Red Jordan Arobateau. Born in Chicago in 1943, Red is a writer/painter who lives & works in San Francisco. Red is a person of mixed race heritage, including African-American, Hispanic & Native American Indian. His work reflects a diversity of people.

He is a self-taught artist and writer. He is an outsider artist. He is archived in the Bancroft Library an acquisition library at UC Berkeley. His Catalogue 2008 contains a list and description of his life’s work—80 titles of fiction. Novels, dramas; poetry, short story collections, and now his on-going Journal. Red’s recent art book, A SMALL RETROSPECT OF MY ART PAINTINGS can be picked up at bookstores such as Babylon Falling in San Francisco. About his ‘RETROSPECT’ Red says: “I would like this book to become a ‘coffee table’ book for artists—especially beginners or those recalcitrant, to draw inspiration from.” And, about returning to fine arts oil painting after 40 years; “Very soon now I shall say; at last, embarked on the life of an artist! Hands on! To get dirty in the muck & mire of color, smells, substance; physical form!”

“I don’t know where to place myself on the spectrum of art. Everyone wants to know where they belong. Is it possible to ‘place’ oneself on its ever-changing stream?” “I love my work, thus I continue. Fiery sunburst corona of raw creation! There is nothing to replace it! First colors blazing off the pallet! Magnificent reds, eye-shattering yellows, oranges! Vibrant green/blues! Raw! Fresh, the dawn of infant art—done by hands touched by the Master.”

He has said; in his fine Journal PASSAGE: “A writers art is a tool of Justice.” And of painting? “Art is the best friend you have.”

“Hope these Journals will be an inspiration, and a table book for struggling artists/ writers/ dancers/actors everywhere—as it regards the labor of the love of their respective crafts!”
