It’s a long ‘un but a good ‘un!
In this episode of Three Food Memories, you’ll meet one of the world’s most distinctive artists and illustrators.
You may not know his name, but you’ll most certainly recognise his style.
Robert Risko’s artistic journey started at age 10, when he entered a drawing competition at a local department store. His easter bunny winning him first place, and a shiny new bicycle.
Since that defining moment, he’s gone on to grace the pages of Rolling Stone, The New Yorker, and Vanity Fair, where he caricatured the most famous of celebrities for more than four decades.
Known for his retro style, his iconic cartoons blend humor and sharp observation with paper-cut wit, as does this conversation with Savva where he reflects on his journey, life in 80s New York, and how no steak was safe in his mother’s kitchen. He also has an uncanny premonition about the upcoming US presidential election.
Robert’s social cause is the Hereditary Neuropathy Foundation, and he pays forward a slice of J’s Pizza to our next guest Geraldine Hickey.
This episode was recorded on the 10th of July.
