February 2016 – Rob Medley

Greetings and ‘Happy 2016’; although it’s almost March. I apologize for not keeping up the website as diligently as I have social media (facebook.com/robscanvas). However, I have spent the morning updating, re-categorizing pages, adding art, and other web-mastery things. I believe I have all of the kinks out, but don’t quote me on that. There are many new additions in the catacombs of this virtual gallery, so take a look around – but don’t get lost.
