Rick has been drawing caricatures professionally for over 25 years and has illustrated for major corporations throughout the world. His work is utilized by those who demand entertainment as well as accuracy in their presentation of a gift caricature. His sense of humor and gift of gab sets the subject at ease, while they wait to see his final interpretation of what he has gleaned from the lively conversation. His performance is enjoyable to the people watching over his shoulder as well. Many times the uproarious laughter from this crowd has ended with applause at the presentation of the drawing. Rick gets to the secrets about the person's experiences in life, the funny things that mean the most to them.

Since Rick is also a professional cartoonist, he is able to render outrageous situations on the spot. Rick draws without a pencil, and the lines that flow from his marker seem effortless. His motto has lways been, "Draw unto others as you would have them draw unto you." Rick is funny without being overly insulting. People who would normally avoid the caricaturist at the party, instead, walk away with a memory they treasure forever.
