Mexican born artist Ricardo González, better know by his artists name ‘It’s A Living’ has been traveling and painting around the globe for a very long time. From a small town in central northern Mexico he headed to Canada to study graphic design, followed by a post graduate degree in Typeface Design in New York City. With a solid foundation established, he naturally took a job as a graphic designer but quickly began to pull away from his desk job lifestyle in exchange for a more global existence and increasingly spent his time traveling and painting murals around the US and Europe. González developed a unique hybrid style combining his typographical background with tools and aesthetics of graffiti and tagging. At a time when the mural art scene was exploding and mural festivals popped up all over the world, It’s a Living was in high demand and could be found on lineups everywhere. As his stature in the mural scene grew so to did his desire for the fine art world and he began producing prints, canvases and even sculptures which hang in gallery walls and collectors homes across the world. González now lives in Mexico City and balances his time between studio work, murals, client work, skateboarding, and running various other sneaky businesses around town.
