Frank Who?

Frank Rigg is a multidisciplinary artist whose creative journey began with winning the Mingo Public Schools Art Awardback in 1988—and he’s been chasing that high ever since. Born and raised in Oklahoma, Frank’s work blends traditional techniques with modern digital tools to create art that’s rich in narrative, detail, and personality.

Initially self-taught, Frank began airbrushing in the early 2000s, transforming what started as curiosity into a passion. Inspired by the precision and fluidity of airbrush art, he honed his skills through magazines, YouTube tutorials, and pure stubbornness. His early work—ranging from portraits to custom pieces—earned him spots in five national art compilation books published by Out of Step Books, including Antennae of Inspiration and Black & White: Volume One.

In recent years, Frank’s focus has shifted to digital illustration and comic art, where he works primarily in Clip Studio Paint and Photoshop. He creates vibrant, character-driven pieces full of humor, heart, and grit. His work leans into storytelling—whether it’s a one-off illustration or a multi-page comic. The digital medium has allowed him to merge his technical knowledge with expressive creativity, and he’s constantly exploring how technology can elevate his visual voice.

Frank’s art has been exhibited at regional conventions and was featured in the Valparaiso Community Supported Art Initiative and the Porter County Museum. He is currently pursuing a BA in Art Studies at Arizona State University.

When he’s not drawing, you can find him painting miniatures, 3D printing props, or sketching his next big idea—likely on the back of a napkin.
