Robert S. Wallace grew up in Indiana where he developed an interest in art from a young age. He took many art classes in high school focusing on pottery, painting, drawing and photography. After an accident left him bedridden, he explored new artistic avenues. He later went to school for graphic design and started his own design company. The document consists of Wallace sharing 33 photographs he has taken over the years, many of which he has edited using Photoshop to experiment with textures, colors and effects. The photos depict abandoned buildings, machinery, landscapes, portraits and more.

1. Robert S. Wallace
I was born in Fort Wayne Indiana and grew up in Deca-
tur. I grew up with an artistic eye and could put it down
on paper. I went to a summer school as a child for art
and learned some things that were new and exciting to
me. I learned to express myself in my art by putting
feeling behind it.
In high school, I took almost every art class they of-
fered. I did pottery, painting, drawing, mixed medium
art, AutoCAD, and photography. They literally had to
throw me out of the photography’s dark room daily. I
further expanded my talents in many different fields of
art.
After high school I was in an accident that left me
bedridden for four months. It gave me the chance to
explore further avenues of art that I had never done
before. I soon went into photography full time for a
number of years before deciding to return to school for
graphic design. I got married in 2006 and began my
schooling again in 2007. Since then I have grown leaps
and bounds in my training and in my work. I ventured
into working with a small design firm and in 2008. In
2011 I broke off and became a freelance designer and
started a little company of my own called StrangeCraft
Design. I plan on continuing in a state of learning be-
cause a man that learns and has a purpose, is a man that
continues to grow.
