Always experimenting. A while back, I was curious if I could achieve the same look using no colors, just line and dot thicknesses. These four prints were produced as test prints during the exploration. Ultimately, I never did the print run and stashed these away in the files. Test prints available, link in bio.

Collaborated with my friends at the @lasvegascircuscenter to design this outpatient exam room for @cure4thekids. Cameo by my little road-dogs who traveled down to Las Vegas to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony last week. Thank you LVCC for thinking of me. I am beyond grateful for these opportunities to give back. 🫶

Really proud of this one! I was honored with being artist number one in @leolopizza's Artist Series Pizza Box. It's a great concept, pairing local artists with a unique printed canvas. Each artist print run is only produced once. Get your delicious, artisan pizza in a limited-edition Ricky box until they run out. Only at Leolo Pizza in Petaluma.

Box design/layout by the amazing @designwithcourage

📍 203 N McDowell Blvd, Petaluma, CA 94954

About Leolo:
"Leolo began with a backyard pizza oven and a dream: to create joyful food experiences that bring people together around the table and in community. Food is nourishment—meant to sustain, restore, and connect us. What we eat matters.

At Leolo, we handcraft our pizzas from simple, clean ingredients with your well-being in mind. You’ll notice every pizza carries a small heart—a reminder that food nourishes the body as love nourishes the heart and soul, an idea that’s universal and worth sharing!" taken in Leolo Pizza by @rickywatts

Just finished painting this electrical box for @downtownsanrafael, located at the corner of Fourth and E Streets in San Rafael, CA. Big thank you to the Downtown B.I.D. for including me in this years selection of artists for the Utility Box Art Program.

Marin friends, join me October 9th for the Second Friday Art Walk to celebrate all the completed murals.

That’s a wrap! Free City Mural Festival, 2026. Thank you @flintpublicart for having me. I’d heard about the murals in Flint for a long time but to see it in person was really special. I’m so grateful for the opportunity.

Found this little friend near the wall and used it for a boost while sketching. Spending the week in Michigan with @flintpublicart and a gang of very talented muralists. by @rickywatts

I often say no two lifts are the same but this one was a first today. I found a yellow jacket nest inside the railing of this scissor lift, only after getting stung on the hand.
