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.

Drawing On My Rural Heritage

New Blue Tractor Early Reader Book

Click image to see book and read reviews on Amazon.

The New Blue Tractor has just been published! Now available at Amazon, it is a first reader book for kids who like machines -- to help them become readin' machines. My partner in this book is the very talented author Stacy Gabel.

I have lived most of my life on and around farms. My studio is located on a farm that was settled by my family in 1840. Creating the illustions for The New Blue Tractor was an assigment close to my heart. Hours spent drawing scenes which naturally occur in my everyday life made for many pleasant days in the studio.

I've always been curiuos to know how something works, what make it tick, what holds it together. While I delight in detail, my images are not blueprints nor engineering drawings. They are fun, a bit of whimsy. Sort of realism seen through a child's eyes.

While you and your child read the carefully crafted story by Stacey Gabel, I sincerely hope my illustrations allow you both to enjoy the beautiful world of The New Blue Tractor.
