Rob of The Rockys' Adventure Art

Okay, so I gave my self the title, but it seemed only fitting. I was born in the mountain town of Grande Cache, and grew up in Calgary where I had ample opportunity to visit Banff and Kananaskis in The Rocky Mountains and fall in love with all the mountain sports. Combining my love for the outdoors with my art and illustration just makes sense.

"Cliff Hanger"Mural

Spending much of his off time in the mountains, but still liking to have fun, Rob likes to set up fun photo's of friends playing in nature. This Mural art is based off of one of those fun moments. Of coarse finding Rob and his friends hanging on the side of cliffs isn't that unusual ether, though probably with more confidence.

Illustration of Pika Cave

Not too far off the track, but far enough not to be know by most, Pika cave looks out over Prairie Mountain in Kananaskis. The fun scramble to get to it makes it one of Rob's favourite adventures.

Surfboard and matching helmet with illustration of exploding volcano and storming clouds.

Custom paint job for surfboard and matching helmet

Every surfboard deserves a good paint job and a rad name to go with it, this one’s been dubbed "The Thunder-Wave-Lava-Shreader". It’s a battle between the heavens and earth; a thunderstorm rains down bolts of lighting as a volcano launches up molten lava. Any surfer would be stoked to add this board to their collection, but sorry this custom board is spoken for.
