About Me

Robert Iza is an Artist/Illustrator who lives near Seattle, likes breakfast cereal, Kaiju, Designer Vinyl Toys and playing Katamari Damacy. He has a Whimsical/Funky sensibility, bringing together mid-century influence as well as aspects of Low Brow and Pop-Surrealism, creating a fun charm in his work. He's interned at Cartoon Network, done freelance illustration work creating the Mascot for LA's Power Anime, illustrating a guest comic page for Images' The Cryptics, and Various design work for Draw Machine. He harbors a great sense of color that is often appealing, and a lightness to his humorous eye catching style.
