Hey fam, excited to share this coloring sheet I illustrated for @raceforward (formerly Colorlines). Shout out to Erin Zipper for bringing me in to do this. And shout out to @artofnickyrodriguez who also illustrated a coloring sheet. Quickly, Facing Race is an annual conference where organizers, educators, artists, and regular folks like you get together to talk about racial justice. For some people that inspires eyes rolling, but for the eclectic mix of folks who go it is a lifetime of work. Learn more about it by following Race Forward and attending the conference virtually.

And download the coloring sheet to have fun drawing! #facingrace2020 #facingraceconference #raceforward #racialjustice #coloringsheet #illustration #lettering #artofrobertliutrujillo

Fam, this is a book about Puerto Rican hxstory edi

Fam, this is a book about Puerto Rican hxstory edited by a Boricua scholar and activist named Marilisa Jiménez Garcia. It's published by "Teaching for Change" a DC non profit who focus on teaching the shit US hxstory books typically have ignored or left out. Growing up around a small but vocal community of Puerto Ricans here in the Bay Area and living in NYC I have always wanted to learn more about the struggle for a free Boriken (Puerto Rico) and some of its great figures. So for Women's Hxstory month, Inktober, etc I have drawn some Puerto Rican’s. Please share this educational opportunity to read, teach, and learn from this very detailed compilation of art, poetry, people, events, places, etc.

Shout to @marilisajg23 & Teaching for Change for including some of my work. In the book they talk about Salsa, Bomba y Plena, Vejigantes, the island of Vieques, Hurricane Maria, US Colonialism, Afro Latin identity, the Puerto Rican diaspora, and so much more. #puertorico #boriken #puertoricolibre #ethnicstudies #MarilisaJimenezGarcia #teachingforchange #artofrobertliutrujillo

Just got this really fresh picture of an Ad illust

Just got this really fresh picture of an Ad illustration I did for OBM-Orange Barrel Media, which was curated by The Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus Ohio. This ad is on N. High St. south of the Wex and Ohio State University on a pretty busy street. This was a quick turn around project and its always fun to do these quick pieces in the midst of much bigger things and such a tense political climate.

This ad's artwork although quick, has some very personal elements in it and I feel like i'm speaking to myself as much as I am speaking to the young college students walking past it. I'm for a complete upheaval of this current system. And when they asked me to make it non partisan I agreed because most days I feel like fuck the 2 party system. But thinking strategically with my moves and those of organizers around me has never felt so urgent. I love talking to folks who say fuck voting because that was me, w/very valid reasons. Gimme a holler if you wanna have a convo. #workingartist #votersuppression #wexnercenterforthearts #orangebarrelmedia #artofrobertliutrujillo #advertising #illustration #bestrategic
