Fine Artists
Owner DCR Studio/ANIMAL BLUEPRINT COMPANY
Director of Design and Sales at TT Global Trims and Accessories

Robert Redding graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a BFA in Painting and Photography. He has made a career on the cutting edge of fashion and graphic design, working with a range of companies from Nordstrom and Tommy Bahama, to Quiksilver. He has always maintained his fine art roots, collecting art and painting.
Robert’s design philosophy is inspired by history and humor. “Too often we forget our sense of humor in design and art.” he says. “In all of my designs, I try to give each client a small something that they do not expect. I think the blueprints fit that perfectly. I look at the Animal Blueprints as a tongue in cheek nod to architecture, engineering, design and of course our best friend.”
The idea for the Animal Blueprint Company came on 09-09-2009 (and as such, this date is in the stamp on every A.B.C. print). The company was officially launched in March of 2010. The actual background for all Animal Blueprint Company prints is based on an original 1950’s blueprint given to him by a friend, complete with the color, character and texture of that era.
