about me, Douglas Rickard
the skill is showcasing the higher realm
Aren't you fed up with work from artists who often get paid by institutions to shock us with their depressing visuals?
After graduating from Plymouth College of Art and Design, my strong lines and heightened hues have delivered what I believe to be instead, something good into people’s lives for nearly 20 years.
I understand sales equate to true artistic success. Not critics' scores, but audience scores. The red carpet is for everyday people who are paying creatives to use the gift of imagination.
And now, immersing myself in an alternate history, urban fairy tale for adults - I'm writing my first novel.
We know it's easy to bring someone down. But there's a technique of tapping into another place as creatives, to bring an essence of The Blessing into people's lives. Artists should be as servants.
Today, I continue to offer my charcoal and oil pastel drawings in products and gifts at the Douglas Rickard Redbubble Shop.
