Memories, Musings and Mayhem of a Creative Career
Welcome to RobertArtWriter.com
At a slower pace than I would like, I have been documenting my career in art and writing here. Currently, I’m well into my time at Filmation Studios in the 1980s. It will take a while to complete that phase since I am determined to keep a chronological order to my pages. I did make one exception with my BraveStarr page, but that is a morsel of material. Someday I will expand it with more stuff. Eventually I will catch up to where I am now—but don’t hold your breath.
There is a lot to tell.
Since it has taken me a full year to get back to this website, I have added an update notice to mark when something new has been added. This will also encourage me to add to this site more often.

A series of Young Adult epic fantasy novels by Shawn Lamb, my wonderfully creative wife! Books 1-4 are available through bookstores and online retailers in both paperbacks and eBooks. Book 5 Gauntlet will be published Spring 2012.
Shawn’s newest book, a Christian historical fiction, was just published November 2011.
I have been interviewed by Chris Vint at the Masters of the Universe Chronicles for his December 2009 bonus podcast. Chris is in Northern Ireland and sounds much like Billy Boyd (Pippin in LOTR) to my ears. He is a gracious host and we chatted for about an half hour. My interview comes in at about 11 minutes, after a segment on MOTU collectible toys.
This caricature of me was created by Pedro Figue for the cover of cereal: geek #3, a magazine devoted to animation of the 1980s (shameless plug – I am a contributor to the magazine). You can find me stuck between two turtles in the second row. This magazine is a labor of love published by James Eatock in London, UK. There are no ads, just 100 pages of Eighties animation goodness.
Check it out for yourself: cereal:geek

What’s New?
Besides overhauling my home page and widening the entire site, I have two new pages for your perusal.
He-Man and the Masters of the Universe – Season Two reflects on the changing of the guard in the Storyboard Department from Season One as well as the prospect of year-round employment.
Rob recommends:
For those who can’t turn away from a train wreck, I offer my apologies for the first show I storyboarded for the 2nd season: Fisto’s Forest. However, I am thankful that the experience prompted me to submit a story idea titled “Into the Abyss.” If I hadn’t been so frustrated with Fisto, I might not have tried my hand at screenwriting.
