Rikk Roberts
The picture's format will not allow me to stick them up here, apparently this guy doesn't have his own website so I had to find his work on Cam's Happy Pencil. Rikk Robert's style is like that of a futuristic George Higham and brings to mind Chet Zar as well. I'll just have to settle for links. . .

Some seem like something Skinny Puppy would use during a live show, that is, if they still employ grotesque statuary for their perfomances, I haven't kept up with their last few endeavors.

Re: Rikk Roberts
Mr. Roberts, your works are remarkable. As a canine, I'm wondering if you have created any works depicting animals and grotesque beasts.

Re: Rikk Roberts
ive done a few beast type creatures before ,a cthulhu ,a mothman ,my version of the blair witch ,some stuff loosely based off of zdislaw beksinski ( im sure im spelling his name wrong,shame on me) and my version of a dinosaur from my own mesozoic era.
i started taking commisions about 4 years ago and ended up doing alot of stuff that i wasnt too thrilled with for the sake of a paycheck and lost sight of the things i really wanted to do .
i ended up getting burned out real fast doing zombies and michael myers and "b" movie monsters that people could care less about ,at least thats what i felt .
so ive taken a break from doing art for about a year .
wich was long overdue in my opinion since ive been at this for roughly 15 years .
i started out in a gallery in willowglen california ,called "the stone ,steel and glass gallery " also known as "art made to match" wich i exhibited there for nearly 4 years ,from there i exhibited at the morpheus in beverly hills for about 3 years ,than did a 3 year show at a gallery in chicago called the "echo gallery" .
with constant commisions squeezed in the middle of all that .
so im now just looking for the right "thing" to set me off on another sculpting tangent .
ive seen some great stuff on this site ,and im proud to be a member and meet such wonderfull and supportive people such as yourselves .

thank you so much for your enthusiasm regarding my work .


best regards

Re: Rikk Roberts
thank you very much candy ,ive got loads of images ,but alas ,im not too tech savvy .
i could send the images to you or someone who might have a better knowledge of how to post such things .
i missed out on the internet craze ,i was stuck in the 80's for 20 years watching cartoons like g.i. joe and thundercats and reading comic books and living in a warehouse making art .
so if any of you would care to help a brotha out ...................................
i would be more than greatfull

thank you so very much again candy

best regards

Richard,

I would gladly create a folder within Rignolo's Studio to host your images. Let me know how you wish to transfer them to me and I can take care of the rest. Supporting member art - whether it be written, visual, musical or otherwise - is a core directive of TLO.

Best,
-Brian

I have uploaded additional images which were graciously provided by the artist to a new directory dedicated to his work:
