My Bio

I believe in the power of storytelling.

I believe that growth and creativity must be nurtured and good work and solid effort need to be recognized.

Love, faith, optimism, justice, honesty, creativity, persistence, experimentation, innovation, inspiration, and collaboration can not be learned from a book or a tutorial.

* * * * *

I graduated from The Kubert School, a unique art experience. I have been an artist/writer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for Mirage Studios and published a full-color graphic novel, We All Travel Time, through Dougside Syndicate Press. My second graphic novel is a sci-fi/samurai/psychological drama entitled, The Spider and the Mountain, about a lone warrior facing an invincible demon. I am also co-writing a sci-fi, YA prose novel about dangerous teens with earth shattering psychic powers.

The future is now. 2019 was a challenging year and I am thankful to be starting 2020 with a new calendar that had to go back to a second printing. I am always happy when people tell me how they are enjoying my artwork. RICK

ABSTRACT on Netflix has a second season, again with a heady mix of industrial design, typography, and user experience designers. For anyone who wants to be inspired by a glimpse into the creative mind, this is the series to check out.

Finishing possible calendar images. I set a task of creating animal drawings using just BIC pens on scrap paper from my studio. The results were encouraging.

DA Eclipse....I think I like the dark background.

Discovered a gem. ABSTRACT is an 8-part Netflix series on different aspects of design that really takes a holistic approach. Worth watching more than once! I started work on the Tiger illo and did sketches for The Spider and the Mountain comic book cover. I ended up with several false starts and maybe eight versions until something settled in. I will set the cover design aside and see what percolates when I go back to it. RICK

I completed the painting in acrylics. It is part of a collage piece. I hung it in my office because I wanted to look at it every day. Now, I am getting the feeling it needs a cool color to balance it more because right now it is neutral and warm. I spent some time yesterday working on four ink drawings as a warm up that turned out pretty well. The warm ups are part of a series of animal illustrations - which is something I have not done in a while and want to get back to. There are nine currently in that series: Rhino, Crow, Bison, Armadillo, Moose (these are done), Tiger, Lion, Wolf, and Turtle (just roughed in ready to ink). Doing the warm up gets me itchy to start The Spider and the Mountain which is a 24-page comic story. RICK

While I am figuring out how to start the inks on The Spider and the Mountain - I am finishing up a painting on canvas that I started before I left New Mexico. This unfinished piece has been patiently waiting for me and has been recently signaling that it wanted to be worked on. I will post some examples when it is further along or finished. RICK
