Unshaven cats and bad girls, Mickey Rat (or Mickey the rat) and a happy (but for some reason vicious) cat, Porky's pig and uncle Black Sea! Here are just a few of the inhabitants of the funny house of Dick Daniels, an illustrator whose funny characters from the Funhouse57 cycle attract and repel at the same time, they are so funny and ugly.
Dick Daniels is an illustrator, ceramist and painter from Kansas City.). Dick grew up in the 60s. Well, he also works part-time as a garbage man. Growing up in the 60s, he, like Tom Vallen and his vector art, was influenced by the culture of those years - hippies, comics, American folk art, and the ability to advertise at low cost. He has been working as an illustrator for most of his life. Best of all, he is able to draw funny and ugly characters, people and animals, the inhabitants of the fun house 57.
For his pleasure, he also makes ceramic sculptures, which are also very funny. Although there is something scary about them. Apparently, this is due to the fact. That he creates them in his dilapidated studio in the basement of the house, inside which is a heap of rubbish, peculiar artifacts from the past - dilapidated robots, boxes, wet pieces of wood, gnome-smurfs.
Dick Daniels' fun house was noticed by the owners of museums - and this resulted in the "funhouse" exhibition, which was very successful.
Galleries of his work are available on his website:
