Son of the Soil | George McCalman

 On this episode of Culture & Flavor, Zella talks with George McCalman, artist, author, and creative director based in San Francisco and Grenada. McCalman’s background in the editorial world has been a foundation of his storytelling, and his decision to cultivate his fine art practice alongside brand and strategy work reframed his perspective and synthesized the importance of design in his professional practice. His first book ‘Illustrated Black History: Honoring the Iconic and Unseen’ was published in Sept 2022 to accolades by The New Yorker’s Hilton Als, NPR, The New York Times, and The San Francisco Chronicle. His book won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Literary Work by a Debut Author in Feb 2023. Socials:@George.McCalman@McCalmanCoSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
