This is the seventh of ten artist profiles we’re presenting as we lead up to our Vinyl Artist Poll<\/strong><\/a>
\nin which we’ll ask you to vote for the artist you’d most like to see
\nwork in vinyl. The poll is strictly for fun and to get a read on what
\nyou like art wise. Click on each of the paintings to read a description of the piece by the artist.<\/p>\n

Robert \u2018Farmer Bob\u2019 Hardgrave<\/span> <\/strong>

\u201cA self-developed artist,
\nRobert Hardgrave creates work both highly intricate and abundant with
\npersonal symbols. Inspired by experiences from disease and recovery,
\nhis paintings and drawings reflect ideas of reincarnation and the richness
\nof life beyond death.\u201d<\/span> <\/p>\n

[Most \u2018art vinyl\u2019 is character-driven
\n\u2013 some are cute and some are horrific, but almost all feature characters
\nof some kind. We have included
\n\u2018Farmer Bob\u2019 Hardgrave in this poll, not only because we appreciate his work, but because it seems that a greater acceptance of abstraction could lead to captivating new toy designs not dependent on the strength of the character design. 
\nSome beautiful existing vinyl is virtually abstract [think of RealXHead\u2019s
\nChaos and Organ Bat figures, or Yamanaya\u2019s Brume sculpt].  We
\nthink Farmer Bob\u2019s work might lend itself to more, and in any event,
\nwe wanted to offer at least one abstract option for the poll.]<\/span><\/p>\n
