About Instructor

Rob Kelsey

Rob is a Chicago-based art maker, whose practice spans many media, not just illustration. But whether he’s working on a sculpture, mask, painting, or game, it all begins with pen on paper. After graduating from DePaul in 2015 with a degree in Animation for Games, he began expanding his horizons into book arts, printmaking, and more. Whatever media he’s working in, his work is unified by a sense of the macabre, an emphasis on interaction, and the belief that the physical presence of a piece is vital to its essence.
