Background

About Bob Friedenberg

Drawing has been my lifelong hobby and passion since I was pursuing my PhD in theoretical nuclear physics. I graduated in 1976 and worked as a physicist, engineer, software developer, consultant, and executive in various fields and industries for nearly 50 years, before turning my attention to art full-time in 2023. As an artist, I create very detailed black and white pen and ink drawings using a.25mm Rapidograph, a technical pen that allows me to produce intricate and precise lines and shapes. My work incorporates a wide range of themes, from natural scenery to mechanical devices to science fiction and fantasy. I also embed pictures, words, symbols, equations, and other elements into my drawings to add depth, texture, and interest, and to engage the viewer on a long-term basis. Some of my drawings even feature the equations from my PhD dissertation, reflecting my fascination with physics and mathematics. My mission is to capture and manipulate my mind's wanderings and to keep you looking and always finding something new. You can find my work on my website, and on various social media platforms.
