RobRez 1,895 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Some of you may know that I am a Tattoo artist, but I have been a Cartoonist for much longer. I still do a weekly editoril-ish cartoon in a local paper. In the last year I have been doing acrylic paintings in my cartoon style. They have proven to be quite popular and fun with most folks, so I thought I would share. These pics aren't that good, and don't do justice to the vibrancy of the colors, but you get the idea. I have sold several of them, and have more hanging in the tattoo shop, and of course I am creating more of them, even as we speak. I am continuing a series of Western paintings in the theme of "The Cactus Kid" as well as hunting and fishing paintings. 13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Star Arms 2,047 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Fantastic work, Rob!!! Your style is unique, and tremendously appealing. You've done some comic strips, and story panels (I can tell). How about sharing some of them with us! Mike 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I sure will! I'll need to get a few uploaded, as all of my work is "Analog" and I don't use digital media, I usually use a brush or "quill-style" pen and ink, plus I still hand deliver my drawings! 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dayofruin 425 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hell yeah! Definitely show us some more. Very cool looking pieces. My girlfriend does some 3D abstract stuff using alternative media with acrylics. You should start up a Facebook page for your art and post it up here. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Thats cool Rob. I like art as well, and do like to sketch, but my items stem from a more darker side of things. Death, skulls, and things of that nature. I like the colors you chose man. Very nice. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Star Arms 2,047 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Alright, Rob. Now that you've "fessed up", how bout a regular 'Cactus Kid' strip here on the forum.... "Cactus Kid" goes to DC, Chicago, NYC, North Korea... lots of great material there. Can't wait to see it in ink! Mike 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spacehog 2,218 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 That is awesome Rob! Very nice work. I think my favorite is the hunter and the deer. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Alright, Rob. Now that you've "fessed up", how bout a regular 'Cactus Kid' strip here on the forum.... "Cactus Kid" goes to DC, Chicago, NYC... lots of great material there. Can't wait to see it in ink! Mike I think I could work with that.... The "Cactus Kid" has been a running "Strip" of paintings over a period of years. I wanted to do more with my comic strips and Gag-cartoons, so I have done several paintings of a continuing, wordless, story. It has been mostly for me as my "Artsy" idea of, Each panel is owned by different art collectors, who do not know each other, nor do they know of previously sold paintings, so nobody but me will ever really see or know the whole continuing story, or "Strip"......unless they all manage to get together after I die and put them all together, in order. Painting the solid colors and clean strait lines is actually not so easy with acrylics, and I try to spend a lot of time on my layouts, which, yes, come from having done storyboard work in my early days as an artist! Good call! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sunnybean 939 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Awesome Rob! The top one and bottom one made me chuckle. You selling these? BTW, you have snail mail inbound. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am selling them. The bottom one is still available, and much brighter than the pic shows. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Star Arms 2,047 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Oh... You're not gettin off that easy, brother! Ya got a gift, and a by-god character!!! We want a strip. Later, recognition - syndication, and megabucks. The libs have their voice. You - like it or not - are cool. Step up, Rob. Be the voice in a way only a true artist can.

NM0 586 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 (edited) Cool work. Looks fun. Keep making. Not bad prices for originals either. Not the gallery price huh? Edited December 13, 2012 by NM0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Cool work. Looks fun. Keep making. Not bad prices for originals either. Not the gallery price huh? Yeah, most galleries want 40%, so, I sell them @ the tattoo shop and keep 100%. This is still a low price though, for the amount of time I put into each one....but it gets them out there into folks homes! Thanks for all of the encouragement folks!! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheDarkHorse 216 Posted December 22, 2012 Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 The toons are great! Being a collector of dermal art, I'd like to see some of your work. I'm almost all black & gray except some of my oldest ones. I'm just a few more designs away from full sleeves. Couple on the chest and one on the back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobRez 1,895 Posted December 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2012 (edited) I like it Rob. Too bad I can't afford another! Will trade for ammo DarkHorse: If you are on facebook, you can look me up there. I will approve friend requests, as I use facebook to promote my artwork. I have a ton of tattoo photos there, or look up American Made tattoo in Missoula Montana. I have mostly black/grey work, myself.
