Michel Cruz is an up and coming studio artist who was born in Mexico City and raised in Los Angeles. He has been drawing and sketching since the age of 4, inspired by an overactive imagination fueled by his early fascination with comic books and cartoons. Michel’s passion for art grew as he became enthralled with the outbreak of street graffiti murals and the hieroglyphic letter styles of Chicano street tags. Michel’s more recent work was his Truly Yours…Revamped gallery show which showcased a series of mural sized 3-D installation pieces on canvas. Michel paints under the name Res818, a childhood tag that uses the last three letters of his last name. He currently resides in Dallas, Texas.
