moved back to Berwick where he had spent his early years before moving to Lock Haven and graduating from high school there.
And thus, the art business he named Dyelute was born.
Dyelute, which is a play on the words dye (a type of paint) and dilute (to thin out), is not your typical art. Franklin’s focus is on concept art and fantasy art. What is that exactly? Concept art shows visually an idea that can be used in films, video games, animation, comic books or other media before it’s developed into the final product. And fantasy art brings to life supernatural themes, ideas, creatures or settings. “It’s not the conventional art that people go to see,” Franklin told me when I visited his Berwick studio recently. “People want to see art they can hang on the wall. I’m creating original work out of my own imagination. “I whole-heartedly enjoy making ideas into fleshed out creations and seeing the immaterial become reality.”
Jordan works on his next creation using a digital sketch tablet.
