Rob has been a devoted exhibitor and supporter of the Waterfowl Festival for over 27 years. In 2014 he was inducted into the Waterfowl Festival Hall of Fame. He is a life sponsor of Ducks Unlimited and, in 1996, was chosen as their International Artist of the Year. Rob paints primarily upland game birds, waterfowl, and waterfowl related topics such as hunting scenes and old decoys. He has designed 18 State Duck Stamps. – New Jersey Waterfowl Festival NJ Waterfowl Stamp Program:The New Jersey Waterfowl Stamp Program has been a success story for waterfowl and their habitat. Since its inception in 1984, the stamp program has raised nearly $3 million leading to the purchase of over 16,000 acres across the state from Sussex to Cape May New Jersey. Nearly all of the properties acquired by the program are open to hunting. Since many of the state's most valuable wetlands occur in the southern counties, most of the acquisitions are in that region. The stamp program has also funded habitat improvement projects and research activities related to habitat carrying capacity in New Jersey. From the beginning of the program both stamps and prints were produced by renowned artists for sale. Unfortunately, the artwork for the state waterfowl stamp and the paper stamp itself have been discontinued since 2009, but the dedicated funding for waterfowl habitat lives on through a stamp certification. The artwork was discontinued as a cost saving measure since the considerable expense of producing the artwork and stamps resulted in fewer funds being available for the purchase of waterfowl habitat. This situation is not unique to New Jersey, as other states, which offer state duck stamps, have discontinued their artwork for similar reasons. – NJ Fish Game & Wildlife Division DISCLAIMER: We sell new, and vintage and antique items.
