Bound in Ink is hitting the road!!!!!

It's been a rather hectic and busy time for Bound In Ink. The year has been filled with gallery shows and a lot of support for the work and I thank you all for that. This past June I was showcased at Aphrodite Gallery. The event was also accompanied by an interview with Passional Magazine.

Well it looks like 2007 is going to be wrapped up with one last gallery showing in Albany New York. The Bears of Albany have invited me to participate in a benefit. Details on when and where are here. Lastly the 2007 gallery has been updated with two new pieces so I hope you enjoy them. So here's to the upcoming holidays and new artwork and shows coming around the corner. Cheers!

What people are saying about Rob and his work.

For my second published collection of poems, After Party, I needed some art to go along with one of my pieces. I’ve known Rob for over a decade now and is keenly aware of his talents in drawing and rendering. I also know that he has a sick sense of humor.

Given all of that, he came through with a perfect interpretation of my poem called “Culpepper, Virginia.” When I first saw it, I rolled on the floor laughing uncontrollably. Not only was it humorous, but dead on with the scenario at hand. Rob is a huge talent! Check out his portfolio and see for yourself!

"Sharp, sexy, and visceral. JrBear’s drawings allow us to peer into the artist's secret desires and invites us to examine our own."
-TŸLER

"I have been in senior administrative management for over 25 years in professional production company marketing, special events and promotions. I have worked nationally and I would like to note the professionalism and talent of Rob Harmon.

When you travel nationally you meet and have the opportunity to work with hundreds of individuals across the United States. There are only a handful that stick out in my mind. When you consider the fast pace of this profession, you rely on your designer to read your mind (so to speak). You demand perfection and and you depend on their ability to translate your concept into a workable and cohesive piece of art that will capture the potential audience you are looking to entice. Rob is not only a master at his craft in the design field, he is such an incredible animator and artist. It has been a tremendous pleasure working with Rob and I would jump at the opportunity to work with this young man again. In addition I would strongly recommend Rob Harmon to anyone without hesitation. He is also truly genuine and and puts his heart into everything he touches."
