The Art of ROBERT BLANCAS

ROBERT BLANCAS

Robert started drawing at a very young age, but had no idea he wanted to become an Artist. It wasn't until his mother gave him a Marvel Avengers comic book as a child that it sparked an immediate interest. The cover of that book just blew his mind and he immediately knew he wanted to become a Comic Book Artist. Robert began copying and tracing the pictures, studying other comics, and finding any book he could on drawing. Robert eventually studied Art at Fresno State University where he developed the skills and techniques that have shaped his career.

Robert has done countless Art commissions and Graphic Design work for a variety of clients. He has been a Featured Artist on local television newscasts and has been published as a Comic Book Artist, inking a few independent books. Robert is the Illustrator of two award-winning and best selling Children's books: Brave Lolis Learns English and Brave Lolis's Box of Hope where he was honored with the International Latino Award for his interior art. Most recently, Robert was commissioned to work on Marvel Renditions Spider-Man trading cards from the Upper Deck Company., realizing his dream of doing official Marvel Art.
