About Me.

IN THE MIND OF THE ARTIST
Darrell Robins, aka D.RTST is a Houston based fine artist & tattoo artist, with a BFA in graphic design. He studied at Lamar University and has exhibited in multiple local universities, galleries & festivals. His work explores perspective & memory through bold colors, illustration and visual storytelling.
My art uses inspiration from pop culture, anime, realism, childhood memories, daydreams, & the African American experience. Using dynamic colors, illustration, & perspective, I create a narrative that displays the emotions, people and cultural ideas of the present day. My art revolves not only around my personal experiences & ideas, but around the people who can relate to them while inviting them to share in the feeling of emotion and nostalgia.
D.RTST is more than a name I made for myself it is a brand created for the daydreamers, night owls, & passionate creatives. The name is actually an acronym that stands for (Daydreamer Remaining True Still Today). We are all born creators/creatives no matter what field of life we choose, but it's up to us to remember who we once were and showcase that to the world.
