About R.G. Taylor

R.G. Taylor is the Founder and President of Spike Media Group, LLC (SMG) — a multidisciplinary creative studio dedicated to transforming R.G.’s intellectual properties into powerful stories through painting, wearable art, theater, animation, television, and film.

SMG’s mission is to build meaningful cultural impact by connecting art, storytelling, and community. Through projects like SLAM! (Support Living Artists Movement) and cornerstone collections such as Impact and Audacity, R.G. expands his visual storytelling into both fine art and fashion.
Each collection began as a series of paintings, then evolved into wearable art — allowing collectors and supporters to literally wear the message of creativity, courage, and social impact.

R.G. earned his Bachelor of Science in TV, Film, Radio, and Performance from Oral Roberts University, then continued his studies in Directing at Columbia College Chicago, where he was honored to study under Sheldon Patinkin, Chair of the Theater Department, and Michael Maggio, Assistant Artistic Director of The Goodman Theatre.

A professional actor, producer, director, radio host, teacher, speaker, and best‑selling author, R.G. brings decades of experience in storytelling and performance to every medium he explores.

His inspiration for writing began with bedtime stories for his two children — tales that became the foundation for his literary and visual work.

“Making up stories for their bedtimes and inserting them as characters was always fun for us. I hope my books will inspire families to work together to make their community a better place.”

The first book in his planned series, Spike and the Holiday Parade, introduces readers to a world of imagination, kindness, and collaboration — themes that echo throughout his art and creative projects.

R.G.’s paintings are exhibited throughout South Florida and held in private collections. His Impact and Audacity collections continue to inspire new works and wearable art designs, bridging fine art and everyday expression.

Through Spike Media Group, R.G. continues to expand his creative universe — blending fine art, narrative strategy, and social impact into a living legacy of work that inspires audiences to think boldly, act compassionately, and support living artists.
