We reached out to Bobby RogueOne to gain insight into his creative process, explore the stories behind his iconic murals, and understand what drives him to transform Glasgow's streets into vibrant canvases. The artist shared that his concept for murals is often inspired by modern culture or fashion. "Sometimes, though, if it's a commission, I am given a brief, and I create something based on that brief."
Bobby told us that, back when he was working more independently, he would personally choose the locations for his murals. "Nowadays, I am commissioned more, so my wall is chosen for me. Then the wall size and shape dictate how my mural will play out composition-wise."
When asked about the biggest challenges he faces as a street artist, Bobby explained that the size of the wall often presents the biggest hurdles. "The bigger the wall, the more is involved. Sometimes, a design can be challenging. I do find it frustrating trying to think of a good design idea at times. Some come naturally, and some take time to think about and even put together. To be honest, I'm getting older now, and I find everything a challenge, just getting up in the morning, lol."
Bobby prefers not to be too political or push any strong messages through his art. "I just paint fun things and hope that people find them fun and generally see them and have a smile."
