BIOGRAPHY

"Prophet" Royal Robertson was born in Baldwin, Louisiana, between 1930 and 1936. He left school in the eighth grade. In his late teens, he left Louisiana and traveled along the west coast for several years. He returned to Louisiana to care for his aging mother and then married. After nineteen years, Robertson's marriage soured, and his wife left him, an event which continued to haunt him until his death in 1998. Although he had already trained as a commercial sign painter, in 1978 he began studying studio art via a correspondence course he saw advertised on the back of a matchbook. Soon thereafter he began decorating his house inside and out with hundreds of drawings and signs denouncing the "treachery" of his former wife and most other women as the source of all male difficulties, most specifically his own. His fury gradually took on the status of a mental illness, in which he imagined himself to be the victim of an evil worldwide female conspiracy with science-fiction overtones. Robertson had keen interests in astrology, numerology, and religious cults of all kinds.
