Robert George Bleier was born on a chicken farm deep in the heart of Ohio. From these humble beginnings, he clawed his way to the top, passing by his peers to become Senior Grand Cog Extraordinaire in the UCLA School of Dentistry machine. Or so legend has it...
What we do know is, over the course of his 185 years of practice, Dr. Bleier perfected the mystical powers of the
dental arts, cleaning some 185 million molars (That's 1 million molars a year, for those of you scoring at home) of more than 750,000 patients.
Known as 'Evil Professor Bleier' to his students,
'Bobby' to his siblings and cousins, and
'Daddy Dearest' to his 3 loving children, Robert has taken the lessons he's
learned from Dentistry and deftly applied them to sculpture.
His unique style, wanton heed, and giddy cunning in the design of crazed,
multi-headed beasts of varying size, shape and phyla have won him glowing reviews from
international welding experts, the adulation of adoring fans, and Internal Revenue audits
over one particular equine piece allegedly 'damaged' during the 1994 Northridge earthquake.
In addition to sculpting, Robert Bleier takes grand, opulent photographs to
document his travels to obscure, faraway lands (And relatively banal family events). Please
join Robert vicariously in these pages as he visits exotic nations and distant lands, hosts
countless sedars and thanksgiving feasts, and gives shape and life to some of the most
awe-inspiring and ridiculous creatures a person will ever hope (or dread) to set eyes on.
