Richard
Powell is a multi-talented painter, illustrator, cartoonist, and
computer artist. Rich's paintings combine Pop Culture
themes, bold design, and playful, vibrant color. Powell is
prolific and determined in his work. He draws constantly,
and is happiest with pencil in hand. The influence of
cartoonists and underground illustrators like R. Crumb and Don
Martin are a strong influence in Rich's work. His images cry
out "LOOK AT ME!", and their demands are gladly met due
to their practiced and delightful execution.
Richard
and friend Deena Ellis select drawings for Powell's exhibition "This is not a Ray Gun"
which opened in June of 2003 at
Williams Gallery West. The
exhibit featured a series of paintings
of toys
from the Baby Boom era, and a cross-section of Powell's cartoons
and illustrations.
