Art
Besides keeping up with my illustration assignments, I’m constantly exploring my own creative ideas. Here’s a selection of my paintings, drawings and 3D objects.
Conceptual illustration, with graphic simplicity and a stroke of wit. Unlimited scope: from serious business to serious fun, encompassing everything from children’s projects to corporate commissions. My techniques range from traditional drawing to totally digital, and nearly everything in between. Whenever time allows I create my own Ron Art: drawings, paintings and 3D objects.

I was happy to be invited, together with some 200 artists from 19 countries, to submit art on a A6 envelope for 'Mail Me Art' exhibition and book.
Mail Me Art is a fun little project that was created by Darren Di Lieto of The Little Chimp Society in late 2006. He was looking for a way to connect on a real world level with all of the brilliant and talented illustrators who had become part of his community and network. Mail Art was the perfect way to accomplish this task. The Mail Me Art project has held exhibitions up and down the UK, and was published as very nice book by HOW Books.
All submitted artworks will be exhibited at The Framers Gallery / London from 30th July – 3rd August 2013.
