GERARDO RODRÍGUEZ

     Gerardo Rodríguez was born and raised near San Juan, Puerto Rico, and came to the States for college where he studied film and graphic design. Prior to monster art he worked in photography and video editing, helping his team earn two Emmy awards for a TV show and a documentary. Shortly after arriving in Austin, Gerardo began drawing monsters and painting more seriously, committing to his art full time… and the #MonstersinAustin movement began! Known for bold colors, clean lines, and trippy landscapes, Gerardo’s art ranges from big, friendly faces and weird and intriguing shapes to his signature cowboy character and themes from classic Westerns and the American southwest. He can usually be found painting with acrylic paint and oil-based markers on canvas but has also monsterized walls, photos, thrift store art, and beer cans. He finds inspiration in nature, his graphic design background, childhood drawings, the storytelling of film, and his late dog Titus. Though he doesn’t always plan to paint with deep meaning behind the brushstrokes, much of his work can tell deep human stories. In his own words, “The best part of being an artist is witnessing how much joy or emotion my creations can bring to all different kinds of people. Maybe the characters in my paintings are all of us on our own journeys and misadventures, and I've just replaced us with monsters.
