Harry Rickard
Artist | Student | Traditional Art

United Kingdom

Hello there deviants! My name is Harry Rickard and it's my dream to become a professional comic artist - not for the money but simply for the fun that comes with it and getting to see your work inside a professional publication. My biggest inspirations are British comics which I am a keen collector of and a keen fan - my biggest three comics being The Dandy, The Phoenix and the sadly now deceased DFC comic.

I am the editor of The Wizzo Comic - a comic made by kids for kids. Well, I say that - but now a lot of the artists are actually adults, including the incredible Wayne Thompson (of Beano and Dandy fame) and the fantastic Jay Townsend! The comic has been going since 2008 and we have since lost and gained artists to eventually become a semi-professional comic! Fantastic!

In terms of comics, yes, I have had my moments in comics. Firstly I'm friends with many different comic artists - who are all lovely chaps (and chapettes!) - I've also written a Numskulls script for The Beano which featured in the first ever issue of 2012, have had my artwork feature in the Dandy strip, Mr. Meecher, The Uncool Teacher and have been pitching various things with different artists including my failed pitch, Fairytale Funnies with Steve Beckett and my other pitch which I pitched once again to The Dandy with Stu Munro.
Erm, I think that's about it!
