Biography

Two Bulls comes from an artistic family [2] of Oglala Lakota from the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. [3] He grew up in Rapid City, South Dakota, where he did editorial cartoons for Central High School's school newspaper. [1] He attended The Art Institute of Colorado, then took jobs at KOTA-TV, the Rapid City Journal , and the Argus Leader . He completed an art degree at the Institute of American Indian Arts once his children matured. Since then, he splits his time between New Mexico and South Dakota. [4] His editorial cartoons focus on issues of interest to Native Americans. They often take an ironic point of view, point out solutions that he finds obvious, or highlight perceived hypocrisy. [1]

In 2012, he won the Sigma Delta Chi Award from the Society of Professional Journalists, [1] and he was a finalist for the 2017 Herblock Prize. [5] In 2021, he was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning, but the award was not given that year, which was protested by the Association of American Editorial Cartoonists, [4] Cartoonists Rights Network International, National Cartoonists Society, and publisher Andrews McMeel Syndication.
