About Mixhive
Hi, I'm David Roberts. I created Mixhive to share my art in a way that makes it easy for people to display.
Artist statement
Each Mixhive collection starts with the same intent: Discover something worth developing and don't walk away from it.
Iterate with scale, rhythm, light, and everything available to the medium until the work has been put in. Pause. Let life get in the way.
Then, come back to it and work the idea over some more, even if that's a year later. That's it. Keep it simple and keep iterating.
Occasionally, stop and publish.
A lifelong hobby
Once I started experimenting with digital art in the early 90s, I knew I wanted to pursue it as a career. I have used it to form or express ideas ever since, so naturally, it has evolved along with me. The art you see on Mixhive today is the current me, interested in the hard-earned payoff of developing a simple and interesting visual through meaningful choices.
I never did make art my full time gig, I became a graphic designer almost immediately. But when I wasn't designing in the office, I was still pursuing art at home.
