Artist of the Day, March 7, 2023: Robert Rodriguez, an American illustrator, graphic designer (#1796)

 Robert Rodriguez has been a nationally recognized illustrator for most of his career in art.  If you have ever had oatmeal for breakfast during the last 15 years, Robert’s painting of the Old Quaker has probably been watching over you the whole time.  Do you like corn chips?  Well, Robert was the artist for the Santitas Corn Chip senorita on their package.  Cookies?  It is Robert's painting of the kindly granny on Grandma's Cookies that encourages you to pick up a bag at the checkout counter.  Movie posters, a Superbowl poster, Ringling Bros. circus posters, Broadway theater posters, liqueur labels, and about 18 US postage stamps, including the Cowboys of the Silver Screen series.

He embarked on a career as an illustrator, picking up awards and medals along the way. He was a Grammy Awards finalist for best album cover art and received a Graphis Platinum award for his “Cowboys of the Silver Screen” postage stamps. Rodriguez has created Broadway theatre posters for plays like “Anything Goes,” “Nice Work If You Can Get It”, “Sister Act” and “Lend Me A Tenor,” a Super Bowl poster, a half dozen Ringling Bros. Circus posters, several movie posters, and art for the past four Tales of the Cocktail event, which is held in New Orleans in summer. In 2011, Rodriguez had his most recent one-person show at the Sycamore Gallery in Monrovia. The next year, he was one of the featured artists in the Contemporary Masters: Artistic Eden III exhibition in Pasadena, California. In 2013, Rodriguez had a painting and several prints on exhibit at La Galeria Gitana in San Fernando for a show called “A Nod to Nouveau and Deco Design.”
