Amory [1980] was raised in Bloomington, Indiana. He graduated from Herron School of Art in 2004, and currently resides in Indianapolis working as a Professional Illustrator. His artistic influence comes from two main sources- his 14 months abroad in China studying traditional Chinese painting in Hunan, and his immense collection of children's books, comics, and graphic novels. In 2005, Amory and his close friend and fellow artist Ben Roe began self-publishing the webcomic Rogue Robot, as a entertaining promotion for their art and design services. Now after 2 years and over 200 comic strips, Rogue Robot's popularity has been a driving force behind Amory's national recognition and diehard local support.

Activities:
I'm a Professional Illustrator, and most of my time is taken up by the online comic I publish (roguerobot.com), painting, drawing, eating, breathing, and sleeping. I'm a Counselor at a Unitarian Universalist youth camp- Marwood. I try to get out as much as possible, ride my track bike everywhere (no car). I ocassionally go backpacking with my Dad down to the Smokies, Kentucky, or anywhere in southern Tennessee. I love my girlfriend Kristen, my Mom, my Dad, McRib sandwiches, Tab soda, and Ninjas.

New Artwork Uploaded
I've replaced all my old images with bigger, better ones. This is a pretty good representation of my digital body of work, I'll have more ...
Amory Abbott's Chalk Wall in Broadripple
I'll be outside Spin (formerly The Patio) this Saturday night working a big chalk drawing on the side of the building. Admission to the alley ...
That didn't take long! Good to have you on board Amory. We'll chat soon.
Ninjas are sweet ... and awesome.
THANK YOU FOR PUTTING UP ART!!!! I have been living for the moment when there would be other 'creative types' on the site. Make sure to submit some work to the POV contest on the arts & culture page.
Welcome aboard.
Yay! Another local artist kickin azz in da hood!
absolutely still on for the street art. I'll have Fitz give you a call if she hasn't already.
...digging your artwork...
Ninjas are extremely cool. And deadly.
I'm looking forward to working with you on the Wheeler logo/show card stuff.
Yeah, Katie sent me an email on Thursday or Friday but the blitzkrieg of work I had last week kept me from really looking at the attachments. But I will definitely look at those, make up some new drafts and give you a call later this week. I'm excited!
Who's the baddest the mo-fo, low-down, around this town?
You are....
Dude I love the rogue robot strip!!! Remember our insanely funny strips from school? So awesome you are on here! Good to see you are having success man.
I'm doin good man, broke up with Sally earlier this year, probably one of the best things I could have done for myself. Been looking for a new job, wanting to step up in the career. I actually recently just moved back in with my momma. Only for a few months though, trying to save some money up and pay off some debts. I'm actually trying to buy a duplex and one of the ones I'm looking is in Carmel. I looked down in fountain square too! Figure it might be a good investment, but hard to tell, I heard there is still alot of crime in that area, especially at night. I'm wary of all the neighborhoods around there. Can't let my RSX become a victim! I grew up right down Southeastern ave. across from the Twin Air Shopping center, so I got a good idea of the area. But I heard the Wheeler building is pretty cool, definetly a place you could focus at! Keep in touch.
Love the art Amory! Keep on adding to that gallery (and use bigger pictures if you have 'em!). If you have any questions about the site feel free to ask.
Should of told you this sooner ... VERY nice work on the murals man. VERY nice work. Thanks for stepping up and taking care of that.
Lovin it... I saw your business card in Indy CD and Vinyl a while back... Amazing work.
You being a fan of art is certainly enough for me to be a fan of yours.
