Description
Rob DiTeodoro is an artist who manages to find a way to balance his time between his art, his family, and his full-time job. He bears his soul with his vibrant and psychedelic style, and his work ethic sets him apart from someone who is merely trying to make a hobby out of their art. Rob is soon turning his art into his full-time profession.

Rob's Final Push will remind you to not have any expectations for your creativity and to just play around! Quotes: “I could draw, but I still never felt like I was an artist.
