Rob Grillo

Creating art saved my life when I was broke and unemployed and contemplating suicide. If there was no art I wouldn’t be here now.

What is your favorite type of art to create?

Abstract is pretty fun, I think I lean towards illustrations now a days though

Where do you find inspiration?

I’ll meditate, listen to music and I’ll develop this emotional connection to a song and I’ll get visuals, like puzzle pieces, put those together and I get an image. Sometimes it’s the emotional connection to the environment around me as well, or what’s happening in the outside world

What would you do with $25,000?

I’d use it to help my wife with her debts and use the rest to spoil ourselves and our children as well. Maybe a family vacation
