Welcome to puts-a-smile-on-your-face RowdyPencil.com. Rowdy’s whimsical building graphics add sophisticated trompé l’oeil (fools the eye) fun to a smile-challenged world. It’s the power of humor, good for the gut and good for the soul. The first design/execution commission in 1973 was a soup and sandwich restaurant called “What This Country Needs” in pre-computer times. Click logo above to enjoy a ride in the old studio car, and then don’t miss the CLICK HERE FOR ROWDY RIDES VIDEO.

These hand-painted REFEREE FLOOR GRAPHICS with four distinct titles are the real deal here. AI phony baloney lives elsewhere. The 300dpi scan of the entire 80” x 120” painting is equaled by the 300dpi printing on 3M interior or exterior rugged floor-graphics material. Other smaller sizes are available. Registered in the Library of Congress, this REFEREE ball illusion should satisfy your love or hate feelings toward these fellows. Hopefully you’ll make the right call at a referee and avoid a trip to the showers.                        

With rising water and climate change unheard of, the air-brushed painting VIEW OF THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE was commissioned as a joke 25+ years ago. It is no longer a joke. See this hand-painted, fine art reproduction movable art piece inside. However only two of them remain, but are just a phone call away. You will notice that the USPS future mock postage stamp above is dated 2050, which means please get involved now to save our threatened planet and also the GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE.                     

This studio apartment was the initial foray into interior design with wall graphics by artist Dick Fosselman. Published in the San Francisco Chronicle’s CALIFORNIA LIVING color supplement magazine 1971-1972, this three page spread actually decided his career direction after coinciding with architectural model making. Please note that the omitted red-closet bedroom might have been too risqué for the Chronicle at that time. Actually many times it was often suggested to “just water it down.”
