Cuban-American artist, illustrator and Altpick member, Edel Rodriguez was honored to announce that he has been selected by Ad Age as one of the “50 Most Creative People of the Year of 2016”. Accompanying him on the list are other renowned artists, musicians and actors such as Tom Ford, David Bowie, Samantha Bee, Kerry James Marshall and Beyoncé. The verdict was based on one of Edel’s most talked about illustrations this year: the Time Magazine cover for an August story titled “Inside Donald Trump’s Meltdown”, which had Trump’s screaming face melting like a candle - a reflection of what back then seemed like a continuously imploding campaign.
When announcing their list, Ad Age also provided interviews/articles about their creative picks, including Mr. Rodriguez. Though part of the interview is seen below, a complete version can be found in the link at the bottom of the page.
