BIO: Artist and illustrator Arbito is a Seattle native who works full time from his home studio in Ballard. Primarily using watercolors, acrylic, and cast resin, his work is composed of psychedelic colors, silly slogans, and crazy characters. Reminiscent of vintage posters and illustrations of the 70's and 60's, his art has been categorized by some as pop-psychedelic. Arbito has exhibited his art internationally from Portland to Brighton UK, and has most recently launched a color-packed animated ad campaign with nike snowboarding.
