The Art of Rodney Black Sr.
Our gallery showcases the original artwork of Rodney Black Sr., whose creative vision helped shape the visual identity of Out The Pen. From pen sketches to digital art, his work lives on through the Gossip Gang characters and beyond.
Each piece tells a story—some drawn by hand, others brought to life digitally. This gallery is a tribute to his legacy and the art that continues to inspire us.
