BIO:
Marty Two Bulls Sr. is a member of the Oglala Lakota from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. He spent his childhood in Rapid City, S.D. It was at the Rapid City Central High School’s student newspaper the Pine Needle, that Two Bulls first started drawing editorial cartoons.
Marty studied commercial art at the Colorado Institute of Art. Two Bulls worked television, commercial printing, and newspapers. He would become the graphics editor at the Rapid City Journal and later The Sioux Falls Argus Leader. Leaving newspapers he returned to college to finish his BFA degree at the Institute of American Indian Art in Santa Fe, N.M.
His work focuses on issues of political interest to Native American peoples who have been historically persecuted and marginalized by the dominant culture, which has reduced them to a minority in their own lands.
Two Bulls embraced a growing readership of non-Natives cultivated through social media, in the hope that one Lakota man’s point of view will bring a better understanding and support for issues that affect Native American Indians.
Marty currently works as a freelance artist, graphic designer and political cartoonist.
