The Design Work Of Richard Salvucci

By Justin Davey

One of the most amazing artist I have ever laid my eyes on is Richard Salvucci who has accomplished much is his long time running career as a designer, individual and an explorer of the world itself.

His story as an artist began in 1967 as he took a simple trip with his grandparent on a mountain adventure. It was on this trip where his grandmother brought him his first comic book, which was The Tales To Astonish, which featured the famous Incredible Hulk. From this Richard quickly realised his love for larger than life stories and wanted it to be apart of his life in the future.

He has been in the industry for 25 years now, but simply started out tracing his favourite comic characters before he was able to draw them freehand, and develop his technique as an independent artist, this caused him to grow into the astounding artist that he is today. Soon after his interest in drawing animals developed and he took to the traditional arts.

Graduating in the year of 1978, Richard straight away took to become a freelance illustrator and has been very successful in accomplishing his dream, he has been involved in many projects and still continues to push forth and see how far his talents can take him.

In the early 1990's Richard attend a museum exhibition where he was able to see first hand the work of other great artists who painted wildlife also, one can imagine the vast out of inspiration Richard would have gained from taking a trip like this.

Richard is always moving within the artistic mediums as he hate the thought of being confided to a particular style and never allowing ones self to grow and develop as a n artist and an individual. His favourite mediums are oils, tempera, gouache, pencil and on the off occasion maybe ink, but in fairness there are many more in which could be listed here.

Richard is a very amazing artist and its only right that you take the time to see what he has done so far, simply the best one might say. - 30244
