Prior to moving into entertainment software, Rob delved into a variety of art forms. In the sixties he reveled in the counter-culture movement, drawing outrageous underground comics to support himself. Later he spent several years perfecting the art of wildlife engravings in fossil ivories. Eventually, he purchased a Commodore Amiga, created his first digital graphics, and never looked back.
