I'm originally from Bradenton, Florida and now live in Lake City. I am currently a Teacher at an Elementary School (Computer Technology), Coaching baseball at CHS, and a Professional Illustrator at WWW.ROBCHAPMANART.COM . I create fishing related designs and tee-shirts, custom portraits, pet illustrations, and I work with celebrities & athletes including Danny Wuerffel, Bobby Bowden, Jon Gruden,Andy Griffith (Matlock), Ryan Newman, Stephen Davis, Tony Boseli, and more. Most recently the success of the Fish Playing Poker series has taken my career to a new level!
I was born in Sarasota, Florida and grew up in Bradenton, Florida. I basically lived and breathed sports my whole life playing primarily baseball and basketball. I had a succesful career as a 6'5" left-handed Pitcher, but fate had a different plan during College. I had 3 major surgeries in 18 months, including recronstructive elbow surgery (Tommy John Surgery). I fell into art, finished College, and met my wife. The rest is history...
I live in Lake City, Florida - The last place in Florida we could find a real-estate bargain! I have an art studio in house along with a frame shop. I fish as often as I can both inshore and offshore all over Florida and the Bahamas. I also spend alot of time on the road doing shows all over Florida promoting and selling my artwork.
Upcoming projects include a new design with New England Patriots WR (Gator WR Record Holder) Chad Jackson, Fish Playing Pool, and a brand new line of clothes entirely for women (Reel Catch). These will debut soon, along with some modeling shoots to promote both Fish Poker and the new series!
Below are samples of my different artwork. I illustrate 99% of my designs, and will paint typically only when doing wall murals. Almost all of my color designs are created with Berol Prismacolors, and my black and whites are created with pencils, pen and ink, and charcoal. Click on any of the images to visit my website and the artwork similar to these designs.

Custom Fishing Designs - This is one of my favorite parts of my job. I am able to tie in fishing related designs and combine it with my ability as a Graphic Designer. I work with Tournaments, Teams, Marine Companies, Charters, and whoever else needs a custom marine design! All inquiries welcome.
