I’m Rick. By day I’m a marketing artist for a game company. At night I draw my own weird stuff.
I’m an ancient game artist who has worked on stuff like EverQuest, Lord of the Rings Online, Plants vs Zombies and lots of other things.

I met up with some artist friends to check out the Andres Zorn exhibit. It was spectacular. Really stellar work of a master painter. This is a self portrait.

"What was your biggest impact on the Internet?"
I worked on the original release of EverQuest as well as the first few expansions. Not only was it a popular game, but it had a HUGE influence on WoW.
I was the main character designer and animator for the project.
