Robert has worked in the comic book industry, in several different aspects, for many years. Thirty years ago Robert and his brother Mike started Blue Line Art, the company that prints borders on comic art boards used by many professional artists and publishers in the comic industry.

Not happy with only supplying artists with paper Blue Line created bluelinepro.com, an online art store focused on offering art supplies specifically for the comic book artist.

He next created Sketch Magazine, a periodical that offers professional tutorials on every aspect of comic book creation and has been acting publisher from its inception.

Even before Blue Line, Robert had his hand in creating comics. His projects ranged from time-traveling agents to superheroes and, most recently, following the adventures of a child with learning differences. Robert has over 12 properties currently in development for books, comics, online webcomics and merchandise.

None of these accomplishments are quite as close to Robert’s heart as his  project Clay’s Way. Clay’s Way not only took years of preparation by Robert but over 12 years of resource research by his wife Katie. Clay’s Way is a comic strip based loosely on Robert, his wife and their two sons and how they deal with their son’s day to day life with Dyslexia and ADHD. Clay’s Way had over 140 comic strips posted online.  He currently is working on publishing the first Clay’s Way graphic novel.

Outside of publishing Robert and his partners has opened a successful video game store (more here www.nostalgicvideogames.com).

Robert has also move from the sequential task of creating comic books to honing the skills of a book author. With his good friend Bill Nichols they have published their first shot story titled Camelot Forever: Snowflake and have two more novels coming soon in the Camelot Forever Series.
