I’m sure you’ve spotted Robert Chapa ‘always’ at my side in the city. You’ve also likely spotted Robert’s graphic designs right here on Sean In The City DFW. Whether it be at fashion events, art shows, or the aisles at Target inseparable is an understatement describing us two. As best friends, we have been compared to Bert and Ernie, Oprah and Gayle, and yes even Cheech and Chong (cough). Our friendship has spanned nearly a decade now, and lord knows, a best friend doesn’t even come close to describing Robert.
This year, Robert has become quite the toast of our city. Last May, his paper rendered models of some of Dallas’ centerpiece structures landed the cover of the Home Design Issue of FD Luxe. His paper creations, for the longest time, have been kept behind closed doors with one mere admirer- me. So, I finally present my overdue interview with a creative force who happens to be my very best friend. We talked all about why he kept his paper talent all to himself, what his creative process is, and what’s in store for the second half of his trailblazing year. Truth be told, I learned a lot more of my BFF, perhaps, even making this ‘ConversaSEAN’ among my faves, without bias of course!
