Pen and Ink Sketch Art by Bob Langston

For the most part, Bob paints acrylic on canvas or on a surfboard or skateboard. But he also loves to draw sketches.

Here are several examples of pen and ink sketches Bob has done in recent years, including two that are giclee prints we sell on Etsy, at ArtByLangston!

The two above are prints from our Etsy store. "Wyld Collage 1" and "Wyld Collage 2". These drawings were many doodles that Bob created while speaking on the phone and then put together in one work of art. 


More pen and ink sketches from Bob's collection:

"Another Bizarre Sketch" from the Bob archives

"Faces - melted twisted pilots"

"Space Monkey"

"23 Skidoo"

                             

                                                                                

                                                                                     "Aye... Tis a Ghost"

Sketches from the unique mind that is Bob's.  

"Drawing stuff like this keeps me sane.. I cant imagine how nuts I'd be if I kept it bottled up inside. It's like I have to release natural LSD from my brain.." ~Bob Langston

Our Print of the Day from ArtByLangston, 11/21/13: "Genesis 1" by Bob Langston

Sitting here, with my coffee in hand, getting ready to share our next Print of the Day with you, from ArtByLangston. 

The title of the print is "Genesis 1", an abstract giclee print of an original painting that was done with acrylic on canvas. 

Bob loves painting abstracts that are full of vibrant colors. This abstract was inspired by the idea of fire and water, spinning and forming, as in the beginning of Earth's creation, which has always fascinated him. This print, like all of our giclee prints, is signed by the artist.

I leave you with a quote from one of Bob's inspirations and favorite artists, Pablo Picasso:

" The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls."

Print of the Day, From ArtByLangston on Etsy - 11/19/13

Took a short hiatus and we are now back with another Print of the Day from our Etsy store, ArtByLangston. 

The Print of the Day for today is "Zig Zag" by Bob Langston. 

"Zig Zag" is a giclee print which is a representational work of art that was inspired by another freeform sketch that Bob did while on the phone. 

He believes that this motivational painting has hidden meaning, is symbolic of the difficulty, twisting and turning nature of our fast running journey through life. It motivates people to want to get up and do something powerful in their life.

The stairway being ongoing without showing the top portrays the unkown realm at the end of it all. 

The original abstract painting is acrylic on canvas. This print is signed by artist, Bob Langston.

Our Print of the Day

Today, ArtByLangston has chosen to feature the following print as Print of the Day: "Liquid Jade".

This high quality giclee print is of an original abstract painting that Bob did in the early 2000s. One of his first paintings that he did in more recent years. 

Bob loves painting abstracts that are full of vibrant, colorful animated energy. He was inspired by a vision of colorful, molten lava emerging from a hidden doorway. 

The original abstract painting is acrylic on canvas.
