What is your secret identity?

Uuum... Robert Scholten - but don't tell anyone! And you can still call me Rob for short!

Where are your paintings and fine art?

I moved them to another website - www.robertscholten.com. People found it confusing with the illustration and fine art mixed together (as the styles can be quite different) so made another website for them.

Yes, I do. I'm currently in the process of expanding the website to include a shop, so for now, drop me an email and we can sort things out.
