about:

My name is Robert Wagner, and I create artwork under the pseudonym “Daedalus Vaughner”.

The most important aspect of my artwork is that it’s meant to be be approachable, regardless of the context of the piece. I’ve spent considerable time improving my techniques & methods so that I could better apply my artistic skills to a wider variety of mediums. I have participated in several Art festivals around the state of Iowa and have done a number of personal commissions for clients across the country.

My commissions are discreet and personalized through conversations with the client to better gauge exactly what they may be looking for in their projects. I want to make it clear that my focus is on providing a window into the inspirations, emotions, and complex influences that manifest in the work. My style is a mirror designed to reflect honesty back at the viewer asking them to consider things beyond the typical.


My goal with my artwok is to provide that mirror conveying the expressions that every individual carries with them. Artwork designed so that those who choose to see through with stalwartness and intuition, can carry with them a lasting authentic artifact of, Their, experience.

Part of the assessment includes understanding the core reason for the piece being made. The process is simple, gather information about you and your connection to the artwork being made; who or what do you want it for, why do you need the piece, and how can I best provide the perfect experience for you.

[Design & Pricing]

Stage two involves a deeper look at the composition, or rather, the design of each particular aspect of the work. Given the you are ready to move forward, I will spend considerable time going over the parts of the work that stand out the most, and composing a rough draft idea of the works final result.

Gallery Portals

Through this portal is for the first of my galleries, the “Hall of Ethereal Atmospheric Macabre”. Step through and take a gander at some of the various pieces placed on its walls. Some of these pieces were made in preperation for the “Iowa Pop Art Festival” 2023, in Cedar Rapids IA. It was the first booth I had operated for the public to view my work, and I have continued to present my work to the public following the success and feedback I recieved. Since then, I have continued to expand this style and technique into other potential mediums, one of which being a book that I am in the process of writing.

The presented artwork IS suitable to MOST audiences. (Given receptibility to context)
