A forty-seven year old failed musician. He thought he would die at the bottom of the bottle.
After ten years and two bands, a rotation of musicians, it all came to an end. His passion squashed.
But little did he know the best was yet to come.
While visiting a former co-worker at her new job, he eyed a nineteen year old blonde. So cute he had to talk to her.
They became friends. And one thing led to another.
She learned he’s a former cartoonist.
“Draw me.”
“Ok.”
She loved it. In fact, she loved it so much that she convinced him to take Art seriously.
And once she took her clothes off for him, everything changed. He took it seriously. First drawing then colored pencils then watercolors.
And soon, he met another nineteen year old cutie at the local coffee shop. A shapely Latina with long black hair.
She saw his work. And also wanted to be painted.
The rest is history.
Six years, dozens of gorgeous models, and hundreds of paintings later, Opium Tales released an anthology of his artwork. Available now on Amazon.

Most “artists” today are dorks with separation anxiety and pronouns in their profiles. Roman Riva lives how an Artist used to live. America’s last Bad Boy Artist.
