Eric J. Garcia describes his artwork as “historically based, politically charged criticism, with the goal of creating dialogue about contemporary issues.” A versatile artist working in an assortment of media, Garcia began creating political cartoons while serving in the U.S. Air Force to poke fun at friends and officers. He soon ventured into broader issues. His work can be viewed at El Machete.
