VISUAL ARTIST BOBBY HILL HIDES OVER $50,000 ON NYC STREETS AND TRAINS!

New York City – It seems as if there’s a grandiose game of hide n’ seek being played in NYC and no, I’m not talking about the kind played by grade school children in summer camp (although that’s fun too). Since July 2nd 2010, pedestrians and subway riders have been pleasantly surprised to find limited edition “Bobby Hill Multiple Original Art Prints” during their commute throughout the city. Each of these unique works of art is conservatively valued at $50 apiece (not considering prices increasing over time), which means Bobby Hill is dropping over a cool $50,000 in total on the unsuspecting folks of the 5 boroughs.

Internationally known visual artist Bobby Hill has created 1000 limited edition Multiple Original art prints to celebrate his one-man show, "BHILLBOARDS" (pronounced: billboards), which opens this upcoming 9/11, for two nights only in NYC during Fashion Week. The exact location will be announced August 31st via Resetuniverse.com and to those who RSVP. The original prints, which currently features images of Bob Dylan, Bob The Builder, and a special one of Muhammad Ali, were individually handcrafted by Mr. Hill on found corrugated cardboard. These pieces will continue to be strategically placed throughout NYC until September 10th, 2010.

The lucky few that find one, will have a unique work of art that lasts a lifetime and the opportunity to bring it to the Bhillboards Artshow to get it signed. In addition, the first 250 guests to the arrive at the show will receive a NYC 9/11 inspired “Bobby Hill Multiple Original Art Print.”

Bobby Hill is a New York based artist.
His work combines a blend of pop imagery, raw graffiti and expressionist elements.

Bobby Hill's career starts as an illustrator. But it wasn't until he researches about Andy Warhol that he becomes interested in screen-printing as an art.

In early 2001, his first editorial illustration appears in "Slam" magazine. Few months later, Bobby gets picked out of several artists to create original commemorative works of art for Coca - Cola. After finishing the job for Coca Cola, Bobby develops a range of new styles and images and eventually posts them for sale on Ebay. Danny Boy of House of Pain Fame sees his work on Ebay and suggests it to be featured in Mass Appeal magazine. At the same time, Bobby gets selected for the Gen Art shows and from 2002 through 2003, his work is exhibited throughout NYC at Splash Light Studios, The Cutting Room, Trust, MaxFish, The Grey Worldwide Gallery, The Art Directors Club and several galleries in Europe.

Bobby's interest in screen-printing developed a brand of T-shirts. In 2004, The bOB hiLL brand of tees, polos, hoodies and thermals was born. The brand got picked up by several retailers in New York City.

His pen and ink line drawings are also very representative of his art. Bobby was very clear from the beginning that he was not interested in decoration art or pictures of flowers; "I'm from NYC (the big city of dreams) and I wanted the subject matter to be about my life and what I go through. As a result, my drawing has that big city urban feel to it".

In many of Bobby's paintings there is handwriting and messages. When the writing is used, it is done for the graphic element but there is often comment that is meant to be read as well. It has the pulsating feel of the street. Sometimes, he will grab posters pasted on a wall and incorporate them into his work. Occasionally he will paste or stitch fabric to his working surface.

Over the last year he has had sold out shows in Spain, France and England. His last exhibit in SOHO drew thousands of people.
