Ford Truck by Bob Rouse, 12x19-Inch Canvas Wall Art

This ready to hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features an old blue truck in the center of the frame. After graduation from the University of Miami with a degree in design and marketing, I taught graphic design at the Fort Lauderdale Art Institute. My career then moved me into the music industry where I eventually became General Manager for a small record label in Virginia. Utilizing my experience in marketing and advertising, I spent the rest of my career supervising design projects for national companies including: ATandT, TV Guide, R.J. Reynolds, Coca-Cola and BellSouth. Following early retirement and a desire to get back to my creative roots, I became a freelance digital illustrator. A number of companies have licensed my artwork for puzzles, posters, toys, calendars and bathroom accessories. Giclee (jee-clay) is an advanced printmaking process for creating high quality fine art reproductions. The attainable excellence that Giclee printmaking affords makes the reproduction virtually indistinguishable from the original piece. The result is wide acceptance of Giclee by galleries, museums, and private collectors. Gallery wrap is a method of stretching an artist's canvas so that the canvas wraps around the sides and is secured a hidden, wooden frame. This method of stretching and preparing a canvas allows for a frameless presentation of the finished painting.
