	Frazetta Tribute I remember seeing my first Frank Frazetta painting as a kid. The action, the drama, the romance, the danger, the adventure. Each work somehow seemed to contain it all. Who could create such a place? I dared to dream that this could possibly be out there somewhere... in this world; this epic drama being played out in each of his paintings. I wanted to be a part of it. His figures seemed to push the bounds realism in their perfection and strength as does his vivid use of color, texture, and atmosphere. It was almost to much to take in. I was privileged enough to visit his gallery, Frazetta's Fantasy Corner in East Stroudsburg, PA, as a young teen. That of course only fueled my enthusiasm for his work. This was before he had built the museum in 1999. In my tribute work to Frank Frazetta I am aware I stand on hallowed ground. They are a testament of my admiration and appreciation of his iconic paintings. As incredibly exciting as it is for me to create these paintings, they're for Frazetta fans everywhere as well.

	Introducing, The Vintage Tattoo. A collection devoted to old-school skin art. This series is a collection of the traditional American tattoo rich in its heritage with its expressions of love, desire, and ambition. Originally embraced by rebels, sailors, and gangsters, Bob Gherardi strives to capture antique tattoo through his own painting style and interpretation honoring and preserving the designs from which they originated.

	The following artwork was featured in a live auction celebrating the 20th Anniversary of New York City Relief Bus (Reliefbus.org), an organization which exists to respond to the poor and broken by going to the streets to offer food, compassion, and connections to resources that lead to life transformation
