Both our artists are great fans of the three movies featuring Willy Wonka and Charlie. They have created artwork specifically for this musical production of "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory".  Two artists with two distinct styles and one subject make for an intriguing exhibit!

Robert A. Kraus (RAK) has been featured in the Gallery several times over the past 13 years. RAK attended the University of Akron before becoming the owner/creator of RAK Graphics which was one of the first independent comic book and game publishers.

RAK is the sole designer and fantasy artist of the board game, "Dragon War" and the 100's of expansions to go with it.  He is the creator of "RAK Attack Monsters", a toy line of game pieces and display and collectible 3D artworks, and "Superfreeks", a superhero spoof series.

RAK is involved in many Comicons and Wizard World cons across the country.
