robertjosiah.net is a web-thing where an artist by the name of Robert shares his words, paintings, photographs, and stuff.

You are currently visiting robertjosiah.net, which is the personal website of Robert Josiah Bingaman, me. To see my professional portfolio, please go here. I live and work in Kansas City America with my wife. During the day I work at a museum, and this site is in no way affiliated with that place. At night, I make paintings, photographs, and words, if I am not hanging out with my chihuahua, Doug.

Below you will find a detailed listing of the stuff I've done up until now, and you can access a PDF version of my résumé by clicking here. If you have any questions or comments, please address correspondence to:

mail@robertjosiah.net

Otherwise, I can be found on facebook, LinkedIn, flickr, delicious, last.fm, Virb, and of course, Twitter. I am also a real person, on earth. Generally speaking, I like it here. Fruit snacks and tape are my favorite things.
