Jason Crosby and myself have teamed up on this oversized sketch card of a Mars Attacks Alien and Alien Ian of Garbage Pail Kids! The bottom half (Alien Ian) was painted by me and the top Mars Attacks Alien by Jason. This was done in Acrylics and ink and is on one of my personal 5x7 inch sketch cards.

Robert’s imagination and desire to draw were first fueled by his frequent visits to the corner newsstand in his Brooklyn neighborhood to purchase comic books, especially those that featured the art of Neal Adams, George Perez, and Jim Aparo. Later, the films seen on local TV, everything from the comedies of Abbott & Costello and The Marx Brothers, B Monster movies, and especially the Planet of the Apes series, left a definite imprint in his work. More recently, an interest in Tiki and Pulp Art have been added to the mix. Incorporating an ever-growing cast of Apes, Tikis, and appearances from the likes of Doc Savage, Tarzan, The Shadow, and more. He is creating a unique narrative through his paintings and sculptures.
