MAJOR NEWS! This is my very first podcast episode where I feature an artist I admire.

Meet Robert Liu-Trujillo. He’s a life long Bay Area resident, the child of student activists who watched lots of science fiction and took him to many demonstrations.

Always drawing, Rob grew up to be an artist falling in love with graffiti, fine art, illustration, murals, and children's books. Rob is the author of Furqan's First Flat Top and he's illustrated numerous other children's books. He's a husband and father of two and a contributor to The Trust Your Struggle Collective, Tone Magazine, and The Social Justice Children’s Bk Holiday Fair.

We sat down to talk about his background as an artist AND an educator. He dropped gems about his teaching philosophy, artistic craft and why Oakland and the Bay Area are such important locations for artist-activism. Tap in, follow Rob’s work and share his visual art and books far and wide.

Did you enjoy this episode? I need your support! My vision is to expand this podcast to invite guests, create more art and provide helpful content to the masses. Consider subscribing, sharing, commenting and donating. Everything helps. And remember, our love for one another is more powerful than all the systems conspiring against us.
