Hi, I'm Rob Larsen. I'm a graffiti artist, writer, speaker and front end engineer from Boston.

Here are five quick facts that might give a sense of who I am:

  1. I've been doing graffiti and graffiti style art for nearly 30 years. My art is in collections all around the country. My art is regularly shown alongside some of the biggest names in graffiti and street art.
  2. I'm an expert front end engineer with 12 years experience leading teams. I've built over 100 web sites and am experienced making complicated, cutting edge web applications.
  3. I'm a published writer with credits as diverse as IBM developerWorks, The Weekly Dig, the Boston Metro and Rare Book Review. I've interviewed people like Bernie Wrightson, Jackie Chan, Tony Hawk and Darren Aronofsky.
  4. I'm an expert on collectible comic books, with a strong focus on the rarest, most valuable books in the hobby.
  5. I'm available for quotes, articles, teaching and speaking on any of these subjects. I regularly present on web technology and I've taught classes on graffiti to students from middle school through college. If you're looking for someone to talk to or write about any of those subjects, I'm your man.

Check out my technology blog or my comics blog in either of those subjects. My art and writing on film are archived here. Please choose a site section from the options below.
