  • Back in Black… And White and kind of a tan because newsprint

    Just wrapped up some large, very involved commissioned oil paintings. I’m glad to have had the opportunity to do those pieces. I’m also glad to be changing gears a little. It seems like it’s been forever. This is today’s quickie charcoal sketch. Mostly a tonal study but the final piece will continue to be relatively…

  • Biiiiig Waterfall

    Greetings, faithful readers (all 6 of you)! Been quite a while since I posted anything at all. The upside is that means I’ve been busy. Very busy. Busy is good. Keeps me active. Keeps me moving. And this piece has certainly kept me moving. Creating this work was a physical experience. Every aspect pushed the…

  • New Work in Progress

    No spiffy titles today, kids. Just a quick update from your old pal, Rob, on a new Chicago piece. It’s big. It’s bold. It’s big! Ultimately my goal here is to play with the relationships between the cool and warm colors this image provides. I’m also adjusting figures and elements to rearrange their relationships to…

  • Exploring The Ancient Stone Circles Of The UK

    On my latest photography adventure, I’ve wandered the United Kingdom in search of stone circles. I’m left in awe, pondering the origins of mankind. Curabitur lacinia porta purus. Mauris laoreet dignissim imperdiet. Proin tempor pellentesque neque tempor feugiat. Vivamus odio tortor, pulvinar vitae placerat sed, ultricies nec augue. In fermentum nunc sit amet mauris tincidunt…

  • Still Life

    Greetings all, I just wanted to post a few of the production stills and a couple other images from the political comedy series, “Embeds” that premiered recently on go90. Thanks to a friend I got a call from their production crew looking for some local art for set dressin. Even though the work only shows…

  • I’ve never been much for politics, but…

    When you’re asked by the production team for a new polit-com from Megyn Kelly, “Can we use some of your work for our show?”, you say, “Why not?”. So there you have it in a nutshell: My Artwork. New comedy. Political incorrectness (we can only hope). Here’s the trailer. I hope it’s good. http://ew.com/tv/2017/01/06/megyn-kelly-produced-political-comedy-embeds-trailer/ Cheers, …

  • Thank You, Masked Man

    I had the opportunity to help someone today. I feel some shame in writing about this not because I’m ashamed of doing what I did, but because I believe making such acts a public event cheapens the act itself. I believe receiving undue praise for being a regular, decent person can lead to expectations of…

  • Panoramapalooza

    I’ve been loving me some horizontal formats lately… and graphite or charcoal on toned paper. Maybe it’s because I was such a huge movie fan as a kid and I wish the world was filmed in Ultra Panavision. Maybe it’s because I have this huge roll of gray-toned paper I’ve been sitting on for a couple…
