Today we’d like to introduce you to Fernando Bolaños.
So, before we jump into specific questions, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
I picked up being an artist watching my older brother draw. I enjoyed it a lot and just kept going from there. I didn’t have many art classes during my middle and high school years, but I was always drawing in class either on desks or work papers. After high school, I didn’t know what to do, I was limited to many things because of my migrant status and not having much support relatives.
That’s when I realized art would become more than I thought it ever would. Ended becoming a tattoo artist watching Miami Ink, still not sure why I took that decision. I don’t just focus on tattooing, I enjoy doing murals, crafts, and whatever has me creating. To summarize, art is my lifeline, it’s kept me alive supported me when others didn’t.
Has it been a smooth road?
I didn’t grow up poor nor privileged. The thing I struggled was having a stable home. As a kid mom wasn’t around, aunt raised me became my mother figure. When I moved to USA, everything was ok, but I started feeling out of place, unaccepted, my family wasn’t the family I thought I had. I knew I had to cut ties, I was moving around a lot, one or two times I might have slept in stairways. But besides everything I’m glad it happened, I made a few friends that became family. That’s all that matters now
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Infvmous – tell our readers more, for example, what you’re most proud of and what sets you apart from others.
Infvmous is just a logo/name I came up with. Being know as a bad person in my family, I decided to take the word infamous, and make something good from it. I want to make Infvmous a brand name for art, and fashion. Looking for everyone to enjoy. Still working on it though.
Let’s touch on your thoughts about our city – what do you like the most and least?
Dallas that I grew up here, I love the sites. The arts district. There’s a variety of places to visit. But the thing I love is the skyline view at night. I really really hate the traffic……
