Rob Tanico of Long Branch is best
known for his musical talents in
national bands like Mr. Reality and
Highway 9, but, like many musicians, he’s become a visual artist
along the way.
“I admire all artists,” said Tanico.
”I’m in awe of renaissance art, it’s
so fundamentally proficient and
yet conveys such passion. On the
opposite side of the spectrum, I’m
fascinated by primitive cave paintings and Egyptian art, beautifully
rudimentary.
“I believe that creativity is just a
strong sensitivity to stimuli, colors,
sound, joy & sorrow, I think any truly creative person be visual artist,
its just a question of finding your
voice. That took me 40 years.
“I’ve been doing little sketches
and doodles since I was a kid, but
not until I started exploring the
digital mediums did I really start to
feel a real creative surge. That was
about 2 years ago.”
