Bob X is a freelance artist and illustrator living and working in Memphis, Tennessee. His art is prolific, spreading itself across many mediums - from paintings to logo designs, from silk screens to comics - while exhibited in many forms, it is always identifiable as the work of Bob X.
In the 1980's Bob X was a key player in the "ugly art" movement (a style consisting mainly of black and white pen and/or brush work line drawings that were often rough, but at the same time extremely complex and intricate). As the creator of XEX GRAPHIX, he helped lead the movement through his wild graphics and entangled designs.
More recently, the work of Bob X was included in the 2010 publication, "NEWAVE: the Underground Mini Comix of the 1980s," available through Fantagraphics Books . And he was also recently recruited by Fulmer Helmets (a Memphis-based company) to design graphics for a new line of motorcycle helmets .
