Take Care Tuesday with Rick Robinson

OOH Media Executive & Artist
Tuesday, May 4, 2021

Originally from the small agricultural town of Lodi, CA, his Central Valley work ethic pushed him through junior college (where he worked swing shift in a steel mill) on to SF State University where he studied fine art and advertising. Primitive iconography coupled with a love of billboards and pop materials have driven Rick’s aesthetic sensibilities ever since.

In his own words
I have always been taken by shapes, icons and the power of color in public spaces. This instinct led me to a career in the OOH Media business and also that of a sculptor. This past election cycle it all came together – inspired by the abundance of fist stencils in Hollywood after the demonstrations last summer – and manifested into a national poster campaign in support of a non-profit driven to register voters.

Topics covered this episode:

• Inspiration behind his Pink Fist series
• Voter rights and Vote As If
• Navigating the audience
• Roots of creative inspiration
