Hunter Roth, LSU Design Shop Manager, received his BFA from LSU in 2000 with a concentration in Sculpture. Roth uses his familiar images of skulls and skeletons as a visual canvas for retelling past and present histories. His politically charged cartoons and vibrant colors mock death while giving life at the same time. Mexican traditions of the Day of the Dead, the subculture, and American history or “histroy” at he calls it, heavily influence his art. Roth is multi talented artist, a painter and drawer, sculptor, printmaker, and furniture maker. He also collaborates with artist Charles Barbier, Clark Derbes and others. Roth was a featured artist at the Houston ArtCar Museum in 2006 and a member of Baton Rouge Gallery. He was awarded People Choice award in the 2008 Baton Rouge Art Car Parade and 3^rd place in the LSU School of Art 6^th annual Summer Invitational show.
