Wake up
sleepy head, there is life to be had!
a sky full of promises, so much work to be done.
The door, the door, the door.
I always want to open it!
Rejoice in your sleepwalk through time
wind me up, le t m e

I’M SO GLAD SNOW IS WHITE. WHAT A GREAT DECISION!
SNOWFLAKES SO BIG TORN PIECES OF PAPER FALLING FROM THE HEAVENS AND EACH PIECE BEARS ITS OWN CODED MESSAGE
BUT THE MESSAGE MELTS BEFORE I CAN READ IT.
MY MOTHER TOLD ME BIG THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES. I BELIEVED HER.
A moment is all I need to
touch
your soul.
And that look in your eye.
where I know you like me,
maybe even love me :)

Look in my eyes, read my soul. Don’t drown.
A kiss takes two to feel one. KISS ME HARD, KISS ME LIGHT,
MAKE MY HEART TAKE FLIGHT.
I will throw away my blanket to be wrapped up in your loving arms!
if i give you my heart, what will you do with it?
I love someone so much, I just don’t know who it is yet. Dont tell me you love me,
kiss my face with heart.
A lacey delicate intricate design... the brain.
i lick my lips trying to taste your kiss. remove my veil, and i shine.

I had so much fun at play!
wimgs Sing sweetly my friends, spread your wings.
I could fly when I was a child, my parents didn’t believe me

really!
wind me up
let me go...
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. 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. Clive Jacobson was born in South Africa and graduated from the Johannesburg College of Art in 1976, 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 often teaches typography, drawing and conceptualization at NYU.
