🌟 BOBBY GAYTAN 🌟 

You have seen his art throughout Idaho. 

🖼 From downtown Boise, to Nampa to Hailey, Bobby shares his talent with the world through his incredible murals, paintings, and other works of art. 

Bobby, a Nampa native , is a son of migrant workers who traveled between Texas, Michigan, and Idaho for work. 

Starting at 15-years old, Bobby channel his inspiration of the graffiti he saw along his travels through his art. He primarily taught  himself.  When Bobby created a shirt of Selena Quintanilla  prior to her death, he had no clue that shirt would launch his artistic career. When  Selena was tragically killed,  the Latino community was seeking ways to remember the talented singer. 

An owner of a popup store in Mountain Home remembered that Bobby created the Selena shirt , and that’s when his career as an artist took off. 

Bobby continued his education at BSU and earned a degree in Graphic Design. 
He does custom art at his studio blakbook22 

I first heard Bobby speak at the idaho_hys . Little did I know he was the same artist behind one of my favorite murals in downtown Boise.  Of course I quietly freaked out and sat there in awe.  I tend to see Bobby around town with his family, and he’s smiling — always. 

Thank you Bobby for inspiring us through your work 🌟
