My Bio
Rob Tokarz is a Los Angeles-based artist originally from Chicago. He holds an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts where he studied Theatrical Design and Scenic Art. Now he divides his time between painting and working in film design, using each to support the other.
Painting is inherently an act of synthesis. Painting portraiture allows him to relate a personality through the artist's eyes and translate that onto canvas. His fascination with the human form is an opportunity to converse, to learn stories, and attempt to tell them. The colors, patterns, lines, and abstractions are his language, one that he is constantly moving to advance and hone. The canvas is mere painting - the art is the people that inspire them.

Artistic Plight - A Series
0 min read
I spent the majority of the last four months of 2004 worried about what to create, knowing that for whatever reason, there was a lapse in creativity and that I needed to do something abou tit. All well and dandy and good and such, but now, I'm flood. I have so many thoughts running through my head that I can't get them down fast enough, so much not fast enough that I must put the pencil aside for fear of overwhelming myself.
The plight, however, comes in the production. Being that all i have is my tiny room and the sporadicly available art studio and money, I am lacking in the actual "churning out" of work. TO me, it's most important to be c

To print or not to print

I'm thinking of releasing some pieces as prints, any thoughts? Does anyone actually make a little side cash with prints? Or am I just being pretentious...Any input is helpful.
