Fian Arroyo illustration

Fian Arroyo has been creating award-winning illustrations and character designs for clients including Fortune 500 companies in the advertising, editing, toy and gaming, and publishing markets for 25 years, thanks to his creative thinking and fast drawing skills. At first, before he realized what kind of person he wanted to become as he grew up, he had been doing some things, but now it has developed into a full-time detour and cannot find a 'real job'.

His past commercial illustration works have been recognized by award books such as the New York Illustrator Association and the Los Angeles Illustrator Association. Recently, his fantasy works have been included in the award-winning books "Spectrum the Best in Contemporary Fantastic Art" and "Infected By Art". Fian has also been accepted and participated in famous art exhibitions/conferences such as San Diego Comic Con, New York Comic Con, Dragon Expo, C2E2, and Gen Con.

Fian originally came from San Juan, Puerto Rico. As a child of the United States Army, he traveled around the world and lived in Japan, Panama, and a few states. He graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor of Business Arts degree and then moved to Miami, Florida to begin his freelance illustration career. In 2014, after moving from Miami Beach to Asheville, North Carolina, Fean began creating and performing for his fantasy art, while also creating commercial illustrations. His fantasy works are currently on display in galleries in some parts of the southeastern region. He currently resides in the Asheville area of North Carolina (specifically in Wavell), where he was taken hostage by his wife, two children, a large Pyrenees mountain, and a mortgage loan.
