Bob has been a professional illustrator since the late '80's, published in books, games, and magazines, as well as on billboards, murals and textiles.
During the 90's and 2000's, he worked as Sharayah Press, selling at Renaissance and Celtic Festivals, Scottish Highland Games, and hundreds of SF/Fantasy/Gaming Conventions.
Between 2010-2013, Bob lived in Changsha, China, studying traditional ink painting, book and product design. Returning to the U.S., Xiangbala Studio was founded in 2014.
He now focuses on character development and conceptual design, employing a variety of subjects, mediums, and techniques to represent that which, previously, had remained unseen.
Bob is currently producing his fourth book.
