 Crayon Art

“I think the Old Masters would have considered Crayola Crayons a high-tech palette in a box.”     ~Jeffrey Robert

The art of Jeffrey Robert has transformed a crayon into a paintbrush and reinvented the idea of what can be created with an ordinary Crayola crayon, taking crayons to new heights on the lofty walls of art galleries. People stop, stare and smile when they see his artwork framed with his signature crayon nameplate and it really sets his art apart giving it a distinctive look. Then comes the automatic catchphrase, “I can’t believe he did that with a box of crayons!” 

Recognized as a pioneer of crayon art along with his father Don Marco, Jeffrey Robert has been the feature of numerous Newspaper, Magazine and Television programs including ABC’s Good Morning America with his good friends at Crayola for their 100th Year Celebration.

According to Crayola: “Jeffrey Robert…creates Rembrandt-like pieces using absolutely nothing but Crayola Crayons and inspires adults and children everywhere to recognize and utilize the simplest of mediums, one that we’ve all used at one time or another and most likely have lying around the house, as a tool to explore and develop their creative and artistic side.”  Decor Magazine 2004

Jeffrey combines the nostalgia of our childhood crayon art experiences with his trademark signature series of Crayon Collectibles to serve as an ideal representation of what makes his unique art so appealing to a wide demographic– from fine art collectors to novice buyers. And his latest series of surf and beach images have the power to transport us, if only just a moment, directly to paradise like a breath of fresh air.

Growing up in Hawaii with a royal Hawaiian heritage, Jeffrey was a gifted artist and musician with a passion for surfing. Born at Tripler Hospital and raised in Foster Village on Oahu, he attended Pearl Harbor Elementary School, Aliumanu Intermediate School and Radford High School where he received exceptional grades in art and was named “Surfer of the Year” by his high school yearbook. Jeffrey states, “When Crayola produced their 64 box, I was attending Pearl Harbor Elementary School in Hawaii and wow, so many colors, it was amazing! Little did I know years later Crayola would invite me to be a part of their 50th birthday celebration! 

Along with his role as an artist, Jeffrey has been inspired to educate people of all age and skill levels through his educational crayon art DVDs and workbooks by sharing the power of visualization and application in the simple and effective techniques in the use of crayons.
