Luciano Martinez was born in the small town of Andrews, Texas and later raised on a ranch in the outskirts of Carrizo Springs. His childhood included cattle ranching and goat herding. Even though much of his time was consumed in public school and ranching he often made time for his artwork and his love of pop culture. At age 17, shortly after completing high school, Luciano ventured to Chicago to pursue an art career. It wasn’t until 2001 that he was able to attend formal art school in California.

In the year 2005, Luciano was awarded a BFA in graphic design from the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California. Although he graduated with a graphic design degree, Luciano has never lost his passion for illustration and has consistently designed for clients with this in mind. His work is best known for his surreal illustrations and contemporary design aesthetics. Luciano now works as a graphic designer/illustrator in his one-man studio in Pasadena. After many years of designing for clients, Luciano has begun to produce his own illustrations, which he plans to expand into product and printed materials for merchandising.
