Since then Risko's drawings have appeared in almost every magazine including book jackets, video covers and CD packages such as the Capitol Sings composer series and HBO's Comedy Club series. He had a one man show in the windows of Barney's Seventh Avenue which stopped New Yorker window shoppers to guess the names of more than 150 portraits which Risko had been commissioned to draw throughout the 70s and 80s by various magazines including New Yorker, Rolling Stone, Time & Entertainment Weekly. In 1995 The Desert Inn in Las Vegas asked Risko to create posters for the shows that took place in the legendary Crystal Room in order to recapture the glamour of the theater in it's heyday. The portraits were blown up on billboards and bus shelters throughout the city making the campaign voted the "most liked" and "most remembered" by the residents of Las Vegas. In July of 2003, VH1 commissioned Risko to render the top Pop 200 Icons of the Twentieth Century for a special ten hour production which is still currently airing. Robert Risko lives in New York City. |
