Zebras. They were running in a group past some thorny trees. All was quite normal until the moment Ros Hill’s imagination began to twist the scene - one of the zebra’s stripes was now caught on a tree limb and was unraveling from its hindquarters.

Finding adjectives to describe Ros Hill’s art is simple. What proves to be harder, and ultimately unnecessary, is pinning a label on what he does. In short, Ros Hill is an artist whose work defines a rich new territory of the imagination, a realm where the precision and detail of the graphic arts meets warmth, passion and wit.

While the majority of his paintings have dealt with African wildlife, Hill has no problem taking his skewed sense of humor elsewhere. “On Saturday He Created The Stars” launched him directly into the golf market. “I went out to my mailbox one day,” says Hill, “and couldn’t believe it when I saw my golf painting on the cover of a national art magazine. That exposure established relationships with galleries around the country."

The popularity of Hill’s humor has been gaining momentum ever since he left his UPS delivery job to take on his art full-time. “This may seem hard to believe, but I actually got a lot of creative ideas while driving that brown truck over the Texas back roads. However, having the time to market those ideas was a whole different story.” So, after 13 years of packages, he said goodbye to UPS, and hello to a welcoming audience of art buyers.

“There is no doubt that I have accomplished a lot since I left UPS,” admits Hill. “But all of my laurels will never measure up to the rewards I get from watching people laugh at my work. That is the greatest compliment I could ever ask for....and it’s my job to keep ‘em smiling."

Ros Hill resides in San Marcos, Texas where his wife and three children act as his greatest critics.

If there’s one thing I love to do, it’s creating one-of-a-kind original art. Art that shows an unusual perspective, and yes, often humorous.

I have done original commissioned artwork for many people, and never have the jobs become dull. In fact, it is the challenge of a commission piece that pushes me to do my best with each individual client.

All of my originals are created with acrylics on cold-press illustration board. The prices vary depending upon the size of the image and the time needed to complete the painting. I have created originals anywhere from 11” x 14” to 9 feet x 3 feet.

Commissioned originals start at $500.00.

If an original painting interests you, please feel free to call or write me anytime, and I’ll be happy to give you all the details.

Commissioned artwork :

"Manhattan Farmer"

This image was solely created for 2003 Art Expo in New York City. While it was a post 9-11 piece, it was actually thought up as simply a humorous image tied to no particular event. It is a skewed perspective of where skyscrapers come from (everyone just thinks they're built!).

My hunch about the popularity of the image was right on as everyone at the show enjoyed its ingenuity. It was sold to a physician who lived in Manhattan, but had come from a farm in Indiana. What a perfect match!
