Bio
Hello! I'm Rob McClurg, and my artistic journey spans over three decades across the realms of visual and audio arts, where I've left my mark through a diverse range of creative ventures. Despite recent challenges, including battling an incurable Cancer (ATLL) and the natural toll of years as an artist, my dedication to creating remains steadfast.
In the realm of fine art, I work fluently across multiple mediums such as oil, acrylic, charcoal, and clay. My pieces are crafted with a blend of craftsmanship and artistic vision, reflecting my deep passion for exploration and expression through visual mediums. Previously, I also enjoyed a fruitful career as a tattoo artist, a chapter that unfortunately closed a few years ago.
My expertise in visual arts extends into specialized areas such as Special Effects and Prosthetic Services, Character Design, Life Casts, Masks, and more. I've lent my skills to diverse projects in film, television, commercials, videos, and print, where I've excelled both as a fabricator and designer.
In the realm of audio arts, my journey began with guitar lessons under Mark English of Monstrosity, evolving over the years to incorporate spoken word into music and refine my skills in audio engineering. Mentored by luminaries like CJ Szuter, Tim Aymar, and James Murphy, I've honed my understanding of music composition and production, enriching my ability to create evocative auditory experiences.
Currently based in Washington State, known as The Evergreen State, I drive "Consumed X Chemistry," an Old School American Metal Band that blends raw energy with artistic expression, embodying my enduring passion for metal music.
Looking ahead, especially post-pandemic, I am committed to sharing my knowledge and rediscovering the transformative power of music through teaching. I invite you to join me on this journey as I continue to innovate, inspire, and create in both visual and audio arts, driven by a relentless pursuit of artistic excellence and exploration.
Thank you for exploring my creations and considering a custom piece. Your support and interest are deeply appreciated as I navigate through this challenging yet creatively fulfilling chapter of my life.
Warm regards,
Rob McClurg

R. & K.
My name is Rob McClurg and I’ve been an audio and visual artist for over 30 years. I began taking guitar lessons from Mark English of Monstrosity in 1986. I integrated spoken word into my playing in 1988. In 1990, began audio engineering band rehearsals. My vocal teaching began, under CJ Szuter of Enuff Z'Nuff and the Szuters. Following that, I became a student of the late great Tim Aymar, an “American Metal Legend”, known for his work with Pharaoh, Angband, and most notably Chuck Schuldiner's final masterpiece, Control Denied. I continued under the teachings of James Murphy, the guitar & engineering journeyman of Death and Testament.
Post Pandemic, I'm teaching & reinvigorating myself, through the power of music...
Join me, won't you!!!
