what is this?
this is a page where you can learn some fun facts about rob durkee. i was born, raised, and still reside in the midwest. chicago has my heart, and always will. i've been doodling since i was little, from the dining room table with my dad all the way through to the computer i'm currently typing this from. i haven't always known i wanted to work in a creative field, and it took a stint in music school and a few less than perfect teaching placements to show me the path i truly desired to tread. however, you'll still find me rocking out behind a drum kit; that part's here to stay.
my love of art and design can one thousand percent be attributed to comics and animation. few things excite me more than a great character design, color palette, panel composition, or well-placed word balloon. i strive to communicate that level of clarity in everything i do, from concept sketches to logos to ad copy, always trying to elicit an exciting response. graphic design was a road into taking my art journey more seriously, and now i find i can straddle the line between each medium and blend them into an approach that is uniquely mine.
that brings us here, where you're reading this and maybe wondering if i am the right person for your project, team, fantasy league, etc. probably not a great pick for that last one, but i hope you'll take a look around and reach out if you feel like we could make some magic happen together!
