Rob Schwager
Artist info:
After being introduced to punk rock during the early 80’s, Schwager designed album covers, t-shirts and flyers for various punk bands he was friends with in Chicago. This eventually led to abundant work as a silkscreen concert poster artist, supplying hand crafted promotional posters to bands and venues across the country. In the early 90’s, he fulfilled a childhood dream and became an artist working on mainstream comic books. He’s spent the last 20 years of his life working on such classic icons as Spiderman, Superman, Batman, and the X-Men. His work has helped shape comic book pop-culture as we know it today and he’s credited as being a well respected rising force in the art of digital painting and color design for the comic book industry. Rob was also a custom cabinet maker for 6 years. During that time he helped with fabricating the interiors for some of the most well know hotels and restaurants in the U.S. Rob Schwager has most recently been featured in the best selling books, The Art of Modern Rock, and ”Kustom Graphics: Hot Rods, Burlesque and Rock ’n’ Roll”, from Korero Books. For the past 5 years, he’s also been exhibiting his fine art in numerous galleries and group shows all across the globe.
