About the Artist!
Joe Solis is an artist, toy designer, and creative storyteller whose work explores themes of childhood, nostalgia, emotional comfort, and dreamlike surrealism through character-driven experiences and objects. Blending fine art, toy design, and brand identity, Joe creates immersive worlds that evoke reminiscence, comfort, curiosity, and magic while exploring the emotional relationships people form with objects and characters. He is inspired by the intersection of art, toys, and culture.
Since learning to sew at a young age, Joe has been passionate about fabrication and hands-on creation, especially plush toys with armatures and interactive elements, vinyl figures, artist toys, sculpting, illustration, and character design. His recent work has expanded into narrative-driven brand identity and product development, combining visual branding, packaging, storytelling, and audience interaction into cohesive creative experiences.
Joe has exhibited work at galleries including The Window and has collaborated with freelance clients across design and product-focused projects, as well as interpersonal projects with clients.
