This month’s FAM also celebrated his birthday this month. He’s a high school friend and a very talented artist. He’s none other than Greg Raposon.

Featured Artist of the Month: Greg Raposon

We were classmates in high school and became really good friends with fellow artists and enthusiasts. My go-to medium would be pen and paper, his are laptop and graphic tablet. Only guessing about the latter.

He has been doing digital work for as long as I could remember. I am always amazed at what he can do even if you just give him a photo. From vector art to digital paintings, you’ll be forever amazed just like I am.

So without further ado, here’s Greg Raposon as this month’s featured artist.

Oh and btw, belated happy birthday! ✨
