MY NAME IS BOB RABBIT,
​
I'M AN ARTIST LIVING IN THE VALLEY OF THE SUN,
CREATING MUSIC, VIDEOS, AND EXPERIENCES
WITH THE INTENTION OF MAKING OUR LIVES
MORE MEANINGFUL.
HERE ON THIS WEBSITE YOU WILL FIND THE MAJORITY
OF THE WORK I'VE DONE
IN THE WAR FOR ART, COMPASSION, AND HUMANITY.
MY HOPE IS THAT YOU WILL
FIND INSPIRATION HERE ON SOME LEVEL
AND IT WILL FUEL YOU TO KEEP ON MOVING.

THANK YOU FOR CRUISING THROUGH TO DIG THE WORK!

REFLECTIONS ON LIFE THROUGH "RABBIT NOTES"

THIS RIGHT HERE IS A RABBIT NOTE:

IT'S THE END RESULT OF A GRATITUDE PRACTICE
I'VE BEEN WORKING AT FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS NOW.

EACH NIGHT, 
I SIT DOWN AT MY RICKETY RED WOOD DESK
FROM A RANDOM GOODWILL IN ARIZONA
AND GIVE THANKS FOR MY LIFE
AND THE MEANINGFUL PEOPLE
AND HAPPENINGS THAT GIVE IT SUBSTANCE.

AT THE TOP IS AN OBSERVATION FROM THE DAY
FOLLOWED BY "THANK YOUS..."
AND  A QUICK DOODLE.

IT'S MY WAY OF MANUFACTURING
​A MORE GRATUITOUS OUTLOOK ON LIFE.

IT HAS HELPED ME IN OH SO MANY WAYS
AND I IMPLORE ANYONE WHO DIGS
TO TAKE UP A PRACTICE OF THEIR OWN.

THE "HAITIAN BREEZE CAFE EP"

HEAR MORE TRACKS

HAITIAN BREEZE CAFE IN IT'S ENTIRETY WAS BORN IN THE SUMMER OF '18
WHEN RONY PIERRE (MY HAITIAN BROTHER) AND I SPOKE ON THE PHONE ABOUT HIS AMBITIONS TO OPEN UP
HIS OWN CAFE IN LÈOGÀNE, HAITI.
I'D BEEN WAITING FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO A NEW PROJECT
WITH MY NON-PROFIT INITIATIVE, BOB RABBIT PROJECT, AND HAITIAN BREEZE CAFE SHAPED UP TO BE EXACTLY RIGHT.

A FEW MONTHS LATER , MITCH WENIG, KEVIN MURPHY, ESTEBAN OBREGON, AND MYSELF
​EMBARKED ON OUR JOURNEY TO HAITI
WITH MONEY RAISED THROUGH KICKSTARTER AND DID OUR BEST
TO GET THE CAFE SPACE RENOVATED AND PURCHASE ALL THE EQUIPMENT NECESSARY TO OPEN FOR BUSINESS.
WE LAUGHED, WE CRIED, AND WE SWEATED LIKE MADMEN,
BUT EACH MOMENT WAS WELL WORTH THE EFFORT AND FOR IT WE ARE BETTER AND WISER INDIVIDUALS.

THE LP YOU SEE ABOVE MAKES USE OF SAMPLES AND RECORDINGS MITCH CAPTURED WHILE WE WERE IN HAITI,
WHICH  WERE THEN FLIPPED BY MYSELF INTO A BATCH OF SONGS THAT HIGHLIGHTS MY LIFE AT THE TIME.
I WAS ON ANTI-DEPRESSANTS FOR 2 YEARS AND DECIDED TO BE DONE WITH THEM PRIOR TO RECORDING.
FIND WHAT YOU MIGHT IN THESE SONGS AND KNOW THAT I, BOB, AM PROUD OF MYSELF THAT I GOT THEM DONE
DESPITE THE TURMOIL HAPPENING IN MY MIND AT THE TIME.

BELOW IS THE 50 MINUTES MOVIE WE CREATED WHILE WE WERE IN HAITI DOING THE WORK.
IT'S SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN A DOCUMENTARY AND A MOVIE,
BUT IT IS AS AUTHENTIC AS IT GETS AND WILL LIVE ON AS INSPIRATION FOR LONGER THAN I WILL.
TUNE IN AND MAY IT BE MEANINGFUL!

SOMETHING SPECIAL!

RABBIT BREW IS A BULK COLD BREW ENDEAVOR I BEGAN THIS PAST YEAR TO HELP ME WITH FUNDING
THE WORLD HAVEST ORPHANAGE IN CARREFOUR, HAITI.
FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS I'VE BEEN GETTING $35 DOLLARS A WEEK DOWN THERE
TO HELP THE KIDS GET FOOD AND WATER FOR THE WEEK.
IT'S NOT ENOUGH BUT EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.
​
I BEGAN THE RABBIT BREW SIDE-HUSTLE AS A MEANS TO INCREASE THAT AMOUNT GOING DOWN THERE.
WHY?
WELL, ONE TIME IN HAITI IT WAS RONY PIERRE AND ME MAKING OUR WAY ACROSS THE ISLAND
AND I RAN COMPLETELY OUT OF MONEY.
WE WERE BOTH HUNGRY AND THIRSTY AND RONY TOOK US TO THE ORPHANAGE WHERE HE GREW UP,
THE WORLD HARVEST ORPHANAGE,
AND DESPITE THE ORPHANAGE'S MOTHER, ANTONINE JEAN,'S LACK OF RESOURCES
SHE MADE SURE WE GOT FOOD AND WATER AND EVEN A LITTLE PRESTIGE (THE LOCAL BEER)
TO HELP US CONTINUE OUR JOURNEY.

I SAT DOWN WITH HERE AND HER HUSBAND, ELIE, AND UPON LEARNING THAT THEY HAD NO MORE FUNDING,
I PROMISED THAT I WOULD DO WHAT WAS IN POWER TO HELP THEM AND THE KIDS.

"OUR GREATEST FEAR IS NOT THAT WE ARE INADEQUATE.
OUR GREATEST FEAR IS THAT WE ARE POWERFUL BEYOND MEASURE"
