Robin Joy Riggsbee and Clive Jacobson, fine artists and storytellers, take people by the heart and guide them on a playful, spirited journey through a new world of joy, wonder and possibility. Their world is at once universal and intensely personal, curiously familiar and entirely uncommon, full of discoveries at every turn. Robin Joy’s inimitable creatures and Clive’s oil paintings personify the timeless human dreams of self discovery, freedom, love and play.

Clive Jacobson was born in South Africa and graduated from the Johannesburg College of Art. He moved to Manhattan in 1984, where he continued his career as a graphic designer, winning almost every award the industry offers. In 2006 Clive began painting in oils and acrylics, fusing a combination of portraiture and landscape from life and photography. Clive lives and works in Manhattan, and teaches typography, drawing and conceptualization at NYU. Robin Joy Riggsbee began drawing at a very early age, inspired by the delicate, fine line illustrations of Joan Walsh Anglund — a technique that exists as the core of her art today. As an adult, living and traveling extensively throughout Asia, Robin Joy was particularly inspired and deeply moved by the miniature artwork collection at the National Palace Museum in Taipei, Taiwan. Again, this is reflected in her minute illustrations and intricate pattern designs. Robin lives in NY city, works as an artist/designer and has a showroom in New York’s West Village.
