Rob Summerlin is an award-winning storyteller who moves between illustration, music, film, and performance. He is Queer, French, and American living on the unceded ancestral land of the Ramaytush Ohlone.
Summerlin has an affection for dusty eccentric fringe characters whose inner lives bubble with contradiction. His tools are restraint, humor, quiet tension, and a naive hand.
