So, after 2 years, 15 editions of the magazine and numerous Facebook live broadcasts, the boy known as Rob Crayons has left his job as art director at Singletrack Magazine. He was only 22 when he, surprisingly, got this high profile "dream" job but made an immediate and successful impact, gaining huge respect from his colleagues and gaining a favourable reputation across the bike industry. So, why is he sacking it off and what's next for him? Well, he reckons he got the job "too early" in his career. He didn't want to reach 30 and find that he was resenting his job because it had stopped him doing other stuff. This other stuff includes spending time in the Alps honing his snowboarding skills..............which is what he is about to do, for the coming ski season, as a chalet host. His Mum's in bits that he's given up such fantastic job but I say " crack on , son. You've got the talent and time to come back to design. " Equally, he's got a body of work as a portfolio. Mark and Chipps took quite a risk, putting such a young kid in charge of designing their magazine but he payed them back in spades. Good luck son.
