Mr. Oliver is a Marfa-based musician and political cartoonist who has lampooned political corruption and environmental folly. He has been particularly outspoken against proposals to dispose of radioactive waste in west Texas, and was part of the successful effort to stop the low-level radioactive waste disposal facility planned for Sierra Blanca. A selection of his cartoons can be seen here, including some of his regarding endangered species, radioactive waste risks, and general ecological themes.
