CV
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.

“Feels like every time we come ’round here’s somethin’ real good happens.” — Yea Boss — I reckon we should come around here more often, say? “Now you’re gettin’ it, kid.”
Kid nearly squeals. Imagines marrying his boss, at a fancy hotel. Boss in crisp white tux. Kid in long red dress bedazzled with rhinestones. They adopt 3 kids. Have a large dog named Lasagna. Vacation in Biarritz. Start a textile company beloved by everyone in the industry and is incredibly lucrative.
