Rob Wilson is an award-winning American illustrator and designer, capable of his thick, thin lines of capturing the attention of the beholder.
There has never been anything but art in his life, ever since he was a child while his other peers tried their hand at a thousand different sports, he drew constantly, non-stop.
All his dedication, passion and love have taken him where he is today, and he boasts numerous collaborations with the biggest American multinationals and newspapers.
Rob Wilson was born in Ralls, Texas, to creative parents who encouraged his natural drawing skills. “I used to draw windmills when I was 7,” he says. “It’s a little weird doing the same thing now.”

Although his images are still drawn by hand, his main means of communication is digital. His style is the flat, bold, raw representation of everyday scenes, he rarely uses two or three colors, but most of his sketches are black and white.
Many of his works come from personal experiences, from his dog, from drinking a cup of coffee, from having a dead plant, he has no precise influences, he simply gets inspired by what he has around him.

Now because of the current period we are living, he has started to draw a series of illustrations called “Corona days“, where day by day he tries to entertain his many fans.
Many illustrations of daily life trying to tell the life from home, between toasts on facetime and smart working he manages to tell the quarantine with great irony, trying to lighten these heavy days.
