AHOY!
I'm freelance art dork, Robert Wiles. Thanks for stopping by Wiles Side, which is the home base of my art and design. I have several years of formal design and fine art schooling, which opened my eyes to what was out there, but much of what I know and use daily I've learned through constant independent study and experimentation. I find inspiration from a wide range of sources: architecture, history, music, books, movies, and such, but I'm especially inspired by many off-beat design elements from the Atomic Age: tiki bars, pinups, burlesque & vintage smut, film noir, classic cars, old signs, weird roadside attractions and things of that nature. This makes my work appealing to many vintage enthusiasts and retrophiles, as well as those of the rock-n-roll persuasion. Read Less
