for his personal work last month. Its brimming with mind-blowing artwork that makes me wonder if Los Fokos mixed peyote in his tattoo ink and scrawled a Moebius-inspired fever dream on his quivering psyche. This stuff is a heavy trip – but what a sweet ride!
For his own part, the artist claims his influences include a “life long interest for the metaphysical, the surreal, nostalgic memories”… and most importantly, he says, “my kids have been a heavy influence in my art.”
