RICHARD RIOS
I'm an artist who specializes in narrative and sequential art... basically, I thrive on drawing ideas all the way out. Advertising, film, interactive and experiential media, and occasionally animation. My BFA is in Directing, so I understand composition and creating shots that are interesting and actually shootable.

BIO
Born and raised in LA, and I'm still here.
I'm a storyboard artist for nearly any type of media. In fact, the more unique the better. Have a 100 foot LED board you need to make into an optical illusion? I'm your man. Yeah, I've worked on that.
In 2013 I graduated with a BFA in Cinema Directing; from a film school, not an art school. This has translated to a storyboard that focuses more on shot composition, angles, and sequential construction - as opposed to the art of a single frame. This type of board generally helps a lot more in production ...or so Ive been told.
Ive worked on literally oodles of ad jobs, but I'm always looking for opportunities in other fields. The best jobs are the ones I didn't expect. Who said, "One thing I've learned after all these years — you never know what's gonna come through that door" ? ....I don't remember, it'll come to me.
Let me know what you need and I'll see what I can do!
