Get set for the last Arts and Crafts Membership meeting and Demo for 2024. Bring yourself to the Cribari Conference room on Monday, November 4 where our meeting starts at 1:45 p.m. sharp. Our featured artist will probably captivate you for the better part of an hour with his cartoon work.
Angelo Lopez’s art was deeply inspired by his love of comics and his love of children’s book illustrations. As a child, Angelo loved watching the Marx Brothers, Abbott and Costello, William Powell and Myrna Loy, Charlie Chaplin and all the old comedians and comic actors and actresses of the Golden Age of Hollywood. He likes to laugh, whether something is funny or not, and he channels this into his art.
Angelo graduated from San Jose State University with a B.S. in Illustration. Since he graduated, he has created murals and utility box art in the South San Francisco Bay Area. He has exhibited his work in Gallery Saratoga, the Sunnyvale Art Gallery and Chopsticks Alley Art Gallery. His paintings are also seen in coffee shops, libraries, and assorted odd places.
From April 9, 2008 to April 2011, Angelo Lopez was the regular cartoonist for the Tri-City Voice, a local newspaper of the Milpitas, Fremont, and Union City areas in California. From December 2011 to March 2023, Angelo Lopez was the regular cartoonist for the Philippine News Today, a Filipino American community newspaper based in the San Francisco Bay Area.
