About me

Rob King is a digital fine artist and illustrator based in Madison, Wisconsin. He specializes in dynamic digital portraits drawn in a style of loose contemporary realism: relaying as much information as possible in fewer brushstrokes while rendering the subject recognizable. 

From 2001 to 2012, Rob served as a resident graphic artist for several military units, designing t-shirts, commemorative coins, billboards, and posters. His recent work includes commissioned digital portraits, caricatures, logos, and tattoos, and successful print-on-demand apparel.

In August 2020, he established Rob King Illustration, LLC, dedicated to providing dynamic artwork to the general public in the form of affordable gallery-quality canvas prints.

In November of 2020, Rob had a piece titled, “Summer’s Flame” awarded Diplōma Honorificus from MADS International Art Gallery, Milan.

February 2021, Rob Was invited back to MADS to present a series in the gallery’s “Love My Body” exhibition. He produced five pieces for this exhibition.

Also in 2021, Rob divested from portraits and cartoon illustration to the world of caricature. He fell in love and has been doing it ever since with his ongoing series, “Don’t be Meme to me!” This series explores the concept of a meme being a self replicating chunk of information and how by making a caricature of the memes, not only is that meme being duplicated, but it’s also evolving.
