He is often called "The New Hans Christian Anderson" in Denmark, where Hans Christian Anderson is a national hero.

Robert Sargent sold his drawings, illustrations and prints in several New York galleries, and also galleries in Paris, France.

When a customer would come into the gallery to purchase one of his works, "I became fascinated with what angle they were to enter into my life. The other side of it meant that upon purchase--They took something away of me into their lives. Every time they would look on the wall, they would remember our contact. So I wondered a little about them."
