On this episode of The Creative Dad Pod we welcome published photographer, artist, and archivist, Art Meza. The lowrider enthusiast lends his craft to the lowrider culture, as well as the gente that comes with it. His experience seems young but the accomplishments are up there with vets. We’re talking the City of LA archive, celebrity commissions, multiple art exhibits around the country, movies and book publications. Chicano Soul thrusted himself into the fire of art and business with his collaboration on the 10 year old cultura classic, Lowriting. His art is helping define a culture that is “as American as apple pie.” With outside efforts to keep our books, photos, art and culture suppressed to extinction, Chicano Soul prospers as an activist creating for the sake of a genuine history. And on top of all of that, he’s a daddy and co-parent. Father to 3, and grandfather to 1, please welcome to the pod, the man with a chicano soul, Art Meza.

The Creative Dad Pod

It’s the potty-mouth safe space for balancing daddy duties & creative careers. Let’s get into with artists, creatives and business pros that have similar hardships and victories in fatherhood. It's The Creative Dad Pod. Hosted by 5 time Emmy winning videographer/documentarian, and 1 time daddy, Adrian Huerta (@drianhuerta).

We're taking The Creative Dad Podcast down the street to Boyle Heights in Los Angeles. CA to visit hat maker, world traveler, mezcal ambassador, culture curator and social media influencer, Gilbert Marquez (@gilbertmezcal). Through this current Mexican-American renaissance of art. Culture, and marketing, Gilbert expresses that fine line of chicano tradition and the cultural progression through his very successful family owned Pachuco Supply (@pachucosupply) hats and brand. At Pachuco Supply headquarters we sit and talk to Gilbert about the sacrifices involved in juggling multiple careers, identifying the source of frustrations to limit projection, the differences in being raised chicano vs raising chicano, and more. Sure, the business might have over 136,000 Instagram followers and 16K+ on his personal account but I think the most important thing is he’s finds a way to still be an active husband to Cinthya and active father Frida.
