Robert Boyajian

Robert (Bob) Boyajian is a well-known calligrapher who worked for 40 years in New York City. He began creating hand done, one-off calendars using pens, brushes, paper, pressed flowers and any other material that caught his interest at the time. Bob brings a different flare to the group of eight artists working on the ALRI – Timberland 02863 Boot Project. His test boot sticks out among the others, with its bright and bold colors wrapping around the bottom of the boot with tattoo like symbols leaving the rest of the boot untouched. Unlike some of the other painters his artwork is very precise and definitive; the shapes are sharp and do not blend together but compliment each other in their placement. Some awards Bob has received through out his career include: Award of Recognition and Appreciation from the International Association of Master Penman, Engrossers and Teachers Handwriting, Award of Appreciation from the Society of Scribes and Fellowship Award from the New York Club of Printing House. After his fine career in the city Bob retired in 1996 and now lives and works in Newport, Rhode Island. To see samples of Bob’s Calligraphic Calendars visit http://bobboyajian.com/.
