I first met Rob as a chance encounter during the Southern Redfish Tour in Jacksonville, Fl. We drew each other in a raffle, and we were able to fish the following day and win the Tournament together. He had the fishing sense, knowledge, and love for the sport that can not be taught or faked...he was a natural.
I have met and spoke with Chapman on several occasions after our Tournament win, and he continually wins me over with his personality and dedication to his work, and to our sport. All of this in addition to the fact that I now proudly hang several of his marine art pieces in my living room, and wear his tee designs proudly on my back!
His artwork is simply jaw-dropping. They are beautifully drawn and detailed, but also very unique and distinctive. It is obvious that his love for the outdoors is the perfect match for his love of creating artwork! There is no doubt in my mind that Rob, and his artwork will be a main-stay on the fishing, and marine art scene for decades to come...His grand vision, and work ethic, matched with his genuine sincerity and outgoing personality are a sure-fire recipe for a long, succesful career.
Given this range of skills, and an unbelievable creative mind to complement it all, I am proud to give Rob my highest reccomendation. It is only a matter of time until the name "Rob Chapman IV" is synonymous with marine art, and that same name is found near the top of Tournament standings! I have seen the business side of fishing, and can make this fearless prediction that a sponsorship of Rob, his art, and fishing, is a win-win opputunity. There is no one that can offer the unique combination of skills he possesses, and there is no risk involved in Rob as a person...he is the perfect match for any company looking to expand it's audience, reputation, and potential! I look forward to many more fishing trips with Rob in the future, and expanding my personal collection of his amazing artwork.

"Rob supplied a breath of fresh air into our annual Angelus Fishing Tournament which is held in Port Richey, FL. His amazing snook illustration received many rave reviews by everyone who has seen it, one guy seriously asked if he could use the artwork for a tattoo! We have decided the snook will be a part of our permanent logo for the tournament for "brand recognition", like the famous Miller's Marina Tarpon.
And a few words about Rob, myself being in the construction and property management business, it was a pleasure to work with someone who said what they would do, did the work above expectations, and delivered right on time. Rob is a very talented and hard working guy who will respond to calls or emails almost immediately, for you, the client."
Sincerely,
Mike Stewart, Tournament Director

"I was looking for something special to get my wife for Christmas. We just had our first child in November and I wanted to do something that she would remember and something that included our daughter. I saw portraits that Rob did and knew right away this would be the perfect gift. I contacted Rob the first week of December and asked him if he could do a portrait of my wife and child. Without hesitation he told me he could and that he would have it completed and framed before Christmas came. Sure enough Rob completed the portrait in 2 weeks which was amazing to me. When I gave this to my wife on Christmas day it brought tears to her eyes. She could not believe how detailed the portrait came out and that somebody drew it. We have it proudly displayed on our wall for everyone to see."
Rob, your work is amazing. I want to thank you for doing this portrait for my family. It is something special that will be looked upon for the rest of our life. Thank you again.

"They say, "The eyes are the windows to the soul." So many times I've
seen portraits of people that fail to capture the true "soul" in their eyes.
When I saw the portrait of my daughter and the horse that Rob Chapman
had created, her eyes pulled me in. Rob truly captured her spirt and "soul." We will treasure this piece of artwork for a lifetime."

"This letter is a personal recommendation for Rob Chapman. I was the
tournament director for the inaugural NE Florida Offshore Blitz saltwater
fishing tournament. My two biggest obstacles to running a successful
tournament were the cost and time involved. Rob was able to help me
in two ways to overcome those obstacles. He graciously donated his time
and artwork for the benefit of the tournament. Throughout the process of
working with Rob, he was always prompt and followed through with what he promised.
I, personally, place great value on following up on your promises.
Rob's professionalism allowed me to devote my time elsewhere because I
knew I could depend on him to follow through and he never disappointed.
It is my pleasure to give him my personal recommendation and I hope I
will continue to have the opportunity to work with him on future projects. "

Tournament Director, Offshore Blitz I & II

"Rob, Just wanted to thank you for all your efforts in coming up with a
customized logo for our fishing team. We fish throught the state of Florida
and the logo you did for our team really gets the attention it deserves.
Your creative idea of incorporating the state of Florida in to the Kingfish
art really is unique. Who would have thought of that?I really appreciate
how easy you were to work with during the art process and how open you were
to our suggestions.
Thanks again for everything. The "Just 1 More" fishing team wishes you the
best of luck in your graphic design career. With your knowledge, creativity
and eye for quality, your possibilities are endless."
