About

R I C H I E P O P E

Growing up in Newport News VA, I played outside in neighborhoods of odd characters, patchy grass, abandoned lots and forgotten alleyways. I played inside with American and Japanese cartoon shows, comic books and video games. As I document both life and imagination in my sketchbook, my work intertwines the world around me with the world inside my head.

Refer to this post. Still using the same tools as of recently, but you never know what I’ll be working with in a year or two. Glue? Popsicle sticks? Chocolate? Only time will tell.
