It won the Pegasus award for Best Filk Song of 2007. Rob's songs have often been heard on the syndicated Doctor Demento Show. In January 2006, he and six other comedy music performers founded The Funny Music Project, where they present new songs every single day, released under a Creative Commons license. Rob is also the creator of the clip-art comic strip "PartiallyClips", which is widely read online and has appeared in more than two dozen newspapers and magazines.

He writes science fiction and fantasy, including one unpublished novel and many short stories and poems. Rob also teamed up with Pete Abrams of Sluggy Freelance to create "Get Nifty", a stand-alone card game themed around Pete's comic. Get Nifty debuted in stores in 2006, through Blood & Cardstock Games. His current major project is a full-color Fantasy webcomic called "Erfworld", co-created with illustrator Jamie Noguchi. Erfworld began in December 2006 at Giant in the Playground Games, home of the popular roleplay comic, "The Order of the Stick", by Rich Burlew. After completing Book 1, Erfworld moved to its own website. Time Magazine named Erfworld one of the Top Ten Graphic Novels of 2007. |
