My guest today is Angelo Lopez, whose remarkable work has been featured in publications like Philippines Today, a Filipino American newspaper, and the Tri-City Voice, a Bay Area outlet. Currently, he is also creating pieces for display at Cartoon Movement. Angelo has received the Sigma Delta Chi Awards for Editorial Cartoons in both 2013 and 2015. Additionally, in 2016, he was honored with the RFK Book and Journalism Award for his editorial cartoons. His artistic style is profoundly inspired by the renowned muralists of the 1930s, particularly Thomas Hart Benton and Diego Rivera.
