Friday Feature: Robert W. Walker

Last year while browsing through an arts and crafts show along the shores of Lake Anna in Barberton I came across an artist booth for Robert W. Walker. At first glance the dramatic colors and images draw you in and you just stare in amazement and wonder. After several minutes of staring I came across a wall of accessories - wallets, bracelets and other trinkets. The first thing I look at in an accessory (or anything) is quality and than usually the design and I was so well impressed with the quality of the wallets that I had to then make the daunting task of which image I liked the best - took a few walks around the show to finally figure out which would be proudly mine. I have to say to this day I am still impressed with how the wallet looks and withstood what I put it through and how well the image has kept it's quality.

While I didn't get to meet Robert at the show we have since exchanged via his facebook page messages and he is a very intriguing individual. At the time of this blog he is in California, but is from the Northern Ohio area originally where he grew up. In the last few months he ventured off on an amazing adventure towards California in his Winnebago and has been exposing the west coast to his amazing artwork.
