Description
In this episode, I'm speaking with Puerto Rican brand designer, lettering artist, and illustrator Carlos Oliveras Colom. Carlos is a queer artist that was born on the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico and brings to life letters and illustrations that are fuller than life. His expressive style is meant to be seen, but also felt. His work is rooted in equality, and the desire to represent for the underdogs while also exploring his passion for colors and shapes across different mediums.Keep on listening to hear us talk about why he chose to leave the island, if art school is worth it after all, and how his personal projects fueled his freelance career!EPISODE LINKS- Watch on YouTube- Join the FREE Discord- Join the Patreon- Host: Follow Fabiola on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok- Guest: Follow DonCarrrlos on Instagram

03: Gay Chicanx Collage Artist, Ruby Marquez | @Broobs: Welcome to this week’s episode of Draws in Spanish where I chat with queer Chicanx collage artist, Ruby Marquez aka @Broobs on Instagram. Ruby and I get existential about what it “means to be Latinx,” the risks associated with making Selena fan art, using art as a coping strategy, and how Ruby processes the pressure to be perfect on social media. Ruby also divulges how they go about collecting source material for their collection, moving into music production, and why connecting with your culture is so much more than tracing your bloodline. Join me on this week’s episode to learn more about Ruby’s complex story as a queer Mexican-American artist. by Draws in Spanish | Conversations with Latinx Visual Artists and Designers
