Richard's art career began at the tender age of 7, with an art exhibition at Poole art centre. He later went onto achieve numerous awards including an art scholarship. He has worked for lots of bluechip clients, such as Wilkinson Sword, Kodak, Harley-Davidson, Thomson Local and Motorola. His main client was Fitness First, where he pushed the brand and came up with the "Gym'll fix it" campaign.

Apart from art Richard enjoys making a blend of different cocktails to spice up his weekend, this hobby derived from his Tom Cruise days as a cocktail barman. He is also musically talented and can sometimes be heard down the other end of the street playing either the guitar or piano! It doesn't stop there, because in the winter months Richard can also been seen on the slopes bombing down the mountain like something out of a bond movie.
