Rob started drawing cartoons as soon as he was able
to hold a pencil. At the young age of 5, he began
watching the Saturday morning television show,
"Captain Bob". Captain Bob gave instruction in the
fundamentals of drawing, especially animals. Since
drawing came almost second nature to the young Rob,
this show was all he needed to jump start his talent
development.
During Middle School Rob used to get in trouble a great
deal for drawing while in class. However, once in High
School his talent was recognized by art teacher, Mrs.
Bott who encouraged him to draw as much as possible.
Growing up loving to hike, hunt and fish, it just seemed
natural to combine his loves to produce artwork that
reflected what he loved the most about the great
outdoors.
Rob spends as much time outdoors as possible, hiking,
hunting, fishing and just absorbing all that is wild and
free. He can often be found just studying the scenery,
wildlife, rocks, trees, etc as ideas for future paintings fill
his mind.
Currently Rob creates paintings and drawings by
commission, as well as a bi monthly comic strip called
"Gone Wheelin' " for "Low range" magazine
