About this Blog
I started this blog in 2007 to put some of my art on the internet. Here you will also find a lot of posts about other art that I like (or don't like), and other art-related topics. To see all of my art in one place, please visit my regular website (see link above).
I'm also a guitar player. I have a SoundCloud website where you can hear my original electric guitar instrumentals, ambient electronic music, and some other odds & ends (see link below).
I hope you find something of interest here on my blog. Comments are encouraged! Thanks for stopping by.

RJ,
Well done Blog! You're a great educator. How about some more RJ originals?

Looking for a relative of my moms. She is from sioux city Iowa. She has a pictire painted on my dads old bass drum head from artist same name as you. ( needle in a haystack) love to hear back from you. Hawleyryder@yahoo.com. Mike Golden
Hi Mike--
I received your message on my blog, tried to respond via e-mail but it did not go through. None of what you are talking about rings a bell. I DID paint a drum head, but it was for my friend Richie Morales who was in the jazz fusion band Spyrogyra at that time. I suppose it's POSSIBLE that I did another drum head way back when and just don't remember it, but I don't think so. Do you have a picture of it?
I live in Michigan, near Detroit. My dad's family came from Saginaw, Michigan. I know there are some other Jacobis in the area, but I don't personally know any in Iowa.
Sorry I can't be of more help.
Best regards,
Rick Jacobi
Mike, I believe you are looking for my father, Richard Paul Jacobi. He grew up in Sioux City, Iowa......parents Norm and Lola, sister Susan. He painted a picture on a bass drum. He currently lives in Denver, Colorado, and continues to make art. Do a search for “Richard Jacobi drawings”. Best of luck to you! (My mom thinks Richard might even have purchased an old Barracuda from you, once upon a time.)
