I am artist RICHARD NEUMAN.
My large collection of artwork is popular with boys of all
ages. They decorate walls in all fifty states and in many countries around the world.

Over and over again I receive responses from mothers and fathers saying how hard it is to find pictures and items to compliment their kids room themes of fire, police, construction, trains, planes, cars and tractors. Once found, many are commercial in nature or are in styles resembling images their young child could actually draw.

You ask, "what makes my artwork for kids unique"?

This can be best answered with a quote by a patron from Italy
who recently commissioned two original pieces for his sons, “you have such a rare ability to portray reality, translating it as if it were seen through the eyes of a child: that is what I'm
looking for". That is what countless others seek too.

Enjoy my images. richard-neuman-artist.com
Then I invite your comments and would be most pleased if you share this blog and my art for tots with others.

I create my images using traditional media combined with digital technology. I personally produce each high quality giclee canvas or paper print using seven ink colors. The colors are bright and rich.

Zazzle .com now offers many of my images in a large variety of
items, such as, creepers, shirts, magnets and totes.

After receiving a master's degree in art graphics with a minor
in business, my corporate career was based in the publishing and advertising industry where I have been a graphics designer for two Fortune 500 companies.

Clients Include:Davey Tree Expert Company; Huffy Bicycle Company; Kampgrounds Of America; General Electric; John Deere; Biogen IDEC; and Creative Memories.

Art For Tots -- A Hook and Ladder Fire Truck

hook and ladder fire truck Click image to see larger.

VROOM, VROOM, CLANG, CLANG and a siren's WHEEEEEE is the music heard in many boys rooms. Fire trucks, police cars, ambulances, rescue vehicles, ems vans and medical helicopters speeding to an emergency to save lives and property can inspire a boy for a lifetime. It is no wonder decorating kids rooms with a firefighter, law enforcement and medical emergency response theme is popular.

After receiving a large number of requests, I created this hook and ladder fire truck last year. I used pictures of a fire truck in California as inspiration. Children love the bright colors. The detail is an effective learning aid for viewing how hook and ladder trucks actually look and work. Caution, mothers may be asked questions about this fire truck for which they have no ready answer.

My lighthearted, whimsical style lights up any room. No wonder it has already found its way into many little boy's rooms --and even a few big boy's offices and dens!
